Talking with Tim

So apparently someone at Rolling Stone thought its reading audience was dying for a Styx reunion. So they tried to stir up the possibility, by interviewing Tommy Shaw-and most recently, Dennis DeYoung.

And this is a bad interview-made mostly weak by poor editing. So DeYoung was a wiseass on the phone interview: shocking. But did we have to read every stupid joke he made? Here’s a snippet (interviewer questions in bold):

Thanks for calling.
Am I getting you at a bad moment? You having sex or something? You’re in the office, right?

Ha, yeah. I can talk.
Thank god.

Where are you calling from?
I’m calling from a telephone.

Gotcha. How’s your tour going?
Well, Andy, whenever they want a middle-aged white guy to sing high, I raise my hand. We do about 50 to 60 shows a year, depending on my prostate.

So how’s that doing these days?
Well, actually for man my age – I’ve seen worse.

So, I was reading . . .
I deny it! I deny all allegations, your honor! That maid is a liar!

Hard to believe that Rolling Stone stretched this Q&A to two unreadable pages.
