It is amazing to me that Rob Allen at least claims to be over 50 years
old. From his obsession with Chris Squire, one might think he was
about 15. This NG has a readership of, what would you say, a few
hundred over the long term? And yet no one can make a comment
supportive of the current Yes "direction" without his immediate,
verbose, snot-nosed, wiseass reply. If Yes is such crap these days,
wouldn't you think he'd find a new place to cyber-hang? But no, day
after week after month, he's here, being the annoying little man at
the party who can't let anyone express their opinion without butting
in about how wrong they are. He claims he doesn't think this is his
personal NG, but you'd never tell that from his posting.

I wish he would express his obsession with Chris Squire in more
traditional stalker ways: waiting outside Squire's house, sending him
scented love poems with hearts and flowers, killing Squire's dog and
putting the head in his bass case. Anything other than the endless
repetition of the same pissy little point: "I don't like this, so it
sucks, and I'm going to stay here all day and talk about how much it
sucks." Well, OK, as long as he isn't deluded into thinking anyone
gives a damn. The only reason I know his name is his incredible
keyboard diarrhea, which won't let him spend a day without 5,000 words
on why Steve Howe is grumpy (with "fans" like Allen?), Squire is
drunk, White can't play, and the dastardly Benoit David has committed
the unpardonable sin of accepting a gig he was offered. They are all
guilty of Not Being Jon Anderson. Of course, a man in his 50s could
roll with punches like these. I guess Allen is a cranky old man
himself, and wants to spend his time online completely obsessed with
people who barely know he's alive, let alone give a damn about his
preferences as to THEIR career.

So why not create a Jon Anderson newsgroup? Then he couldn't reassure
himself by thinking about how "superior" he is to Chet! This Rob Allen—
what a loser.

Yesfans isn't _that_ devoid of crtitical p.o.v's....really.... it's
just that any good points are buried under a slushy mountain of touchy
feely pussyfooting/back-patting/ and self congratulatory twiffle.

Well, at least Rob's posts beat the doped-up or lobotomized moronic
blathering of Chet or the incomprehensible, hypo-maniacal rantings of
'wereo'.

Whilst its a relatively polite forum to retreat to every now and then
I only end up reading comments by the likes of Billy Sherwood, Earl
Grey, Henry, Sully and a handful of others. The trading room is good
though.

I'm kind of bored with the Yes fan community -- here, there,
everywhere -- nowadays. So you don't see many posts from me
lately. As Yes-related activitiues go I'd rather spend time learning
the bass part to 'To Be Over' than reading the same old from the same old..

I'll probably see the band itself again if they stagger back here. But
when they can so easily be compared to, say, themselves on tour in 1977
on Youtube, it gets ever more, um , poignant to sit through the latter-day
versions.

You can always put Rob Allen in your kill file. I did it years ago.
The only time I see his posts are when someone I haven't kf'd responds to
him.

Rob is bitter because he covered his body in Jon Anderson/Yes-related
tattoos. Now that Anderson is no longer in YES I guess it's too painful for
him to deal look at all that ink on a daily basis.

Now if he had gotten some Squire tats, he wouldn't have this problem, would
he?

it might be that so many clear thinkers like this thing are present in
the Yes fanbase, that gives HS the idea that their tribute act can pass
for the real thing.
