I highly doubt it.

Meantime, VHM to "Bitch" (that's the title of this one, right?).

kind of an unusual combination, a singing organ player and a guy who played drums with his hands (I don't think all the time)

I'll betcha $20 that was POC.

Meantime, yes, "Liar" was an Argent cover.  I want to say Russ Ballard wrote it but I could be misremembering.  3DN at their "toughest."

As a bass player, many people assume I adore Chris Squire's bass playing.  While I certainly admire his chops, it's usually been a little too much of a showoff kind of thing for me.  While I type this, he's doing some pretty tasty walking bass lines!

Well, you hit the nail on the head about my feelings towards 'prog rock.'  I kind of like 21st Century Schizoid Man though!  I don't think it's because the bass player is cool, but Greg Lake is much more in the pocket than Chris Squire.

Title: so, what's the deal with Cat Stevens?

Seems like a resurgence in his radio play lately, perhaps due to John Ashcroft?

I have no idea what any of you are talking about.  "The Cooler," wha?

I have no idea what Marc Bolan's talking about either.  But he gets BOS b/c he says "Jag-yew-are" instead of "Jag-war."

the year I dropped out of UCSB.  No wonder these songs evoke mixed memories of time and space.

I'd like to think that folks have finally realized that he made great art, regardless of what his current political/religious views may be.  But he (or the record company) have done a very good job of rehabilitating his image (it was only a decade ago that he was banned by many stations because of his Salman Rushdie comments).  And I'd wager that his run-ins with the US government (being on no-fly lists etc) have actually helped in larger, more multi-culti radio markets like SF & Chicago.

As the local janitor, I looked at your code to see if I could fix it, and it all looked fine.  But maybe you had the "disable html" box checked?
