I went running the morning after those horrendous 9/11 attacks on our country. On my Walkman, I was flipping stations, and as you can well imagine, it was not a normal day on the airwaves. WJMK-FM at the time played oldies from the '50s and '60s, But I listener called in and requested "Rockin' the Paradise" by Styx. I believe the DJ, John Landecker, had to send out his producer to buy it, Styx didn't fit into the station's format.
Like myself, Styx is a product of Chicago's Roseland neighborhood and the city's southern suburbs. Here they are performing "Rockin' the Paradise":
Whatcha doin' tonight, I got faith in our generation
Let's stick together and futurize our attitudes
I ain't lookin' to fight, but I know with determination
We can challenge the schemers who cheat all the rules
