Exactly. It's kind of... weird when the wisest guy in the classic
lineup turns out to be Wakeman.

Hm.  Wakeman says you have to have Anderson for it to be Yes.  Anderson
says you need both himself *and* Wakeman.  Is Jon just being nice?  Is
either one correct?

Maybe Jon is nice, he seems to get on well with Rick at the moment.
But Wakeman is absolutely right.

I've used this for the latest poll on my Yes news website: seehttp://www.bondegezou.co.uk/wh_now.htm

I would vote for "Yes has to include Jon and the current line-up
shouldn't call themselves Yes".

waitaminnit...isn't that what Wakeman said?

Exactly. It's kind of... weird when the wisest guy in the classic
lineup turns out to be Wakeman.

Yeah, it's just another fluctuation. And that... err... fluctuation
sucks.

Actually, I saw them last summer and they were great.

Well, my point is that Yes has changed membership since the first two
albums.

Which versions are Yes and which are a tribute band?

Are Steve Howe and Chris Squire paying tribute to themselves?

I don't care whether they call it Yes or Squire, Howe, and White formerly of
Yes. �

I think that anyone that is a real fan knows that the lineup has
changed
enough over the years and would be aware of who's playing now and anyone
that's a casual fan won't be aware and won't care anyway.

If they're playing YES songs, they're YES. �...rockin those YES hymns at
their new age, parking lot parties

The third poll option covers what would seem to be Rick's position:
you need Jon for it to be Yes, but you don't need him. At least, I
presume that's his position given his apparent support for the 2008
tour with his son replacing him.

there will be Yes music being played.
