The Many Lives of It: Essays on the Stephen King Horror Franchise, edited by Ron Riekki, foreword by Joe Mynhardt, McFarland, 2020. Cover image di Shutterstock, info: mcfarlandbooks.com.

After its publication in 1986, Stephen King’s novel It sparked sequels, remakes, parodies and solidified an entire genre: clown horror. Decades later, director Andy Muschietti revitalized King’s popular novel, smashing all box office expectations with the release of his 2017 film It. At the time of its release, the movie set the record for the world’s highest-grossing horror film. Examining the legacy of the controversial cult novel, the 2017 box office sensation and other incarnations of the demonic clown Pennywise, this collection of never-before-published essays covers the franchise from a variety of perspectives. Topics include examinations of the carnivalesque in both the novel and films, depictions of sexuality and theology in the book, and manifestations of patriarchy and the franchise, among other diverse subjects.After its publication in 1986, Stephen King’s novel It sparked sequels, remakes, parodies and solidified an entire genre: clown horror.

Terry Kath's Untimely Death

Terry Kath's Fate

Terry Alan Kath was born on January 31st, 1946 in Chicago, Illinois. He is most notably known for having been one of the founding members of the band Chicago.

Terry was born to Raymond Elmer and Evelyn Meline Haugen. He had an older brother named Rod, and was raised in the Norwood Park area of Chicago. He was of German, English, and Scandinavian descent.

His brother Rod played the drums, and his mother played the banjo, which he tried to learn for himself. In the 9th grade, Terry acquired a guitar and amplifier. His influences included The Venture, Johnny Smith, Dick Dale, and Howard Roberts, then later was influenced by George Benson, Eric Clapton, and Jimi Hendrix.

Kath attended Rufus M. Hitch Public School, Taft High School, and DePaul University.

Some of his favorite movies included ‘Taxi Driver’ and ‘Fantasia’.

Unlike several other members of Chicago, Kath did not recieve much formal music training, and was mostly self taught. In a 1971 interview with 'Guitar Player', he stated that he had tried professional lessons, but abandoned them because "All I wanted to do was play those rock and roll chords". According to one source, Terry also didn’t read music.

Kath's father wanted him to have a steady career, but Terry preferred a career in music.

In 1963, Terry joined his first semi professional band, called 'The Mystics'. He later moved on to ‘Jimmy Rice and the Gentlemen' n 1965. From there, he went to play bass in a road band called 'Jimmy Ford and the Executives', which featured band members Danny Seraphine and Walter Parazaider, who would later join him in the band Chicago. In 1966, he joined the cover band the ‘Missing Links’, and started playing in clubs and ballrooms on a regular basis. Parazaider’s friend Lee Loughnane, would play with the band from time to time, as a trumpeter. Terry recieved an offer from James William Guercio to play bass for the ‘Illinois Speed Press’, another band from Chicago, and move to Los Angeles. Kath declined the offer as he considered the guitar his main instrument and wanted to sing lead vocals.

According to Peter Cetera, the band was booked to perform at Woodstock in 1969, but promoter Bill Graham rescheduled them to play at the Fillmore West on a date of his choosing, which was the Woodstock dates. Santana took Chicago’s place at Woodstock, with this performance being considered his breakthrough gig. parents’ basement. Eventually, they added singer and bassist Peter Cetera.

In June of 1968, at the request of James Guercio, who had become their producer, the band moved to Los Angeles. The band moved and signed with Columbia Records, changing their named to ‘Chicago Transit Authority’. They started performing on a regular basis at the ‘Whisky a Go Go’ in West Hollywood, which gave them more exposure, and became opening acts for Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. Jimi Hendrix is quoted as having said about the band,

“Jeez, your horn players are like one set of lungs and your guitar player is better than me.”.

---

In 1969, the band released their first album, self titled as ‘Chicago Transit Authority’, which was a double album. It made number 17 on the billboard 200, and had sold over 1 million copies by 1970, being awarded with a platinum disc. Singles from the album included “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?”, “Beginnings”, “Questions 67 and 68”, and “I’m a Man”. That same year, they were awarded with the ‘Best New Artist of The Year’ from the Grammys.

In 1970, the band released their second album, technically also self titled, known as ‘Chicago’. The album has since become referred to as ‘Chicago II’. The second album was also a double album, and went straight to the top ten in its second week on the Billboard chart, before its single had even gotten to the Hot 100. Singles from the album include ‘Make Me Smile’, which Terry sung on, and the titular ‘25 or 6 to 4’. The album quickly went gold, then eventually platinum.

On January 11th, 1971, Chicago released their third album, ‘Chicago III’, which was yet another double album. The band was described as ‘fatigued and road-weary’ by Danny Seraphine, when they went in the studio to record. The album sold well on its release, going gold only a month later. Singles from this album include “Free” and “Lowdown”. Terry is credited as having written the songs “I Don’t Want Your Money”, and “An Hour in The Shower”, and sang on the songs “Loneliness is Just a Word”, “Free”, and of course “An Hour in The Shower”.

On July 10th, 1972, the band released their first single release album, “Chicago V”. It was their fourth studio album, which featured singles “Saturday in the Park”, and “Dialogue (Part I & II)”. The album is considered a ‘back to basics’ type album, with it resembling their first album more. Terry is credited with having written the song “Alma Mater”, which he also sung. Terry also sang on the songs “Now that You’ve Gone’, and the dialogues.

The album was recorded at Caribou Ranch, a studio built by James Guerico that same year, in Colorado. It was on the road that lead to the ghost town of Caribou, CO. Chicago would record their next four records here. Terry loved Caribou Ranch it was an hour out of Denver, 8,600 feet above sea level. The studio burned down in a fire in March of 1985.

On June 25th, 1973, Chicago released ‘Chicago VI’, another single release album. It was certified gold less than month after release, and has been certified platinum twice. Terry wrote and song both songs “Jenny” and “Beyond All Our Sorrow”, which was only included on the 2002 reissue as a demo. He is credited for also singing on the song “Something in This City Changes People”.

Also in 1973, Terry played lead guitar and sang the lead vocals on the closing song “Tell Me” for the 1973 drama movie ‘Electra Glide in Blue’. The song was also used on the final episode of tv series ‘Miami Vice’. Members of Chicago also appeared in the Electra Glide movie.

Chicago released their sixth album, “Chicago VII” on March 11th, 1974. It was their first double album since 1971 and incorporated more jazz instrumentals. This incited various reactions from their audience, though the band enjoyed the experience. Peter Cetera and their producer James Guercio were wary of the commerical risk of the jazz sessions. The band was relatively divided on the jazz material, with some feeling that it was too good to throw away, though other wanted to incorporate more pop and rock material. Singles from the album include “(I’ve Been) Searchin’ So Long”, “Call On Me”, and “Wishing You Were Here”. It is the only album for having writing contributions from all band members.

Terry is credited with having written “Song of the Evergreens”, and “Byblos” of which the latter he sung on. Terry also sang on the single “Wishing You Were Here”. The album went gold on March 18th1974, and platinum in 1986.

On March 24th, 1975, Chicago released their seventh studio album, “Chicago VIII”. After five straight years of constant activity, the band was feeling drained when they went to record the album in the summer of 1974. The album was recorded within the timespan of only August through September of 1974. The album went with a more rock sound, and included the singles “Harry Truman”, “Old Days”, and “Brand New Love Affair”. The inside of the original album included an iron on t shirt decal of the album cover, and a poster of the and in station wagon being pulled over by police.

Terry is credited with having written the songs “Till We Meet Again”, “Oh Thank You Great Spirit”, and “Sixth Sense”, which the latter was only released on the Rhino Box Set Bonus Tracks in 2002. Terry sang on “Brand New Love Affair”, “Till We Meet Again”, “Oh Thank You Great Spirit”, and “Aint It Blue?”.

Despite being rated 2 stars out of 5 by Allmusic, the average fan rating of the album in 3.5 stars. It also peaked at number 1 on the Billboard 200.

On June 14th, 1976. Chicago released their eighth studio album, “Chicago X”. It was their eight studio album though their tenth overall including live and compilation albums. It was ceritified gold a week after release, and made number 3 on the Billboard 200. On September 14th, 1976, the album was certified multi platinum. In honor of this, the band was awarded a 25 pound bar of pure platinum, made by Cartier, a French jewelery manufacturing company. The album was nominated for a Grammy for ‘Album of the Year’, to which it won.

Singles include “Another Rainy Day in New York City”, “You Are on My Mind”, and “If You Leave Me Now”, which was the band’s first number one single. The song went on to win two Grammys. The song was almost left off the album, after being completed last, and Terry himself wasn’t too big on the song either. Terry didn’t like the increased emphasis on ballads on the album.

Some members of the band felt that the single changed the public perception of the band, leading Columbia Records demanding mor ballads from the band. Robert Lamm and Terry Kath were most notibly uncomfortable with this change of events.

Terry is credited with having written “Once or Twice”, and “Hope For Love”, having sang both of these songs.

The band released “Chicago XI”, their ninth studio album, on September 12th, 1977. It would be last album to have Terry Kath on it, and James Guercio as producer. Singles from this album include “Baby, What a Big Surprise”, “Little One”, and “Take Me Back to Chicago”.

Terry had a self admitted history of drug and alcohol abuse. Danny Seraphine knew that Terry had a high tolerance for drugs, and reclled Terry telling him, “I’m going to get things under control... if I don’t, this stuff is going to kill me.”.

Fellow bandmates of Chicago have indicated that Terry was growing increasingly unhappy, though Pankow denies that Kath was suicidal. Pankow remembered in the liner notes of Chicago Box:

“His relationship was not going well. He was also certainly more dependent on chemicals than he should have been. He wasn’t addicted to anything, but he was abusing drugs. We were all doing drugs at that stage of the game. But if you’re incredibly unhappy and depressed and doing the drugs on top of that, it compounds the situation.”

The night before Terry died, he visited bandmate Laudir de Oliveira, who offered him tea, and the two spent all night talking. Producer James Guercio insisted that Terry was finishing writing a solo album.

By 1978, Terry was regularly carrying guns around and enjoyed target shooting. On January 23rd, after a party at the home of band tech Don Johnson, Terry began to play with his guns. He spun his .38 revolver on his finger, put it to his temple, and pulled it to the trigger. The gun at this point wasn’t loaded.Initially, there was a sigh of relief. Johnson warned Terry several times to be careful. Kath then picked up a semi automatic 9mm pistol and while leaning back in a chair said to Johnson, “Don’t worry about it... look, the clip is not even in it.”. Terry’s last words were, “What do you think I’m gonna do? Blow my brains out?”. Terry then showed the empty mag. He replaced the mag in the gun, and put it to his temple, pulling the trigger. Unknown to him, there was a round in the chamber, and the shot killed him instantly. It was 8 days before his 32nd birthday.

He left behind his 20 month old daughter Michelle, and girlfriend Camelia Emily Ortiz.

Terry is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Parkm in Los Angeles California. He was 31.

In 1982 his mother passed away, and his father passed away in 2003. Both of his parents are interred next to him.

When Terry passed away, the surviving members of Chicago were utterly devastated, and thought about ending the band. Ultimately, they continued on, and he was initially replaced with Donnie Dacus on their next album ‘Hot Streets’, which was released in 1980. This album explored more disco themes, had the singles ‘Alive Again’, ‘No Tell Lover’, and ‘Gone Long Gone’.

It was their first album to feature the band members on the cover, and have a title that wasn’t the band name, something that wouldn’t happen again until 1991.

In 2016, Terry’s daughter Michelle released a documentary that talked about and was in tribute to her father. The movie, “Chicago: The Terry Kath Experience” is available to watch for free on amazon. She stated that the idea came to her many years ago, when she realized that the didn’t know his full story. The movie features interviews with people like Joe Walsh, Mike Campbell, and Dan DeLeo.
