“It was very upsetting to see The Art Guys become the focal-point of all this anger,” Reese Darby says . “There was no reason to be hateful.”
“It was very upsetting to see The Art Guys become the focal-point of all this anger,” she says. “There was no reason to be hateful. I went into this project hoping to broaden the conversation about the piece, not to attack The Art Guys.

Houston Strip Clubs: Saturday Night: Styx & REO Speedwagon At The Woodlands
Published May 14, 2012 Houston strip clubs 0 CommentsIt would be incorrect to call them naifs, because any band that can write from such a bitter place as “Take It On the Run” knows just how cruel the world can be, but REO hasn’t lost a certain sense of small-town wonder. “Golden Country,” one of the oldest songs they played Saturday, brought the crowd to its feet when the LED screen showed the Stars and Stripes. Later, singer Kevin Cronin brought astronaut Col. Douglas Wheelock onstage to thank him for bringing an 8-track of Hi Infidelity to the International Space Station in a moment that… sorry, it was just cool.
By contrast, big-city Chicago boys Styx are both more theatrical and conceptual. Lawrence Gowan plays a rotating piano, sometimes from a reverse angle, if that tells you anything. Their songs imagine the singer as a man hunted by the law (”Renegade”) or a woman seeking her fortune in the neon desert of Las Vegas (”Miss America,” begging for a stripper pole).
