Legendary Styx frontman Tommy Shaw stops by the cellar to tell Phil the "true story" of writing the hit song "Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)" - including experiences with family, friends, and an intoxicated Hawaiian boat ride. He details the path of his career, leaving Montgomery, Alabama as a teenager, turning down offers for a solo career, and joining a band in Nashville's famed Printers Alley - the latter which garnered a large fan base in Styx's hometown of Chicago, leading to them calling Shaw and asking him to audition for the band. Phil and Tommy talk about the timelessness of Styx music, still enjoyed today by people of all ages as the band continues to tour around the world. Phil ends the show solo with one of his favorite songs to play on tour, "Amazing Grace."
