Kansas

Wow, I think that's a new stretch for a non-fan - J Geils, that's a pretty strong statement!

Anyway, you'll find here that everyone most decidedly does not like Kansas.  It's just that on those occasions when the subject comes up, those few of us who do all jump on the bandwagon.  Kansas may have a lot of detractors, but most of their fans are almost rabidly loyal and enthusiastic.  Thanks for reading the thread anyway.

Yeah, Sony postponed the project becasue of the Payola scam and the 10 million dollars it cost them to settle that.  They have not given a release date as of yet just 2006.  Hopefully it will be in the first quarter of 2006.  They also stopped the remaster of Kerry Liivgrens Seeds of Change.  That disk was supposed to include Kansas doing Mask of the Great Deceiver live.

I hate that f*&#^_g song!!!!!  Nothing really wrong with Mask of the Great Deceiver, but ever since I bought that damn album in my first year of college (that's 1980 for our younger friends), every time I hear anything from AD, Livgren solo, Monolith, or even Rainbow (I think it has something to do with the Ronnie James Dio connection), I get that damn song in my head and it won't go away for days.  Madness!! And after 25 years it's still there!!

Anyway, I can't believe there's enough demand to remaster Seeds of Change.  That's awesome.  Capitalizing on the Proto-Kaw thing I guess.  BTW, I think How Can You Live is probably the best song on that album - it could have easily made it onto Audio-Visions except that Barriemore Barlow's drums don't sound as crisp to me as Ehart's do.
