Progressive-Rock

Fans Are Terrible

Trash-Talkers. 

BY WAYNE GLADSTONE

"Hey, buddy, what does your continued existence have in common with the
trees in Rush's 'The Trees'? Neither should be taken literally." 

"OK, dude. You beating the crap out of me is like Peter Gabriel doing
another album with Genesis: everyone keeps talking about it, but it's
never gonna happen." 

"When I'm done with you, you won't be able to keep track of whether it
was Bruford or White that played drums on 'Heart of the Sunrise.'" 

"You're gonna need so many transfusions that only King Crimson will have
benefited more by the influx of new blood. Seriously, don't you think it
was like a whole new band when Adrian Belew joined?" 

"Your ass-kicking is gonna be just like 'Karn Evil 9': loud, fast, and
perfected in one take ... except it won't go on for 29 minutes and 37
seconds, as it did in the original release." 

"Don't be alarmed by the bustle in your hedgerow, Cochise. That's just a
spring clean for the May queen!" 

"Kickin' your ass is gonna be a lot easier than the guitar part in
'YYZ.' No joke, some of that shit's in, like, 10/8. Man, Alex Lifeson is
underrated." 

"Get ready to look like the lead singer of Marillion. When you walk down
the street, very few people will be able to recognize you."

Please  explain Mike, I think I like music, all sorts,  there is music
that I like that is timeless, eg  Bach Beethoven, Elgar, Chopin,
Scarlatti, Byrd, Gibbons, Mozart, Handel, Corelli, and music that is
ephemeral  eg  Genesis, Richard Thompson, King Crimson, Nick Drake,
Sandy Denny, Colosseum, Barclay James Harvest, Maestoso, Syd Barett,
Anne  Briggs. It's not serious but music of my time and still speaks to
me.

So what leads you to say that I don't like music?


Cheers

Mark

	None. You obviously hate music.

		I have learnt to like Genesis, "Foxtrot" and "Nursery
Crime" in particular, I am even quite fond of Supper's Ready and if I
had to choose between being stuck in a lift listening to it or Lizard, I
would choose the former. I didn't care for "Selling Engand by the Pound"
and I am not interested in anything post Peter Gabriel, so are there any
other albums I might like?
