When you listen to Transatlantic's new 77-minute epic "The Whirlwind" twice in a row and it feels like only one second is gone... on the other hand, that pop song that played at your Doctor's waiting room is actually only 1:30 minutes long and it feels like an eternity for it to get finished... btw, you unfortunately forgot your iPod fully loaded with about six or seven prog songs at home... Then you get home as fast as possible and listen to "The Whirlwind" again five times in a row, so you can sleep at night in peace...

(yes, the jukebox had them, and Yes I did play them... and completely killed the mood)
Prog: 1 ||| Country: 0
 
Wow!  I think you found the first prog and country bar!  Clap
 
Why would those songs be on any jukebox?  Except one in a bar that I started?  LOL

Just goes to show that Jan Hammer was ahead of his time with his publishing company name: Country and Eastern Music.

When your employees start to refer to Prog Rock in musical conversations, because you're always playing it in your office, and you're always providing them unsolicted moments to educate them about Prog.

You just stop talking about music in general for fear that some people will kill you for it.
