I love this song. What most people don't know is that it is taken from a song Tommy wrote with a band he played in for three years before joining Styx. The band was MS Funk; the original song was called "Bitter Suite." It is interesting to listen to MS Funk's music and see how much they influenced the Styx sound on the Crystal Ball album. Tommy was more of an influence on what developed as the Styx sound of the 70s than most people think.
