Test your creativity

The year is 2112. The tyrannical government of the United States of McDonalds has concluded that Progressive Rock is detrimental to the sale of McNuggets, and must be made illegal as of 2113. Now, since it is the future, you can raise five prog rock musicians from the dead. For whatever reason, you're only able to raise Keith Emerson, Steve Howe, Geddy Lee, Phil Collins, and Fish. You happened to be the one politician who protested the bannage of prog. As a consolation, McWorld is letting you have your resurrected prog musicians perform one prog epic for the whole world, under the conditions that you write the epic. Now, what would you name the epic, what would its various parts be named, and how long would each part be?

Well that explains his stupid grin anyway.

In that case it would be a vengeance:

Epic: Hamburger Concerto II:

1. Rat Meat 5:10
2. Cholesterol 6:00
3. Heart Attack 0:15 (a 15 seconds scream)
4. Fat Kids Die Young 5:00
5. Stupid Clown Bring back my Music 7:00 (Not talking about Velvet of course)

Hmm... sounds like Yes, come to think of it.

It would never work:

Keith Emerson: monstrous ego would get in the way by insisting that all parts of the 12-hours song had to be a piano concerto (without the concerto bit).

Steve Howe: would be so frail that his first attempt to lift his Gibson ES175 would result in both his arms snapping off.

Geddy Lee: would get into a fight with Fish over lead vocal duties, be brained by Emerson for having the temerity to suggest that the Rush-alumnus be allowed a four-note Moog solo somewhere in the piece.

Fish: would just get drunk and offer to fight everybody, including the audience.

and Phil Collins: well Phil would immediately sell his services to McDonalds as part of a global advertising campaign suggesting that all music is evil - with him as evidence.

The public would go crazy, the government would
declare a military state and Ronald McDonald would
be taken hostage until PROG was reinstated.
Ronald would be forced to have his McNuggets lifted
for the criminal offense.
