Progressive rock fell out of favor with the mainstream audience decades ago, but the genre has managed to thrive and survive in the rock music underground, picking up steam in recent years and appealing to an entire generation of young new fans searching for honest music.

Avdelning välkommen till sandlådan:

imageJon Anderson svarar på frågan om han skulle re-joina Yes om han fick möjlighet:

That's a difficult question, obviously. Because they decided to do what they want to do. They just disappointed me totally, and a lot of fans. But who cares? Fans, people in live music, they don't care what the problems are within a band. And they decided they wanted to go and get a guy that sounded like me and looked like me.

I'm not a pushover. I have a good, strong spirit, and I'm doing what I believe to be the right thing by just getting on with music, rather than worrying about the band. I know they're out there, they're making an album. Good luck to them.

It should have been done in a more gentlemanly way. We should have talked a little more about it. But they needed to make money. They were broke, and they needed to get on the road. And they like doing that. They like being journeymen. I've got a great life. I'm in love, I have a happy, wonderful, beautiful time with my marriage, and I have a beautiful home. I want to spend time here working and creating. Some people just want to be out on the road all the time. That's just the way it goes…. läs mer

Chris Squire´s version  i http://www.classicrockrevisited.com:

Squire is matter of fact about the circumstances that led to Anderson being replaced as well as the number of fans who are upset about the change :

I find that to be the minority of people at the moment, as far as I am concerned. Obviously, there are going to be people who will miss him or whatever but life must go on. Believe you me, if Jon was up and his health was good, then it would be a different situation, but that is not the situation. We decided at one point to go one with Benoit. Otherwise the band would have just slipped into obscurity…

Apropå Yes så kommer gruppen med den nya lineupen till Köpenhamn och Oslo i början av december. Ingen konsert inbokad i Sverige ännu.

Cat Food är en 40 år gammal låt med King Crimson. Den gavs ut som singel 1970, finns också som spår på In The Wake of Poseidon, och går i 19/8-dels takt. Del av texten lyder:

No use to complain
If you're caught out in the rain;
Your mother's quite insane.
