All: As a Christian minister, I find the man's views naive, unsound, and without merit - to say nothing of totally without basis in Scripture. In this regard, I am concerned that he is doing more harm than good vis-a-vis Christianity - which (just so there is no confusion) does not "condemn" any form of music. Yes, we try to be careful where blatant satanic "worship" etc. is concerned, and I would steer people away from that. However, this man clearly has little or no true understanding of Scripture, or how to apply it. As a minister, I can assure you that prog-rock is not "evil," and that, unless one is incredibly impressionable to begin with, neither the music, lyrics, nor album covers of any prog-rock band is going to cause good Christians (or even good atheists) to "turn to the devil." Peace. |

Let me see if I fit in the description: 1.- Never used long hair in my life (except when I was a kid and before I listened Prog RocK. 2.- I'm more politically oriented towards the right, I fought against c0ommunist infiltration in the University, I have always voted for a democratic candidate. 3.- I am a lawyer and never in my life used colful clothes, as all of my prog friends who are also respected profesionals. 4.- I don't use any drug. 5.- I'm a Catholic (and for that reason a Christian, even if some groups don't believe so), I don't believe in New Age culture or esotheric things. 90% of my prog' friends are Catholics and the rest Jewishs. 6.- I have other interests than prog' music (even when prog' is an important part of my life). 7.- I stay with the older bands rather than be urged to find new ones. I'm the opposite of the description this guy gave, so there are two chances. a) I'm not a prog' fan (Which is obviously false) b) Jeremiah Paul Oaks. born in Arkansas City, Arkansas in 1943 IS A MORON AND/OR A REDNECK FULL OF PREJUDICES. I vote for option b Iván |

You could but it's not gonna go away. I think however that there is some truth in some of his observations. Lots of big names in progrock had songs with demonic references or with anti-religious lyrics. But I think he's wrong about the use of drugs. This applies to all genres of music.

I didn't read it either, but I've probably done everything - am I evil? Yes I am!

This is the life-less Fascist son of a b**ch who wrote that ballyhoo screed! No matter how much respect the rest of the people deserve, what he did has no name. Scribbling s**t without a serious, coherent foundation is a disrespectful act that responds to the name of DEFAMATION. Altough I found myself not resentful with this person, I am offended though. I tried to overshadow the fact believing such person deserves no importance at all, but it suits us all prog rock listeners. So f**k him, and his beliefs regarding prog rock. He acted cowardly with a judgemental, religious prejudice. So, whenever in Marion, Arkansas, hunt this dog down and hurl some tomates and rotten eggs in his direction accompanied of severe "flip offs" all the way! Peace, Land Edited by landberkdoten |

If he hates prog so much, why has he come up with such an excellent sleeve design for a prog compilation album? Edited by emdiar |

Hmmm... good question ...and why does he know that much about Jethro Tull, King Crimson and Pink Floyd? Maybe he's a repentant prok rocker with a serious drug abuse history behind that blamed it all on prog rock! Mmmm yeah, that explains the whole thing...

This guy is a freakin' comedian...how can you take him serious, take it with a pinch of salt (is this the right expression? I once picked this one up somewhere...)

That the subject matter of a piece of music contains demonic references, or is anti-religious in its lyrical content, would no more persuade me to sacrifice a virgin next full moon, than a passing Salvation Army band would convince me that the universe was created within a week, and dinosaur fossils are Gods way of testing our faith in Genesis. (The book rather than the band. "Duke" tested my faith in them. To breaking point!!)

Landberkdoten: "Maybe he's a repentant prok rocker with a serious drug abuse history behind that blamed it all on prog rock! Mmmm yeah, that explains the whole thing." You may be closer to the truth than any of us know... Peace. |
