I think they have their best chance in JR/F, since BST and Chicago both reside there.  I hear a little prog in there though not a lot, so it could go either way I think.   BST and Chicago are themselves borderline cases in my opinion, essentially pop bands with varying degrees of prog rock inclinations (more on the early stuff, naturally).  Plus they started earlier (late 60s) and were internationally known, which adds to their "importance" in music history (whether or not that matters to you or me personally).  So the argument  that "they sound like these bands, and these bands are in PA, so therefore my band should be in PA" usually does not go too far (though it does cause controversy and accusations of unfairness etc).  But if it catches the JR/F team in the right mood, I think they may go for it.

What's a shred broadcast session?

Thers only one Tom Morello who would be allowed to play with Primus and he is that one, the RAtM one

There's a Tom Morello who played guitar on the Primus album Antipop from '99. Don't know if that's the Tom Morello you're talking about or whether Primus counts as prog or not.

But do hot chicks mind about you?

That's what I thought.

I wonder if Satan likes deviled eggs.

I wouldn't mind hot chicks if you know what I mean
