I'm not so sure that Hogarth is entirely correct. I went to see The Church recently and the audience was about 25% women, maybe more. Same at the last Yes concert I attended. Same with Floyd.

However, if Hogarth is correct in any way, and men take to prog more than women, it may not be a matter of "smarter," but rather that women tend to be more in touch with "emotion" while men tend to be more "intellectual" - overall. Thus, music like prog - which has its "emotional" side but is still largely "intellectual" is nature - will necessarily appeal more to men, while women will be more drawn to music that has a more prevalent "emotional" value.

Peace.

you must know that "if you got" was intented. it's more American English that i'm closer to.

that, my young polish friend, is nothing to be proud of....

and i'm proud of... i have seen how your countrymen wrote "things i didn't said" so it's real shame not that me Polish guy does some 'lil mistakes.

I'll leave it to Mike to correct the spelling mistake in that one!

"don't be so pedantic" (guess who said that?) besides i wonder how many foreign languages you know.

I'm starting to feel short changed....can I have my money back?

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

I won't bother to change it, because it will undoubtedly spark another error-prone response.

my English is better than yours. once i was on Beatles forum and i even won competition for the best Beatles related poem, so you're wrong about my English. yours is not better.

So how come you made two grammar mistakes in that little post of yours?

so where are the mistakes?

You don't seem to know articles. But anyway, this subject isn't really relevant...

where are those mistakes dammit? tell me what i have spelled wrong.

"Once I was on Beatles forum" .. That's one mistake right there. Where's the a ? And the another one is "I even won competition" , same thing with that.

You could also mention the lack of capital letters at the start of sentences.

Steve Hogarth of Marillion has been asking fans to take their girlfriends to concerts as he was tired of seeing just men. Why is it that prog appeals more to men than women?

What makes Hogarth think that Marillion fans have girlfriends?

...this one certainly hasn't...he got dumped last night...

If Steve Hogarth wants chicks at his gigs he knows what he has to do. Have a hit single with a love song. It's what Genesis did with 'Follow You Follow Me' and after that they had to beat them off with a sh!tty stick, especially Banks!!

If my memory serves me right, they attracted a substantial (although albeit brief) female following after they released 'Cover My Eyes', 'No-one Can' and 'Dry Land' as singles off Holidays...so you are absolutely right...not only does he know what to do, he has also done it before...(saints preserve us...)

hahahahhaha is that all? man i'm too lazy to put every single letter in sentence. but seriously i know i should put that a but it's nothing drasticly incorrect. bugger it.... let's better don't fight abou it.

I was only proving a point. You said you're English is as good as mine. A mistake is a mistake.

But as I said, it's irrelevant..

you're lucky that i'm lazy cos i'd check out your posts in search for mistakes. i'm sure i'd find couple. but let's not talk about it cos it becomes more and more pathetic.
