Question 2 of 10

Question 4 of 10
4. "I think you are initially afraid that no one has anything in common with what you think, nobody cares about your feelings, nobody has the same feelings that you do.

Question 7 of 10
7. "But this work, these 25 odd songs, are the greatest work of my life. If it ever sees the light of day, I really believe it will ultimately dwarf what I did with Styx. I believe that." Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. "There's no deodorant like success." Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. "I'd never touched (a piano) in my life. In fact, I only bought my first piano, a console, in 1975, and literally the only time I had ever played acoustic piano before that was when we recorded 'Lady' in 1972. I had to walk in cold to that session; that was my first real attempt at playing acoustic piano." Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. "I bought my first combo organs, a Vox Continental and a Vox Jaguar. Those were the first two I owned, because the Beatles had Vox equipment." Hint
