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? ------------- I bleed coffee. When I don't drink coffee, my veins run dry, and I shrivel up and die. "Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso? Is that like the bank of Italian soccer death or something?" -my girlfriend |

A frantic drumsolo begins the play, bass and drums (dark forces) oppose our hero (represented by piano and guitar). 4th movement: "Loving just for laughs". 7:53. A weird dream like sequence, with cheerfull guitar and piano play. about our hero dragged into the void but not conscious of his loss. 5th movement: "Carnal dancer". 29:32. Signaling the end.

| It'd have infinite movements, each of infinite length! Can't argue with that. The names would be assigned names randomly. |

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. |

Album title "RAP KILLED PROG"
Geddy Lee - lead rapper Fish - rapper and mike noises Keith - turntables Phil - drum machine, but its broke so he has to improvise, beating on the equipment Steve Howe - playing the slide on bass tracks 1. Exxon and murdering for money in Iraq 2. Bush and Blair meet Manson and Hilter in Hell 3. Tusami and the Boy Who Surfed the Waves 4. Being a CIA agent and learning to grow poppies in Afghanistan 5. Put the wall back up, dont like what we are seeing 6. Diggin' for shade under dead camels 7. We 3 Kings who hide the truth(saudi overdub) 8. Kingdom, Queendom and just plane dumb 9. Toxic Avenger Strikes Back 10. Viral Spiral 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. |
