Late 50's myself. I heard most of the classic stuff discussed here back when it was new or shortly after. Too bad we didn't have the internet back then. Had to rely on music magazines to get any real info about bands back then. Hung out around record stores (the really cool ones!) a lot too. Now I can get all that and much more just by sitting in front of a computer. I am surprised and encouraged to see the number of youngsters here. With their support, Prog will live on!

So in a way, you've grown up with PA.

Through moving out of home, post secondary school, starting my career, joining the International Cinematographer's Guild, several relationships, the beginning and ending of a substance abuse problem and a MtF transition. Yup. I'd say so

Especially the underlined section.
BTW - yoghurt exotic? Nah! If you wanted exotic food, it was a dried Vesta Curry

It was also the time of itchy wool stockings, black and white television and no pop music on the radio/tv. Everybody did have a coffee table though (it wouldn't surprise me if that should turn out to be a Swedish invention actually).

God, you are out of touch with Rush aren't you - Geddy stopped doing that many years ago - if he tried to sing 'Closer To The Heart' in its original register these days, the poor man'd give himself a hernia
