have a copy of Buffalo 66---decent enough film---and as you know kit-kat that Vincent Gallo---writer director of film is a huge Yes fan---at least early 70's Yes and think he also likes KC.

While at brunch today, I noticed a family who came into the restaurant....the daughter, perhaps 14, was wearing a black long-sleeved tee-shirt with the LTIA emblem emblazoned across the front!!  

I wanted to ask her if she really knew about King Crimson, but decided that her father would probably beat me to death. Or my wife.  

Basically like this one....needless to say, it was quite unexpected to see in that context!!  This logo is forty years old!!

^ That "wish you were here" moment. You probably couldn't believe your eyes. You could pull on your shirt and give a nod of approval.

... No, that would probably be creepy.

That symbol didn't originate with King Crimson.....did her shirt say King Crimson,
or was it just the symbol?   If it was just the symbol I think it could have had
a different source.  

I think KC even took the line drawing of the exact facial expressions for this symbol.

You should have asked her dad first. He might have been the one who turned her on to Crimso.

I heard an old Genesis cut in Whole Foods a week or so ago--  Battle of Epping or something like that, pretty cool.

It did say "King Crimson" on it.  Mind you, I didn't want to stare at the young lass!   However, I did notice that much. 

Maybe she pilfered it out of dad's drawer?  

The shirt looked so good, I may have to get a black one to go with my collection!!

When I was back in secondary-school (more precisely, during 1986 - grade 9) - for Geography we were studying the cause and effects of erosion along the coastlines - now this may be some BBC thing, but we watched a doco on this subject , and on a scene where the waves were crashing into a craggy cliff there was this music behind it - some wailing guitar chords and a mellow feel.  Now, I said to myself, "this music sounds like Pink Floyd" - upon reading the end credits, sure enough.......
I was only familiar with Dark Side, The Wall and WYWH at that stage.  I think it was the instrumental Gilmour section of 'Dogs', just before the 'and when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown'.........
I'll never forget that moment in class.

Guy pulled up his car next to me at WAWA (a PA & NJ convenience store) with his windows down & RUSH's "Twilight Zone" was playing. Talk about a deep cut!
Cheers,

I just found it very funny and strange that a neanderthal like Tony Soprano listens to music like that. Also, he plays METALLICA at his strip joint establishment.


His daughter has prog taste too. I saw a poster of Nattens Madrigal by Ulver on her bedroom wall!
(episode 3, season 1)

Imagine a girl like that listening to Norwegian black metal.

^ I remember a few years ago one of the local classic rock stations was playing all of side one. Everyone in the car just kept his mouth shut. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

So, anyone else have this sort of thing happen to them?Sylvia is one of those songs that works really well in that sort of context.  It's a great little tune and I don't think you'd find any prog ignorant shoppers that would be bothered by it.  Still I wonder how many shoppers heard what I heard liked it and didn't think any further about it. LOLIt did give me a bit of a rush hearing Sylvia there and I think it may have caused me to buy things. Tongue

Great story! 'Sylvia' is a great tune.
