The Curse of Yes

Evolver wrote: Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Tony Kaye, Peter Banks, Bill Bruford, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, Alan White, Patrick Moraz, Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes, Trevor Rabin, Billy Sherwood, Igor Khoroshev. All members of Yes at one time or another. What else do they have in common? They are all still alive!!! It's spooky. Over 30 years, and none have died! Yes has the curse of the living.  Anyone who plays for them is destined to live forever. I wonder if Tony Levin is affected?

All the guys who did the ELP album covers died soon afterwards, so it was said they had the curse of death. Maybe that's why they went to covers with no design.

All the Yes members are Male, White, Christian, Europeans, no, and they all like pancakes with apple sauce.

There are also some plans for a reunion of the original members of Asia. Their official website says that (as Downes and Payne had split), but Palmer says that he is busy with his own band and that he doesn`t know when they are going to reunite (he said that in ELP`s official website).

So, if Howe is with Asia by the end of the year... maybe Trevor Rabin could rejoin YES, who knows?

As I said to the orthopedic shoe salesman, "I stand corrected."

Damn. There goes my prize.
