I Am Not Trying To Start A Music War With Anyone

What's the secret connection?

There is nothing funnier than the actual description of the video: "Styx's performance of Fooling Yourself (Angry Young Man) at the Walworth County Fair (Elkhorn, WI) in September of 2005." Not THE Walworth County!

Were you aware that Jethro Tull once teamed up with Jan Hammer or Vangelis? Neither were they! Cocaine's a hell of a drug!

If this is them on overdrive, I'd hate to see them in second gear or when the engine starts flooding because you hit the gas too much. Not completely related question: did they transport a Viking from the 12th century across space and time to play bass with them?

The video becomes a lot funnier if you imagine that John Waite is actually k.d. lang. I mean, apart from looking and sounding alike, I'm sure that exercise is completely unfair.

"We have our own way of doing things here. The Sex Pistols are scum trying to make a fast buck, which they are entitled to do under the law. I am entitled to try and stop them. We'll see who wins. Now, I've seen many of the groups play. I've nothing against Mick Jagger and his ilk. Some of his gestures appeared lewd, and they were probably meant that way, but the audience was not tearing up the seats. I will say this for the Sex Pistols: there's one band that's a damn sight worse: the Bay City Rollers." (full article here)

And now, the answer: they're all on my digital music jukebox! I'm so lame!

UPDATE Seriously, these clowns are terrible, and I only still have them in my jukebox and in my brain because of the corrosive influence of my parents' vinyl collection, of which this quartet of jokers is actually the LEAST LAME (the Pozo-Seco Singers, Mitch Miller Sing-Alongs, and Herb Alpert rounded out their "heavy rotation" set of discs). I'm not entirely sure, but I think this song is about their early career. Fucking fantastic! Unfortunately, this band is like a hot sale on the Home Shopping Network: there's ONLY ONE LEFT!
