decades, Lawrence Gowan has been the \u201cnew\u201d guy in Styx who has just recently released The Mission, their best album since The Grand Illusion.\u00a0 Lawrence obviously is a glutton for punishment as once again he decided to talk with me, this time for the Blowin\u2019 Wind podcast.\u00a0 As always, Lawrence was his hilariously charming self and it was a blast to talk to him.\u00a0 We talked about his thoughts on The Mission now that it\u2019s been out a while, we talked about their summer tour with Joan Jett and Tesla, and we talked about, well, all kinds of awesome shit.\u00a0
