Thought it was the opposite: the older you get, the more pissed off and annoyed you are. Looking at my uncles (all 70+) that seem quite true since it looks to me that they have only one thing in mind...War! jealously, resentment and fighting each other taking much of their time. Hope I won't be like them. 'Old man what the hell you gonna kill next, old timer who you gonna kill next'  edit: thinking of it, they are rather zen now since they don't really talk to each other anymore...it was far worse when they were in their sixties.

 I saw Yes and the Eagles together in Richmond, Virginia. Not really sure if the notion of prog rock existed at the time. To tell the truth I am not even sure of the year.

I saw that tour, Sept 22, 1972....CTTE tour. It was amazing! And no, there was not a single person who called Yes "prog rock" back then. Art rock, theater rock etc.

I think the punks invented the term "prog rock" in the late seventies. The term progressive rock was definitely used by 72 but nobody seemed to have abreviated it until later. I think the punks were using it as a sort of pejorative though.

Can't imagine this to be true. I mean, I don't have any better information, but as far as my experience with English language and its native speakers goes, no way can people say "progressive" through 5+ years without making "prog" of it!

Good thing you are not smart enough to even comment on any part of the posting that makes sense ... it just shows how much you have heard over the years, and how much experience you have not attained ... to the point that all you can say is that someone is this and that ... and you forgot to look at the mirror. I love and respect the music, and still have a very large collection. I appreciate its artistry ... and all you have is a sanctimonious comment about nothing ... I'm not important ... the music and its content IS. And you changing the subject to me, is pathetic! And an insult to "progressive" music and this forum.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Can we stick to music and our experiences of it?
