Yes. No, not Manfred Mann. This is pretty weird, but Bob died the same year.

Is his head made of wood?
If so, then it just HAS to be Mike Mercury. (NAnd not Dr. Prawn).

I thought it went without saying, but only one question at a time. Still all my answers are no.

Its a living HE.
"Mercury" is somehow prog-related in this instance.
"Mercury" is not part of his name nor in the title of any of his output.
It cannot have anything to do with Hermes, since that's not a living "he".
I cannot think of any synonyms for "mercury". (Other than "hot-headed" for "mercuric")
I give-up.
Not Peter Hammill ?

Why not? I’ve saved this for quite a while because it could be too obvious. Mercury Records, Fie! – and Robert Jemison Van de Graaf died the same year that Peter & co formed the band. Well done, Knobby! Your go!

Legend? That must mean that he’s deceased, right?
OK, did he die before 1800?
