RON SWARNER: SWEET MADAME BLUE THEN CRAPS >>>

Tonight, show all your stick-in-the-mud friends that Styx inspires more than just a swell night of drunken karaoke. Seriously, they might think “Come Sail Away,” “The Grand Illusion,” and “Blue Collar Man,” belong in the VFW, but that’s just because they’ve never witnessed ’70s/’80s rockers in the Emerald Queen Casino make like Napoleon Jagger.

[Emerald Queen Casino, Saturday, Fe. 7, 8 p.m., $40-$70 at Ticketmaster, 2024 E. 29th Street, Tacoma]
