Classic Artists Today: Welcome to 'The Grand Delusion'


Collaboration teams syndicated radio program with rock author on promotion


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



Syndicated radio show Classic Artists Today (The CAT) has partnered with author Sterling Whitaker to give away his book The Grand Delusion: The Unauthorized True Story of Styx in an on-air promotion the week of June 9th - June 16th.


The show, which features new music performed by classic rock, pop and soul artists, is broadcast in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean, and is also simulcast on the World Wide Web. Times and "tune-in" information are available online at www.classicartiststoday.com, as well as www.myspace.com/classicartiststoday. New interviews with classic artists are available online at www.myspace.com/classicartiststodayinterview.


"I'm thrilled to be able to expose my book to such a broad and targeted audience," says author Sterling Whitaker. "The CAT is a really valuable resource for fans of the kind of timeless music from that era when Styx first emerged, so they can keep up with what an old favorite is doing today. For a band like Styx that's still out there performing a hundred dates a year, it's a perfect fit." Culled from the author's personal interviews with band members, managers, record company executives, crew members, journalists and other insiders, The Grand Delusion is the first-ever in-depth biography of the superstar rock act that has sold more then 35 million albums in a career spanning three decades.


From June 9th until June 16th, The CAT will announce the giveaway on-air as part of that week's show, and a listener in each market will win an autographed copy of The Grand Delusion. Four additional copies will be given away online as part of the promotion.

How come Neither James Young nor Dennis De Young wanted to be interviewed for your book?

Both Dennis and JY cited the settlement of their lawsuit as the reason for not granting interviews for 'The Grand Delusion'. I extended the offer to each of them several times, but they simply would not be swayed. It is probably the greatest disappointment of my writing career, the inability to speak with them.

I hope all is well.
