OK. Mentioning Yes was SUCH a mean thing to do. I'm having flashbacks. The scene: Pine Knob in Michigan. The situation: A poor boy tricked into seeing aforementioned band perform by a 'friend.' Here I was, a naive little boy wandering around in a b&s shirt, gawking at the stoned bikers wandering around with women half their age and the extremely old men on the stage. I thought 'well, I've never heard this band before. Maybe they're good.' And then the vocalist spoke, his words a high pitched, eerie squeel. I wanted to cry. And then...and then...he sang. It was horrible. The bikers gently swayed. The animals took refuge. I slowly tore at my face hoping the pain would distract me from the awful sounds surrounding me. It didn't. Twenty minute songs that started nowhere and ended in roughly the same spot after meandering around in a rather sloppy circle were chained together almost seamlessly. Every brief refuge from the horrible 'music' was ruined by Mr. Singer talking. My friend asked me if I thought the band sucked. I said 'Yes.' Bad pun, but true. I'm sorry. I hate to be so negative..but it was just such a horrible show. It hurts to be reminded of. But maybe talking about it will help a bit. Tomorrow is a new day. I will ride my bicycle to the park. I will swing while listening to b&s. I will be watched by the policemen. I WILL overcome my Yes experience. I think I can I think I can I think I can.. With as much love as a mind tainted by seeing Yes live can offer, christiaan ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
