...silver space suits, lu Cont walked out with Jo Reynolds, his good-looking blonde guitarist and proceeded to launch into a robotic dance. Perhaps it would be better described as a winking, ironic take on dancing: efforts to banish thoughts of that Volkswagen commercial where the guys dance to Styx's "Mr Roboto"(or my actual efforts in to do the same dance in the '80s) failed.

...consciously sayOK, I'm going to take that baseline from that songbecause I know its cool, when at least you knowwhere it came from, you may write a song and haveit all together, only to realize years later that,Oh my God, the chorus sounds just like a Styx songI heard when I was in high school! And then you'reruined. But I try not to do that. I don't usefactory sounds that come with the machine, becausethere's so many more you can do on your...
