Re: Prog Rockers
DOES BRITANNIA RULE? PROG is from the ANZAC countries. FUSION is American.
CAPE STATUS If you’re in a FUSION band and you show up for the gig wearing a cape, you get fired.
Let’s just make this simple: If you are allowed to get away with any Rick Wakeman-style bullshit, then you are in a PROG band.
(DID THE KEYBOARDIST QUIT THE GROUP SO HE COULD SOLO OVER AN ICE CAPADE? That’s PROG, man.
That’s some of the PROGGIEST shit I’ve ever heard of.)
BLACK GUY? If there’s a black guy in the band, then it’s FUSION. (That probably had more to do with the UK/US split than anything.)
SPRECHEN SIE DEUTSCH? Ha-HA! Trick question! If the band speaks German, then clearly it’s KRAUTROCK. Fooled you, fucker!
