Seems like there are a lot of appearances of jesters and clowns in European prog. What are your thoughts? Any reason for why this might be? |

Well, I have to say that I'm only familiar with Marillion's "Script for a Jesters Tear", but some quite interesting other answers so far. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

| The themes of jesters and clowns have now virtually become a cliche. Any prog parody nowadays will surely feature a jester, as have some quite awful prog bands. Bit like the 60’s fixation with songs about gypsies representing free spirits….. |

| It's appropriate that Svetonio - by way of his three sock puppet accounts - is heavily involved in a thread about clowns. Narcissistic racists like him, however, are not amusing enough to even rise to the level of jester. |

"I told him, 'Look,' I said, 'I'm not the way you're thinking.' 'Just when I'm down, I'll be the clown, I'll play the fool.'" -from "Asylum", by Supertramp (Crime of the Century).

What the hell is going on here? :| This thread is acting like some sort of magnet to suspicious newly signed up users. Surely you jest? I think somebody is trying to play us for a clown. ------------- “On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became.” — Ernest Vong |

Svetonio, a manchild troll extraordinaire and repeat offender, used several sock puppet accounts to post Chat GPT-initiated responses and to "Thank" and upvote each of his doppelgangers' posts. The mods deleted his accounts and posts, thus making this thread look barren.
