Back in those initial days - '94/'95? - often heavy-hitters were posting. Moroni used to post at rec.prog. |
The heaviest hitter I remember posting from those days was in Toby Howard's "Elephant Talk" Crimso email digest. For a few weeks people had been ripping on Belew as being a bad fit for the band; they didn't like his vocals, lyrics, guitar playing etc... One day readers were treated to a long and scathing response from AB himself. I don't recall all his words but it was along the lines of, "If you can play guitar in 25/4 while singing band approved words you've written in 7/8 in front of 10,000+ screaming fans the last 25 out of 30 days while getting along with RF and BB 24/7, then you can have my job!"
What was even better was when the next Crimso album opened with "ProzaKc Blues" and AB sang:
"Well I woke up this morning in a cloud of despair. I ran my hand across my head pulled out a pile of worried hair. I went to my physician who was buried in his thoughts, he said, "Son, you been reading too much Elephant Talk!"
