Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Not ever married, but there have been many times when I've been playing prog, and women (girlfriends, relatives, friends, co-workers, acquaintances, and such) have expressed dislike. Seems to happen with women much more often than men.

============================================== Robert Fripp's crazy 'busy-bee' solo on the song "I Advance Masked". Works every time. I suppose you could also run around the room frantically as the solo is played, with your hands on your head and two fingers in the air as antennas, for added effect. Also, Robert Fripp's song "Exposure" with crazy singing by Terre Roche. ===============================================

I always tell my wife to play whatever she wants in the car. I get plenty of my own stuff when I'm driving alone. We have some intersecting tastes, but Prog, darker Metal, other weird stuff, she just can't get into. I don't complain. I don't try to make her listen. I just tell her to pick whatever she wants. Her taste isn't horrible, so it's not all bad.

My wife hates Neo-Prog - IQ, Pendragon, Marillion. She hates them all.
But she likes Comedy Of Errors. Go figure.

Actually, at least two wonderful lovers went with and saw Tangerine Dream in LA and Pink Floyd's The Wall, also in LA. Both women, loved music very differently. Shelly was a heavy tripper, and TD fit the bill and she could just close her eyes and moan along and love with it all day. Ingrid was into RLJones and THeads and BRaitt, and some other things, but she was a dancer, and had a solid music "footing". She never said anything weird of bad about any of the music I played or had in my collection and she even listened to a good portion of it. It's possible that she was being polite, but that was not how she was or reacted. I was not a great fan of everything she played, but I never put down their music-ability, which was excellent. I still have the first 5 RLJ albums ... after she went pop, her touch was gone for me. Edited by moshkito - November 07 2018 at 14:24 |

Read your Website Pedro Very nice Stuff. liked that short Story bout her. Wonder how much of it was Fiction. Would be interesting if this also happens to women who are into prog. Gonna bring a German quote up in a few Days.

Thanks a whole bunch ... brought a tear to my eye. All of it is true, except "Adolphus" to a degree since it came from my dreams mostly. The others were true events and feelings. I kinda live on the edge of my imagination, so to speak. I only write poetry and fiction from dreams and visions, and the past 10 years, is even weirder ... I have written and complete about 3 novels in MY HEAD, and can not even figure out how to sit and write one word about/from them! Go figure! The films/music reviews is a bit different. Having a terrible time finding foreign film nowadays ... the advent of the internet is nice, but the distribution of the titles to stores disappeared and Amazon and other places only offer top price for them ... which has hurt my ability to keep up with many directors and other new things in film. The best one of these "stories" is the poem "You are No longer a vision, or a poem" ... for me!

My girlfriend won't let me play Maudlin of the Well in the car, and has threatened to eat the CD so I can never play it again.
She's no proghead, although strangely she did very much enjoy the King Crimson gig last week. |

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Believe me. My dreams are even weirder. Growing up in the digital age wasnīt easy : D. I would be interested in what you actually mean by written in your head (pm me), that part is a little confusing but sounds fun. I have to re-read that one (You are No longer a vision, or a poem") I am not sure if I read it. Already two or three months passed since I did read some of it. I am actually pretty happy bout the internet because I would have never found out about prog music as a thing. I mean I would probably have heard some pink floyd and genesis (because of my father) but I donīt think I would have extended from that. No way ever finding out about Magma or Cardiacs two of my absolute favourites. I donīt the much about the art of the film. |

Except for a few song my wife pretty much dislikes all Prog Rock, especially King Crimson, Zappa, and Captain Beefheart.
I took my wife to a King Crimson concert, and I tried to warn her ahead of time, that King Crimson is not for the weak of heart, musically or lyrically. Except for the song, Islands, she hated every minute of the concert. Months later, my wife asked me what we should do on the weekend. As a joke, I said we could go see a King Crimson concert. She gave me a less than humorous response.

Wifey and I were driving around a week or so ago, and Scorpions' 'Lonesome Crow' came on in my car...she suffered through the first few songs, until Klaus began just singing "OOOOOHHHH" in parts over and over, to which she stated "That is terrible"...haha!

That would be interesting. I'm guessing CDs are hard to digest.

That's a whole new level of hatred...she'd rather eat plastic than hear a band. |

ehhh...
for us....anything with steel pedal guitar.. or songs about
mama, trains, trucks, prison.. or getting drunk... hahah. I did marry up several social classes.. Raff never has tossed a cigarette in pool of someone's elses blood, drove a muscle car into a tree at 80mph, broken bar stools over peoples heads, or awakened in a trash dumpster after a night painting the town red. Prog really doesn't capture real life man the way old school country does... it's all ivory tower sh*t.. but at least it sounds good for the most part. |

A few amusing moments with my partner. And she has accompanied me to many proggish concerts, including Yes, Dream Theater, Steven Wilson. She enjoyed these, except for Dream Theater (could have been the 'plumber's crack in her face for teh entire show, but one can be sure )She also had Yes, JT, ELP and Kate Bush in her collection before I met her, so she's not the anti-prog.
However, she found Raider II unpleasant and not to be listened to again. She likes Queen, but Dead on Time she found 'anxiety provoking.' Ditto for Tesseract. She decribed Haken as 'w**kery' and doesn't like any growly stuff like Opeth and Cynic, probably the only two growly bands in my collection! Hates Tool with a passion. Found DT's The Astonishing 'awfully boring' and she was 100% right about that. I find her reactions amusing, but for peace sake, I try to spare her the excesses.
