Great art is often kind of weird. Aristophanes’ plays were weird. Rabelais was even weirder. And what about Dante? Pretty weird stuff, if you ask me. I’m not sure if Stockhausen’s Helikopter-Streichquartett is great art (I like it; it’s funny), but it’s certainly weirder than anything Genesis ever did: ------------- He say nothing is quite what it seems; I say nothing is nothing (Peter Hammill) |

Hi,
I just thought the comment was funny, and very enjoyable. Wait until YOUR children tell you that the rap you are listening to is stupid! Or something like it! Heck, I've played Richard Harris for some folks (some really good things, by the way), and people thought it was nuts and stupid. But he did McArthur's Park way better than Mariah Carey ever will, at least you can believe him better than her! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

If children think that the music their parents is stupid/weird/awful, there's something wrong in their education OR in the parents' taste. I don't know for other people, but I never criticised my mother for enjoying funk/soul music, hard rock or Depeche Mode, and I never criticised my father for enjoying Pink Floyd, the Rolling Stones, Jean-Luc Ponty or Pat Metheny. I even found Tangerine Dream's Phaedra in my father's collection and in my mother's collection, and I didn't reject it and told my parents: "What the heck is this electronic crap???" Furthermore, I never complained about my parents making me listen to Mozart's Magic Flute, Tchaïkovsky's Swan Lake and Nutcracker, or Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf. So, if I ever had children telling that my death metal records frighten them, that my free jazz records make them cringe, that my Irish music records are lame or that my collection of African music is a shame... It would mean that I failed in their eduction. |

I think you are taking the things too seriously... In fact, it is very common the children do not like the music his parents listen. ------------- "Prog is Not Dead and never has been." (Will Sergeant, from Echo And The Bunnymen) |

I have a Jethro Tull programme from the mid-90's where there was a caption from original bassist Glenn Cornick's son - upon witnessing early Tull footage, Cornick's son declared "Christ Dad, you were a bloody Hippie"

| ^ Scottish band Beggars Opera did a fine Prog version of this song on their 3rd album, 'Pathfinder'. That instrumental intro is outstanding, any version. |
