Squire, as CEO of YesCo, shows himself to be pretty heartless.  Unfortunately, he's not selling light bulbs, but artistic product to fans like us who care and remember.  

This sure isn't pretty to watch, is it?  I keep waiting for something new to develop....maybe Anderson, Wakeman and Rabin (long rumored).   Squackett is worth watching for, but I can't help but think that Squire will screw that up as well.  

I think you put the finger on something about Yes that caused me lose interest in them after 90210.  I still have some post albums and saw them live on the Union tour but the music just isn't that interesting anymore and maybe all the bullcrap is getting in the way.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Honestly,Anderson,Howe,Squire,Wakeman and White,
is what i remembered through the years!
They inspired many of my thoughts and will forever do so!!!
Some of my own music is geared after them.
Andersons main voice with Howes(a little off key)back up?
were perfect to me!!!And was tickeled pink when the synth came out,
and with the sound?Wakman was joyed,cause he could blow Howe,
off the stage if he wanted to!  lol
Yes i know other members came and went.
But still,it has to be someones wish that the name YES remains,
or it wouldnt! So putting all things beside? i belive its the 5 i mentioned!
keeping in mind they all really belived in their message to us!
But then im probably delusional,as some have said!   ....its my world and i prefer that!
Thanx 4 listining!!!



Squire owns the Yes name.  He is the reason they still tour (though obviously Howe and White are still wanting to join him).
