Emotions with Prog and... Women!

I think Prog is more like an old and dear friend, you get a certain something from them you don't get from others and you feel comfortable with and stimulated by them, always loyal and only disappointing occasionally.

  

The problem with the " What if....." scenario is it is upon reflection. You can never compare your experience to prog music to being with a good companion or even worse off either way due to spending too much time with one and not the other! The important thing is stay loyal to both, fiercely protective and enjoy the now cos you can't bank the past

I keep reading this over and over ..  interesting ..  funny thing is my last partner left me due to my interest in prog over her if only she had worn that Rush T shirt I asked her to put on. 

Well, nice blog though I didn't understand the complete message you were trying to pass us through, anyways my thoughtsare much like "Atavachron" thoughts, prog is your loyal friend who gives you pleasent and touchy times..

Well this will probably be of no help but my wife and I have a very strong bond yet we share very little overlap in musical tastes.  So as much of a music nut as I am and as much as she isn't it all works out. 

Andrea, I thought a lot about my post last night and was worried I was trying to come across as some type of expert, which I am certainly not.  Once you think you know it all, you are doomed so you have to always be willing to learn and roll with the punches. 

I lived with a woman for three years prior to marrying someone else and when I look back on that, I realize how totally devoid of any knowledge about women that I was.  She left me because I had become a jerk.  Of course after she goes, that's when I decide to be a man and I asked her to marry me, which she declined.  I was pretty broken up but now I know it was for the best for both of us.  I wish her only the best because she deserved a better man than what I was then.

I believe you will have happiness in your future.  After all, you are Mandrakeroot!

Interesting artice, enjoyed it.
Well I think it is somehow connceted very much, these two essences of life, music is there to remind me some experiences in life, feelings especially about girls, and makes it all more intense. In progressive music I percieve a lot of depth, emotions, kind of intelligence, that I usually don't find much in other styles (though there are many exceptions, of course), especially in most of mainstream.
I can't go to disco and find girl there, because can't accept this, to me very superficial music and lifestyle as a whole, that is disgusting. Guess that someone who love music in that way I do, usually doesn't search for woman who is shallow, follows the fashion, trends  etc. (I find most of girls like that unfortunately, I'm still surrounded by this life as university student).
Speaking for myself, concerning mentality of girl, I have always difficult and complicated time to find similar soul in her, I much insist on that sort of similar qualities like in music (man who can enjoy and like mainstream music played on discos, usually don't have problem to enjoy more shallow women that I really can't stand).
So... it may give no sense what i've written:), but still there is surely something about it.:)
