It's a long story . . . Aborted relationship? check . . . Old friends, much booze, re-establishing old friendships . . . check . . . Spreading Yes around the internet? Of course . . . I went from moderating the Yes art forum here, straight into old vids . . . to illustrate music I like. And trying t...

Sometimes, cocooning is a good thing . . .

I'd be great for when your G.I. Joe or Barbie wants to play along to Six Wives . . .

And some pics . . . I would have loved to come down, but the end of October is always bad for me--I was there in spirit though!

So, everyone behaved themselves? I guess that happens when I'm not there!

I wonder what the ladies will make of this . . .

On the other hand, who cares!:P

I just saw a link in the new NFTE, and didn't want other hetrosexual guys out there to miss this . . .

Good clean fun for boys--of all ages . . .

From In A Word?

Uhhhh . . .

It makes the early 70's Coke comercial they did a masterpiece in comparison! :P

What I need to do is meet more gay guys--they know all the chubby neurotic smart girls, and could hook me up . . .

Hey, it worked before . . .

When I found Yestalk, there was already a teenager here, and her enthusiasm for the site turned it into a community . . .

I wonder what the median age for Yestalk is . . .?

Yeah, work is a drag, especially in a heat wave . . .

But More Drama in St. Louis can stir it up--thanks for the heads up Ray!

I'm going with an old college buddy, and the infamous "Leaf" shirt--To make sure Chris can spot me . . .

I'll have to do a brownie report, of course . . .

Dammit, chat is not working for me again . . .

Thought if Ed can show up again, so can I!

Been working like crazy since Spring, but finally getting my head above water. Got tix to More Drama in St. Louis, so it's a good time to show my face again!

Plan to see if anyone comes to chat tonight too!

Is it safe for old folks here?

Neo Pagan, 100% . . .
Unitarian Universalism, 91% . . .
Secular Humanisn, 90% . . .

The stuff on sacredness of nature swung me a bit more theistic . . .

The bottom ones? Hardcore Christians and Islam . . .

Save everyone you love trouble--make out a living will . . .

Disconnect my tube, but slip in some good morphine on the way out . . .

Everyone is gonna die . . . Me, you , that guy in the Ramones . . .

Choice is the issue--it's funny that no one connects this to Hunter S . . .

Yes, theproffet is back, and he's pissed off . . . Y'see, my friend Lorri, who's well known as a photo-journalist in town, for local bands, is being shut down for taking pics of policemen . . . Okay, this is Lorri's Yes pics . . . http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/lorri0037/album?.dir=e75a&.src=ph&store...

Just chatted with Aussiefan--hope he did not mind my intoxication, and listening to "Wichita Lineman . . ."

"I know I need a small vacation, but it don't look like rain . . .

And if it snows, that stretch down south won't ever stand the strain . .."

It took TheAncient four times to get on, and Doug never could! I think there's some suggestions to help in the help forum though, try it out folks. I was in until about nine my time, chatted with Aussiefan and Mike, but was feeling out of it, and didn't think anyone could get on--I'll try again this...

Maybe some friendly banter . . . I have some games in mind . . .

Uh, maybe some harmless flirtling may occur . . .

I never saw (at least, that any friends owned), any Yes eight tracks--have an ELP I bought at a yard sale though! I was once driving with some older "cool dudes" in the 70's . . . think of that kid in the movie Dazed and Confused . . . They put in Wish You Were Here, it screwed up, and they tossed i...

How embarassing!

For all of the guilty, to let them free . . .

Wings fill the windows,

And they beat, and bleed,

They hold the sky,

On the other side,

A borderline . . .

I bring this up all the time with my gay friends here . . . I'm honest--I grew up in a Bad Company, Ted Nugent, Southern Baptists thing! I was ignorant, really . . . Of course now, I'm older . . . I've been around, and learned a bit . . . I can't see any reason why two consesnsual adults can't arran...

I'm thinking of this, with one eye to the Yes touring thing--the boys have been doing well--I've seen some Billboard information saying they placed sixteenth in concerts this year. For a 70's band, that's very damn good . . . And yet . . . Jon's a bit burnt out, but perhaps studio work may be may do...

"Savoy Truffle"

Okay, preliminary list . . . chronologically . . . Silent Wings of Freedom (Maybe a nice live take, which is rare . . .) Does It Really Happen? Cinema Leave It (a capella) Shoot High, Aim Low Masquerade That, That Is Mind Drive Universal Garden Haven't timed it out, that may be a disc worth, so far ...

The Lord of the Rhymes--This is cracking me up . . .

"My name is Gimli, I'm a fuckin' dwarf!
I smote them orcs from the south to the north!
It ain't Mirkwood I'm choppin' wit' my battle axe!
I'm on an orc stampede like Shadowfax!"

Hmm, you know you're a Yestalk regular when you make sure to save a twelver for when you're gonna chat later . . .

I've heard that Guided By Voices, the low-fi indie rock band, has been know to cover this live. The leader, Robert Pollard, is a Yes fan, about the same age as I am--love to hear a boot of it . . . Victor Wooten, of Bela Fleck's band, throws in a few bass "quotes" during his solo spots--I think I wa...

I googled it a while back, I remembered this from the 70's . . .
