Understanding Emerson Lake and Palmer

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand ELP. The songwriting is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of music theory most of the songs will go over a typical listener's head. There's also Greg's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from existentialist literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these songs, to realize that they're not just bombastic- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike ELP truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Greg's existencial catchphrase "Oh what a lucky man he was," which itself is a cryptic reference to King Arthur's knights of the round table I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Keith Emerson's genius unfolds itself on their headphones. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Tarkus tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

You're taking this too seriously. It's a copypasta meme. People can't take a joke anymore these days I guess.

Hi,

I'm not sure it was supposed to be "Just for Fun" as it was never noted by the O.P. as being that until Mirakaze called him out.  The whole point to that original copypasta was to get "self congratulatory" lovers of the Rick and Morty cartoon to respond, and the OP seems to have been trying to get that same response by copying and pasting material that was already printed.  For now I'm just going to lock the topic.
