sex and prog

mirco:

I'm a liberal fundamentalist!

I love that phrase 'cause it drives most of my colleagues nuts!

Actually, I have quite a sordid past (): I was a real hippie (late 60s/early 70s), a major socio-political activist (civil rights, anti-Vietnam, anti-nuke, anti-fur, etc.), and even a drug dealer at one point (thank God for statutes of limitation!).  I only became a Christian later (in my mid-20s) and did not become a minister until about three years ago (in my mid-40s).  So "my past is behind me."  And although I am not proud of some of it, neither am I ashamed.  It is simply the past.

[Note: I offer this strictly for info purposes, and not to take the discussion "off topic."]

Peace.

Peace.

Hey, Maani, don't take me as a bigot, but what kind of minister are you, besides of a very cool one? Just curious, not jugdamental...

Excellent one, Jim!

Fabulous new avatar!

As weird as it can sound Anglagard seems to be the stuff that excites my girlfriend but I skip the opening track on the Hybris album - too violent. I can put out ITCOTCK and skip 21st and Moonchild (I did a special CD-R) and when she wants to start something , she gives me a hint by putting on Days of Future Past.

i made love for the first time while listening to porcupine tree...   the song trains is for me the best love-making song  i love love

Do you still contact these people from time to time, 3 fates?
... Greg and Dave and whatnot?

I've been asked to do that a couple of times.. not just by friends, but people in the industry as well, because there was a lot more than just ELP in my life back then. I have friends that would very much like me to write about the NYC underground scene in the 70s.. and Max's kansas City and Andy Warhol's Factory.. that was part of my life back then.  But there is a ton of groupie books out there...and most of them bored even me.  I think the reason why I don't want to do it.. is because you just can't write about the good times or the fun times. If you're going to do it, you have to write about it all.  And there was a lot that happened that I'm not willing to look that closely at myself, much less put my family or them or their families thru it also.

Its just better to remember the good stuff..

So true.. speed was an Emerson thing.. never a Lake thing...

I'd take 1973 Dave Gilmour on those 9 seconds.
And give him a hand massage.

Threefates!

It seems to me Epitaph is a very good sex song. from 03:50 to 03:59 of it anyways.
