Let me just comment on the lady in my life. This is one who rescued me from drugs and despair many years ago, and still goes out of her way to make my life pleasant, with many times that being an undeserved reward. A few years back, she got obsessed with Prog Rock while I was bouncing all over the country trying to keep food on the table. During that time she introduced me to Porcupine Tree, Ki...

[NOTE: As with my previous post, the song accompanying this has nothing to do with it beyond a thematically suitable lyrical snippet. But it ??is??, luckily, overwrought, silly and fun.]A year or two ago, there was a sort of mid-level scandal in the publishing world when, at around the same time, it was revealed that James Frey, the author of ??A Million Little Pieces??, had palmed off as a factu

There is a chance that Emerson, Lake and Palmer will reunite next year for their first tour in over a decade. Carl Palmer told the Birmingham (U.K.) Post “We were going to reform ELP this year but we had a few medical problems involving Keith. “One of his hands needs looking at so we had to postpone it.

I have heard of Emerson, Lake and Palmer. My parents are fans. We (my two sisters and I) would be exposed to many bands such as Them, Genesis, and Styx on family road trips.So, today's post is not about the band, but the song. I hadn't heard of 'Still...

Who knows? who cares? for me? C'est La VieThis beautiful song is full of remorse for a lost love.
