Fear not, classic rock obsessives: the global economic crisis will not waylay this year's round of washed-up, amusement-park-haunting ghosts of '70s arena rock. In fact, a couple such bands are using all this talk of stimuli to their PR advantage. Behold, VH1 Classic and the video game Rock Band® present REO Speedwagon and Styx on the Can't Stop Rockin' Tour. In addition to recording a song together next month that will be called "Can't Stop Rockin'" (listen for it on a Flomax commercial near you), REO and Styx are pulling their pals .38 Special out of deep freeze and setting out on a tour that's "geared to give the ultimate classic rock experience at a fan friendly ticket price."
What's that price? Why, only $13.50 in most markets. (Still a good thirteen bucks more than any sane person would pay for this tour, but not a bad deal nonetheless.)
"Both bands have always tried to keep our ticket prices low so that none of our fans get left out. It's our own personal Rock 'n' Roll Stimulus package," Tommy Shaw, guitarist and cryptkeeper for Styx, is quoted as saying in the press release.
Tickets for the Kansas City show, June 4, at Starlight Theatre, go on sale March 7.

What are you talking about ??! I'd tell you to read my blog but I dont think you'd be able to read it?!!!! arrrrggghhhhh!
We saw Styx Saturday night in Durant Oklahoma....Myself and 4 other fans were able to get to the back of the event center where the band was coming out and loading up into their van. The promotor was a real butt as well as some guy that said he was their manager...They refused through this so called manager to sign any autographs or take any pictures with us...It's not like we were a bunch of teeny-bopper groupies! Just a few fans wanting to get a couple of pictures....Never again will I waste my money to see them after getting that treatment...If it wasn't for us fans just where do they think they'd be??? Still playing in the bowling alley in Montgomery Alabama...
Computer or device connected to a network and ready to use other computers or devices.An electronic ticket is a paperless electronic document used for ticketing .
$16 for ting-tings is totally not worth it. i'd take that money and go check out the Primitives and Darling Buds instead.. or better yet, buy a Go-Go's record.
Haha! Perhaps you could split the difference and get Debbie Harry's latest solo album, used.
