This was cool : not so much Prog in a public place per se, but out and about the other day I saw a regular customer (he works for the local council) wearing a DSOTM tee-shirt. Nothing special there. Anyway, he came in and did his shopping and asked me if we had something he was chasing, I said to him, since he likes DSOTM, I'd have a good look out the storeroom for him. Got what he wanted, then we started talking WYWH, but he insists that Dark Side is the best, since that was the first album he listened to stoned back in the day. I then mentioned Gabriel Genesis which he likes, ELP which he said were great, and Yes, which he could never get into !! I didn't want to start rambling on about Crimso or Camel in case he wasn't familiar..........

The guitarist gets a nice Fripp sound out of his axe!  Thanks, I hadn't heard of them either.  

Glass Hammer is from Tennessee, which is close....

Having worked in Kentucky, I can verify that it is not the most prog-music friendly environment!  
Bluegrass, baby.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Take prog out of that last sentence and it's still accurate.  We have to travel to Louisville, Cincinnati and Detroit to see good concerts. 
 
Garth  Brooks gave some concerts in Lexington last year. I did not attend.

I saw them with an audience of about 20 in a Denver music store...  They are pretty cool, very eclectic (many different styles), and quite humorous.

I know, neither is hard-core prog but for heaven's sake this is Kentucky, we'll take whatever crumbs fall from the table.
Have you had the opportunity to see French TV live

Now that's never happened to me before!  Sweet!  

The food still tastes like McDonald's, but at least the music is prog! 


Perhaps they should have played something from King Crimson's debut... Ian McDonald being a member of the band would only be fitting...

Or maybe Supper's Ready. Smile

Heh, this reminds me of a Pink Floyd-themed restaurant I thought up a couple of years ago, Hole in the Wall. The menu items would be:
Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast
Wings all the Night [all you can eat chicken wings]
Apples and Oranges
Gravy Strained Peas
Pigs on the Wings [chicken wings topped with bacon]
Pigs (Thee Different Ones)
Sheep
Mystery Meat and Pudding [can't be ordered separately]
Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Dessert
A Saucerful of Sweet Crêpes

And why shouldn't Soccer be called Football... Soccer is the one that is actually played with the feet, not what americans call football. Besides, Soccer is Football in the whole world, except for USA (and Canada?) (well,at least I think so, and if not then at least in the vast majority of the world).
