Kansas is an American rock band that formed in 1973 in Topeka, Kansas, and became popular during the decade initially on album-oriented rock charts and later with hit singles such as "Carry On Wayward Son" and "Dust in the Wind." The band has produced nine gold albums, three multi-platinum albums (Leftoverture 4×, Point of Know Return 4×, and The Best of Kansas 4×), one other platinum studio album (Monolith), one platinum live double album (Two for the Show), and a million-selling single, "Dust in the Wind." Kansas appeared on the US Billboard charts for over 200 weeks throughout the 1970s and 1980s and played to sold-out arenas and stadiums throughout North America, Europe and Japan. "Carry On Wayward Son" was the second-most-played track on US classic rock radio in 1995 and No. 1 in 1997.

Studio characters
“Kansas law puts transgender people in an impossible position. For transgender people, using the restroom consistent with their gender and how they live their lives, is now against the law in government buildings. But using the restroom consistent with their sex at birth in government buildings may out them as transgender and be unsafe. Either way, transgender people may be punished and harassed.”
“The "Imperfect Rectangle" has waged an epic struggle and is still doing so, on a more modest scale, over the issue of liquour by the drink. Prohibition is but the historical phase of the continuing effort to achieve an effective and acceptable public policy to control alcohol abuse.”
“Few Americans know how savagely the Civil War raged or how strange and varied were its issues in what is now Oklahoma and the neighboring states of Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas. Rifles for Watie was faithfully written against the historical backdrop of the conflict in this seldom-publicized, Far-Western theater.”
“Kansas, however whittled down, was still a giant in size and potential productivity. Conceived in cold calculation, born in a rending hatred, she was to be baptized in blood. It was not a christening. It was a deep-river baptism.”
“Land Speculators and One Horse politicians. Blood and thunder, drouth and exploitation. Certainly no new state ever chose a more fitting motto than did young Kansas. Ad Astra per Aspera. It had been and would always be 'To the stars by hard ways.”
“I grew up in Kansas, General. I'm about as American as it gets.”
