I don't knopw about that though i''ve heard the same thing........ though you have to consider the fact that while a lot of the classic rockers are dying or already dead....... the number is very minute in the prog world!!!!

I'm pretty sure Yes smoked pot. I remember during their 35th anniversary tour, before Long Distance Runaround, Jon was fooling around on the guitar while talking, and started singing LDR, but changed the lyrics to some pot smoking reference... much to the delight of the Yes crowd!

Yes were clean???? Come on...I've heard Squire talk about the drug culture of the band, and let's face it, Jon's been doing coke so long, you could grind him up and snort him and get high. Don't know about Tull, but I'm sure KC tripped the light fantastic quite a few times.

I'm sure Tull did not take drugs. Anderson announced at the 1970 Isle of Wight festival something along the lines of "Tear down the fence, score some pot," mocking the hippy culture. I'm sure Yes took drugs. I've read interviews with Jon Anderson about how they smoked pot all the time. Don't know about KC. Frank Zappa didn't take drugs either.
Does anyone know about Genesis and ELP?

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

It's calling my attention that prog bands don't usually take drugs, is
that true? The only time i heard something like that was when Fish said
that Misplaced Childhood's story was created in an "acid treep"

Are drugs less common in prog?
But I'm 100000000% percent sure that Yes, King Crimson and Jethro Tull were big acid treepers!
