What if violins and epic seven-minute prog suites could break into rock’s mainstream-arena status and sell millions? Six Topeka kids conquered America while critics scoffed. Then one man had a spiritual revival and refused to compromise. His salvation became their destruction. Fifteen million albums couldn't hold a brotherhood together when faith collided with fame. Decades later, they still won't share a stage. This is how Kansas became legends by never bending—then shattered because no one would bend.
