One fine day, in the late '60's / early '70's a prehistoric sampler and an analog synth went out for a walk in a park. He saw her, and she fancied him. Mr. Moog and miss Mellotron married, and they got a child, and that child got a child, and that child got a child. The latter was being called Moogtron III, because he was the 3rd generation Moogtron.
And they all lived happily everafter...

This one is difficult for me.
I could say my nickname came from the beautiful song carpet crawler, where I totally dug in and under. But no....
I already have imagined and posted in the past that my nickname came from the event that I dragged Dream Theaters Subaru out of the mud, and they where shouting "Pull me Unde"!"and I shouted bag "You should make a song named like that". But no....
I could say my nickname is a rebelious one indicating pop is superfacial and prog is going deeper than that. But no...
I could say I am a great dictator with a big thumb putting everyone there....under. But no...
I could say I a just a grey mouse hiding and being put down under. But ...hope not...
The truth is it is just a preposition. But is it just a preposition? Or is it more than that and is it a challenging mystery what is behind this great word, which gives rise to emotions as darkness and sadness but also to relieve, escape and sacrificiation.
So much questions with a preposition and you, yourself, are in full control to create your sitaution around one.
Well, I almost covinced myself of the beauty of Under.

To discover the meaning of my nickname, you have to see the movie called "Payback", with Mel Gibson starring as the main character (see avatar).

question to Syzygy: does your name refer to the astronomical or the linguistic meaning of "syzygy"?

The linguistic meaning - I only became aware of the astronomical meaning after I joined this forum.

I once owned a 1000cc Moto Guzzi (italian motorbike) and my nickname is derived from that.

I'm a real history buff and into left-wing politics ... Leon Trotsky was a hero from the time I was 9 (see what happens when you put history books in the hands of little kids  )
