A ten year old who compares ELP to My Dinner with Andre and uses the word "galore"? I call bullsh*t.

No 10 year-old kid in the history of cinema has sat through a viewing of My Dinner with Andre', let alone would mention a 1981 film consisting of all dialogue and utterly no action in a normal conversation. This is just the writer being a snarky assh*le.

...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

When I was 10 I was busy eating lead paint chips.

It does sound like a lame April Fools joke...and if not then him and his kid are effing idiots....but then opinions are like a****les....everyone has one.

More and more, what you are seeing and reading is some form of history by folks that "were there", which is a bit different than the silly/bad comments by a 10 yr old, which, of course, was an April Fools' jokes that is as funny as a brick hitting you in the head and falling off into the deep ocean! Hooray for SNL and some really bad/stupid jokes that are not even funny! Surrealistic maybe, but not funny!

Unfortunately, that was likely written by someone that really has no knowledge whatsoever about music, and has never sat down and played it in the first place. Besides, they are brain-washed by that pulsing rap beating, to even know what music is really all about ... I would probably lock up my kid listening to 10 different things 3 times a day for 10 days ... and if at the end of that they still say the stupid things they did, then I will reconsider! But, I doubt it ... I've seen this done, even with autistic kids (UCSB study in the 80's), and the results were totally different than we thought, considered, or even projected ... the joke was on us!

I do not, write about my ideas, since they would drive some folks totally nuts here, specially with my experience in improvisation, that too many musicians dislike, but I have had success with them in music before, and hopefully will again. In theater/film it's not an issue, since most actors are always looking for that little bit "extra" to add to their characters, and thus something like an improvisation could help loosen up some bits and pieces and ends.

Music, however, in the time of the DAW, has gotten so rigid, and so many folks tied up to its cardboard perfection, that they do not understand or care to find out what another side, or point of view is all about.

You see, in my book, it's about brain-washing for the good of the great commercial top ten in the sky, so they get the sale and you pay for it. The rest, prog or bunnyhop, will always be considered bad, trash, and made fun of in a lot of articles. Maybe it's time people start making fun of TS and KP, or KK ... and see what happens ... we would be interfering with their millions collection, just like someone else trumped up others!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

His comments are explicit and quite funny. The lad cannot be blamed for undergoing a bad upbringing.

This is what is dad writes about the album:

"My personal opinion is that it’s nearly unlistenable, and I cannot believe that anyone can sit

through all 41 minutes of it in a row without the aid of hard drugs."

And for the record, I don't agree with the youngster's review. I like most of the album, except for "Take a Pebble". Maybe the lad thought the title was "Take a Piddle"?

Take a Pebble is my favourite of that album. I just absolutely love what Emerson does with the piano and organ all over the track. Quite the opposite tastes we have.
