Possibly will be moved to JFF but since that's in 'Topics not related to music' I try here first.
- goes to a ‘new Pink Floyd’ concert wearing a Roger Waters T-shirt - meets Rick Wakeman and asks him to sign a copy of Union - goes to a Transatlantic The Whirlwind tour concert and just before the show starts buys one drink at the bar confident that it will last until the next break between songs - is invited to Neal Morse’s birthday party and buys him as present a Richard Dawkins T-shirt - is asked to move Terry Bozzio’s drum kit to a concert venue and he shows up with a mini-van |

Have I missed something here? I thought Eeən was still playing the flute, like he did last year on Thick as a Brick 2.Oh, wait, maybe that’s why it’s a stupid question. |

My bad, I wanted to write "Jon Anderson"! Damn, the joke is lost! Anyway, another one: The dumb progger is listening to Henry Cow while checking the booklet and ends asking :"But which one is Henry???" |

Hears that there's a TV show with a bald celebrity called Dr. Phil and sends a letter asking him how did he get the drumming of Apocalypse in 9/8

Yet you made the joke subtler, so it’s okay.  I’ve heard that Henry and Pink are old friends … Btw, two British friends of mine used to own a wine shop in London, and Ian Anderson was one of their regulars. They’ve also met Phil Collins, and believe it or not, they say that he’s a very nice chap. But please don’t ask him this question: Why don’t you play drums anymore? |

Haha. I wish I was in on the joke. But I didn't think they did anything together.

Indeed. It was a joke about a possible confusion between Fripp and Frith (trust me, I've heard and read that some people made this mistake!) |

And you could always congratulate Fred Frith on his excellent work with Van der Graaf Generator, Peter Gabriel and David Bowie.

Thinks Ian Anderson is called Jethro Tull.
Thinks Phil Collins' voice really changed since Dancing With the Moonlit Knight |
