Atlantic magazine take on prog manifesto
I'm reacting to something I saw on their website which looks like a critique and a goodbye to prog...I just thought it had racial overtones, and it went on some bad assumptions. At best, it was a theory among hundreds of others. To me, Prog means Progressive in the truest sense...All cards are on the table...always.
I remember the first time I saw Chester Thompson with Genesis...I thought he sounded so good...It had absolutely everything to do with his sound and nothing to do with race.
WTF?

Hi,
My idea of "prog" and "progressive" started with the history of the arts 1000 years ago, with music, painting and literature leading the way ... for a small minded idiot and uneducated jerk to write something like that is like telling us that ___________ is dead, and you have to be mind-dead, deaf, dumb and stupid, to not know the difference.
Music, "prog" or "progressive" has never been dead. It has been alive for 1000 years as a progression and changes, and the playing unit got larger ... no one 500 years ago could imagine an orchestra with 100 players and someone actually compose a piece for some 30 or 40 different instruments ... and then in the 1970's to find one instrument that could take all those players and thrown them in the trash ... and the only talk back you got was silence if you unplugged the damned thing!
It's best to allow those articles to die and ignore them. You got to remember the greatest theory of advertising ever created ... SHUT UP ... and the church idiots did not know how to do that and helped create one of the largest sellers of video in the world, and making porno really famous!
I am not a fan of "rock critics", that think the only music that is worth listening to is the rock song that is a hit that they like. And the rest of music is crap. Well, I think that person's ideas is just as bad crap as that idea. And crap, for me, should be flushed down the toilet ... or at least do it as well as cats and dogs try to do ... bury it! Doesn't say much for that guy, does it? All it tells me is that he is writing to help his record company become bigger by selling more to you, and make sure you don't spend your nickels on the other stuff. Heck, the music business has been doing that for at least 60 years now ... check out the Tom Dowd special for a little more history on the subject. Ohhh, btw, it wasn't about the color or racist, either ... yeah ... sure! Sweep under the carpet!
Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!

Well said! Music will continue to change and adapt to new technologies. Those stuck in boxes will be left behind.

Hi,
Australian psychic that was a good friend, used to do a lot of classes and lectures, and one of his favorites?
You gotta remember that if you use boxes, and then another box, and then get tired of that one, and change the box, one day you will want to get rid of the boxes ... and you CAN'T.
There isn't a box to remove all the other boxes. Besides, you will never find that box!
Name is Peter Nelson, if you need to look him up!
So, you want to be a musician/artist now?
