Re: Maybe what we do is prog-rock! (funny content)

All the prog between '69 and '73 rules.

Moorcock should have titled it, "Elric of Melodrama."  He's much more pulpy
than Tolkien.  More on a level with H.P. Lovecraft (who's writing I love,
incidentally).  His pretentiousness fits right in with Hawkwind, and latter
era prog rock.

I'd like to see Keith Emerson's super fat synth patches in a fight against
Joe Zawinul's tinny warbly patches.  Hahahahaha.  Fuck you Zawinul.  <cap

Excuse me if I just capped your hero.

It was just a joke.  Geez.  You people are all so sensitive.
