I went into Boston Pizza (pretty big chain in Canada) tonight to hear Lost by Van Der Graaf Generator... followed up by Lady Fantasy, Red Barchetta, Nine-Feet Underground, Starship Trooper and Ashes Are Burning. I guess they were just listening to a Stingray channel; must have been the prog hour because they were playing that "Give me the beat boys" song as I left.

Today while waiting in the doctor's office there was a tv show on that was playing "hocus pocus" by Focus.

There was a seller at the local flea market wearing a Yessongs tee (no, he wasn't selling vinyl) so I walked up to him and he passed the "NAME THREE SONGS BY THAT BAND ON YOUR SHIRT" test.
Not so much for the girl in the Misfits tee or her boyfriend (with the Joy Division shirt) in the adjacent booth. That's me. Keeping people honest since 1962.

I was just watching a bit of Battlebots and they showed a guy in the audience wearing a shirt with Crimson King faces all over it. This was an unusual shirt since it wasn't just one face but many faces on it (they only showed it for about a second though).

A large portion of Spock's Beard's 'June' was in the Danish TV documentary series 'Anne og Anders i Europa (Cyprus)'

One of the movies available to watch on United Airlines flight from Newark NJ to Barcelona Spain was one hour documentary called "ELP on tour 1973". Btw great documentary, totally unexpected surprise and highlight of my entire flight.

Not the music, per se, but another definition of it, that I didn't know. It came via the book I'm reading, "Horse," by Geraldine Brooks, about a great racehorse, Lexington, his skeleton, and a painting of him. One of the principals, an art historian, mentions that his signature for some articles is "Prog," which is a term for a vagabond (or the food one obtains from foraging or begging, which I've since found). New word! I'm sure I'll see it around a lot now.

While at the grocery store today I saw a young guy (probably in his 20s) wearing a Hawkwind t shirt. He seemed to be with his dad (both buying alcohol apparently) who maybe got him into them.

A few weeks back, on BBC radio 4, on a radio 'Soap opera' called 'the Archers' (a tale of real country folk.. my arse) which my wife listens to had Toyah Wilcox (playing herself) and the story mentioned Robert Fripp and 'Toyah and Robert's Sunday lunch videos'... UK readers will get how weird this is..

Listen to the music in the background. ;)
Yes, I know it's been in commercials before but it's always cool to hear.

The Hans Zimmer Wonder Woman Theme song sounds to me like a variation of Rush’s Natural Science.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

British Actress Maxine Peake a Prog Rock fan, who knew.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5bStHMSmR8crbgmqYH4pfj9/seven-things-we-learned-from-maxine-peakes-desert-island-discs
"6. Maxine gives a Greek progressive rock band their first-ever play on Desert Island Discs “I've picked this,” says Maxine talking about her fourth musical selection, “because I love my prog rock. It's not always been cool to like prog rock!” The track is The Four Horsemen by Aphrodite’s Child, who formed in Greece in 1967, and released this song in 1972, on their concept album 666." |

Last night during the Red Hot Chilipeppers segement on 60 minutes the lead singer Anthony Kiedis mentioned "crazy progressive rock" as one of their influences.
 I'm not sure who he had in mind though. Maybe King Crimson or the Mars Volta?

^Cool interview. The Peppers first album was 1984. So it's not Mars Volta he was referring to. Maybe Rush?
