I have the old video casseste (anyone remember these?) for the album, it was called Caught in the Act and it was a live concert. Anyway, it had a story to tell using songs such as Mr. Roboto (written for the Paradise Theater tour). Anyway, the story goes that Kilroy was framed for a murder and he escaped Dr. Righteous's prison by disabling a Roboto (Dr. Righteous' evil henchmen to clarify) and putting it on as a disguise. Later he meets up with Jonathon Chance (Tommy Shaw) and whats his face (John Pinazzo) and they started this concert in a hall where Dr. Righteous had labeled it like the rock hall of shame type thing. Anyway, They start this concert with the roboto and all that whatnot and then they go through the concert celebrating and trying to bring back rock and roll and tell everyone that censorship is wrong. So then Dr. Righetous comes and rains on the parade singing his fancy Heavy Metal Poisoning. The song itself is basically a reverse phycology thing literally saying rock is poison for th emind, but really saying (since styx does the song...) that censorship is bad and rock isn't the bad thing here. It wasn't like they are a satanist band (Though in the video, someone had said that their songs contained "backwards satanic messages" on the paradise theater album ((JY complained about it right before they sang snowblind)) but that's a load of crap anyway. Any song backwards sounds like the work of the devil, I don't care if Styx sang it or if Newsboys (a christian band) sang it.
