Saw a guy wearing KC's 'Beat' on a shirt at my daughter's track meet. Coincidentally, I was wearing my 'Larks' t-shirt. We stayed two hours later, talking about who we liked. My wife was not happy. Embarrassed

And why shouldn't Soccer be called Football... Soccer is the one that is actually played with the feet, not what americans call football. Besides, Soccer is Football in the whole world, except for USA (and Canada?) (well,at least I think so, and if not then at least in the vast majority of the world).

The allegation holds that I teach English, so how do you spell football? NFL, and if you're a native of Mexico, you're an American too (north, that is for an added cultural moment here)!

Prog-related (sort of) but I was watching NCIS LA and Kensy (Sp?) was wearing an Iron Maiden Killers t-shirt.

I have that shirt bought at the show which I made sleeveless to man it up a little (what a soft album cover). Did the same with a non-band sanctioned UK shirt purchased on the sly in the Santa Monica Civic parking lot during their second tour. Two 30-some-odd-year-old t-shirts gathering dust in a closet against the wife's wishes.

Well, I don't want to make a discussion where it's not needed, nor do I know how serious you are... however, whether you teach english or not, football still comes from foot and ball, and American football barely uses the feet to do something with the ball (except for a few occasions), unlike Soccer Football that is wholly played by kicking the ball with your feet. I don't see the relevance of NFL as an argument to call the sport football. And actually, I do like American Football better than Soccer... I think it's a harder and more complete game, with more interesting strategies, and so on, but still, that doesn't make me agree with the name.

And obviously when I was talking about americans I meant people of the USA... of course I know Mexico is part of the continent America, and the sub-continent North America, and actually, it rather bothers me when Americans... it's not my fault the name of the country makes it sort of complicated to call you something... unless you are OK with the Gringos denomination that is used around here (not trying to be rude, really). So, in Mexico Football is what you call Soccer, and what you call Football is called American Football around here (meaning, of course, the country, not the continent). And once again, all around the world Football is what you call soccer. However, anyway, Football is often spelled Futbol around here, which of course doesn't mean anything.

I'm eating in a Subway (the restaurant) listening to the Vitamin String Quartet play the theme to Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas. I don't know if it would count as Prog, as they're more of a tribute band doing classical versions of rock music. Prog Related, I guess. I was actually wondering at first blush if it wasn't some Univers Zero I hadn't heard.

I know DSOTM hardly counts, but I heard Money and Breathe consecutively on the classic rock channel about a week ago.

So I just watched TV and then the commercials came, so I didn't pay a lot of attantion to it. I heard some pop song that I'd heard somewhere already and suddenly I heard the lyric: TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY SCHIZOID MAAAAAN!
This is the ad:

Apparently it's from this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L53gjP-TtGE

Yes, I noticed that last night on ITV as well!  Hey, I gotta buy some - they are obviously aiming at the 50+ demographic!

I was waiting in line at the bank today, and I heard the lovely, lush sound of Bob Fripp's distorted Les Paul!  It was David Bowie's "Heroes" on the radio!  Amazing tone Fripp had!

From Wikipedia: King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp generated an unusual sustained sound by allowing his guitar to feed back and sitting at different positions in the room to alter the pitch of the feedback (pitched feedback).

In the new X-men trailer, there is a scene in which a dude has a Rush t-shirt on.

Speaking of Rush, the local classic rock radio station played Limelight today.

Reading a Rolling Stone Magazine, saw a collage of classic albums including Court of the Crimson King 😃

Also, last summer I saw a man with a KC shirt and yelled across the street to him I was so excited

When I walked in front of a car workshop (is that how it's called in english? I don't know lol), I heard 2112. I know Rush is quite popular, considering how Brazil loves old rock music, but I was surprised for being that song in particular.

Yesterday I watched Four Flies on Grey Velvet, an Italian crime/horror film from the early 1970s where the main character is the drummer in a rock group whose sound is obviously patterned on Mk2 Deep Purple.



Also, in the protagonist's house a LP of Traffic's John Barleycorn Must Die album is clearly visible at several key scenes.
