when i took my daughter a coat to school a little boy that was about 5 or 6 came into the school office holding his apple juice that was in a carton like milk comes in and he said his apple juice tasted like alcohol. the school secretary said and how do you know what alcohol tastes like and the little boy smiled and said cause he's tasted it. i was having to hold my nose to keep from laughing. if mom's and dad's only knew what their kids tell at school lol their hair would stand straight up.

Amen on that one krazy. Children are another implement of social control that has gotten out of control. I remember, years ago, in a town that had just canceled the YES concert scheduled there as they were satanists. My son and I were standing in the unemployment line and he was getting bored. I had a friend with me at the time and he turned to her and said," Judy, why do we not blow this place and do a doobie." Everybody turned and looked and started acting mean. We left and I never got unemployment. I got a job the day and life went on. That was 30yrs ago and I still remember it. Imagine it today.

I remember, years ago, in a town that had just canceled the YES concert scheduled there as they were satanists. Hey doc, if my town would have canceled a YES concert, I think I would have found a new town to live in. Wait a minute, I did find a new town to live in! I grew up in a very conservative, and very narrow minded community. They liked the idea of censorship, and I absolutely detested it. I don't agree with all the things that people think and do, but that doesn't mean that they should be punished for their ways. I was a fan of YES, and that didn't make me a satanist, even though my church minister might have thought that when he told me that I was going to hell for wearing my hair long. I found a new religion too! Ron

My first ex left for another woman. The church I was pastor in fired me as "no longer in good repute"! I was a little taken aback. I am still ordained in the faith but I have no church except that which comes to me on happenstance. When the town protested YES, they were in front of the concert hall with signs, peace signs no less. They were organized by a pastor who seemed like he was foaming at the mouth. I thought I knew some of the answers. Today, I do no longer have the questions. I hope it all works out.

"Lost on a wave and then after Dream on on to the heart of the sunrise SHARP-DISTANCE How can the wind with so many around me Lost in the city"
oh, man, i am a huge YES fan, i think i have every YES CD and all of the Rick Wakeman stuff too. they were considered satanists? they were an "intellectual" band as far as i was concerned, "rock electroniche", kinda like Tangerine Dream, esoteric stuff.
now, you want satanism, i was also a Black Sabbath fan, my first concert, in fact. when Ozzy was a skinny little blonde boy. (circa 1971).
my all time fav is still Pink Floyd tho, i guess you have to date yourself at some point.

I went to the first YES concert in the US. Grand Funk Railroad was the headline and YES was the warm up. You should come to our shop. All we have on the speakers is Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Gentle Giant, abba, in small letters!, CSNY, Judy Collins, Farquar, one of the first bands I recorded with, JD&co, my first band. We open in the morning with Doors, then T-Rex, then we create to YES SONGS. Tangerine dream is interchanged with Gentle Giant, early Genisis with Peter Gabriel, not Phil Collins, then we mix with Rave Shankar. The rednecks go "what the heck is zat sound?" "Oh, theat is theat hippie druggie music!" "Hey Clyde, look freeze dried hippies!" Don't tell anybody I bought here, they might throw me out of our thing". I feel like an Uneasy Rider at a clan meeting. "Hey Wade, it is ok, he is one of them dang Injuns!" My wife and I are still trying to slither through the cracks. I have yet to put the Six Wives of Henry VIII on the pipes. They are not ready for theat.

Black Sabbath, oh yeah! Ozzy was one of my favs. Back when I did the karaoke shows, Ozzy was one of the singers that I perform as. I would do "Paranoid" in my best Ozzy voice. I drew the line though when it came to biting off the head of a chicken.

Alice Cooper was the chicken killer
Heh, a little too much VH1 TV for me.

We just installed a new stereo in the truck the other day and it has a setting called "Exlpode" (my personal favorite). I pulled into the local package store just after 5:00 and all the good ol boys where there getting thei "Fridge pack" of Miller Lite. I had the window down and "Within and without you" from the Beatles anthology had just started cranking real good. I admit I did rifle through my purse a bit longer than necessary when I saw thier expressions before I killed the motor. No one spoke or moved till I left the building. Appearently, I didn't park, I Landed! My kind of fun, I guess ;D

I got to hear some synthysized bushmen music. It was a true recording, played through a PolyMoog. The music over the recording was sung through a voice wave synthysizer. I wish I had that music way back when. I can almost duplicate the feeling of looking through a window pane. Kinda makes my lips tingle, my arms sweat, and pupils dialate. Trails.........

Doc, where did you hear it? It sounds truely amazing,I'd love to hear that. Is a Polymoog a modern adaptation of the Moog synthysizer? I fell in love with classical music in about, what was it, 1970, when I heard "Bach on the Moog". Learned to play my first classical piece "Air on a G String" listening to it. I'm listening to Bach now, in fact.

the first Deep Forest CD was released in december of 1993, i can find no free samples on the web for download unfortunately.
but you can get a used copy on Amazon for $8.38, you won't be disappointed. i love the lullaby.. (if you like off the wall music).

Cookie, I have no idea where I could get a recording now. The PolyMoog came after the moog, and the moog came after the Melotron. I had a melotron and Hammond C-4 back in the early band days when we all wanted to be the Apple Chords, Or the Harold Zey band. I entered a talent show, back in the late '60's and my entry was Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. The difference was, myself and my buddies had learned to swallow air and pass gas on demand. I got on stage, brought the microphone close squeezed my cheeks, and farted. It went Phlt, phlt,phlt,phlt,phaaaaaat! I thought it was great, truly a masterpiece. My opinion was not shared with the other judges, an awful lot of the audience, my girlfriend. To be frank, I was told I had issues in no such terms. Becky the Airhead was truly impressed and I switched girlfriends. Diane was way too stuffy to even give me credit for showing up and doing it. She said I had poor toilet habits. How do you play Bach on a G-string? I bet between the two of us, we could have made people say some interesting things. I can see a duet, You playing Bach on your G-string, me passing gas to Beethoven. Just think of the reviews.

Thanks KD, I will definately look into that. Yeah, I'm into that kinda thing. Doc, it involves straddling a bar stool and leaning forward in very unatural positions, but I really shouldn't go there. You my get the wrong idea. As if you haven't allready. Hey, it's art! cookie
