Styx and politics.

 

 

U.S. Rep Dan Lipinski (D-Western Springs) is perhaps the only congressman in the history of this great country to make the connection. Yet there he was on the House floor Tuesday, reminding the chamber of his opposition to the federal banking bailout that commenced last year.

 

Lipinski said the bill allowed for "too many loopholes and provided no guarantee that middle class Americans would be helped by this huge expenditure of their hard-earned money."

 

He went on to say he talked with one of his better-known constituents, Styx singer-songwriter Dennis DeYoung.

 

The two apparently chatted about the economy and how it pertained to the song "Rockin' the Paradise" on the band's 1981 concept album "Paradise Theatre," which was recorded locally at Pumpkin Studios.

 

During his remarks, Lipinski quoted from the song:

 

''Don't need no fast buck, lame duck profits for fun, quick trick plans, take the money and run. We need long term, slow burn, getting it done, and some straight-talking, hardworking son of a gun.''

 

Rock on, Congressman. Rock
