that John Lennon was sometimes a very entertaining guy.

apparently The Beatles were more popular than Jesus.


Quote:
I guess you must hate John Lennon.


not at all...I own a lot of his records...a lot of Beatles records as
well. I do wonder, however, why he let that Yoko Ono sing on some of
that stuff. Her singing isn't entertaining at all.


Quote:
You must think The Beatles didn't know what they were
doing. �


they clearly knew what they were doing...it's just that what they were
doing was not at all what you think they were doing...you COSSHF.


Quote:
Blue Meanies were required to say *NO* until The Beatles and the
word *YES* appeared out of nowhere. �


that really showed those Blue Meanies, didn't it.


Quote:
My field of studies is different than yours no doubt. �


clearly...for example, I have no interest in figuring out how to
collect SSI early...I'm quite happy to work...even if I don't have
to...


Quote:
I watched Yellow Submarine last night, and I watch it once in awhile.


well that's really neat, you COSSHF. It's easy to imagine you sitting
in the bus, watching Yellow Submarine...and calling it "studies".

But hey, I've an idea...why don't you include _personal hygiene_ in
your studies and _clean yourself_ once in a while. You might really
benefit from taking that direction.

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.
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? Wink




<snort>
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.

Real thing?  HA!  Where's their trophy for being sooo special?
in the minds of all those who would view _the real_ Yes as being
special.
But you do have a point, you COSSHF...maybe it's not so much that Yes
was ever special, but more that tribute "Yes" isn't special at all.
 ...alot
of good it did  ....the Blue Meanies broadcast network ain't buyin it;
so what the hell you got
one should hope that you'd get over that nonsense, you COSSHF. The only
good music is going to do is of the entertaiment variety...and maybe
that entertainment will sometimes go deep enough for some people, to be
somewhat more than simple entertainment...but, dude, it's just _not
going to change the world_.

Music won't be allowed to change the world...in a good way. John Lennon

That Beatles movie had alot to say about society. I guess you must hate
John Lennon. You must think The Beatles didn't know what they were
doing. Blue Meanies were required to say *NO* until The Beatles and the
word *YES* appeared out of nowhere. My field of studies is different

I'm kind of bored with the Yes fan community

I just hope for the best for YES, and hope they have more new material
within the next year. I feel good just knowing that they haven't given
up yet. Their act is an expression of freedom; that's important to
those who look for fine examples. ...they're free to keep on rockin,
even without the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame including them
Fuck YES and fuck the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame too.
