Miss America (Styx) cover

From the Styx 1977 seventh studio album The Grand Illusion. "Miss America" was written and sung by Styx guitarist James Young. This song is often interpreted as a gritty send-up of the Miss America pageant, taking aim at the shallow and exploitive production that casts aside the winner as soon as someone new takes her crown. While the pageant does frame the metaphor, it is not what the song is about. James Young was sometimes cast as a misogynist for his work on this song, thanks largely to the Rolling Stone review of The Grand Illusion, in which Joe Fernbacher wrote: "'Miss America' simply reeks of misogynistic misdirection. What Styx thinks is a compliance with current feminist fashion turns out to be nothing more than a spiteful acquiescence to sexual bigotry and impotence. Dennis DeYoung responded on his website: "It's his ignorant and malicious evaluation of the song's lyrical content that enrages... I witnessed first hand the agony and feeling of helplessness he [James Young] endured." The keyboard figure is a riff on "There She Is, Miss America," the song host Bert Parks would sing to the winner of the Miss America pageant.
