Yes!!!! My friend and I drove two states to a show rather than fly just to share music. It was great!
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Happens a lot with all these university lectures I have to survive (& 10mbit wi-fi connection helps also a lot)

There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

when you dance at the disco and memorize "Sleepwalkers" in your head just to have something to dance to its rhythm (and of course not to the music served by DJ)
 
when you refuse to go out with the girl only because you have Pendragon's gig that night :)
yet you still have time!

# Whatever: When the 'Progressive Rock' genre section on your iPod is bigger than the general 'Rock' section. Or if you have all the subgenres as separate sections... and Zehul has more bands in it than... I dunno, Blues. :P
[/QUOTE]

Just plain Rock on my computer. 0. Zeuhl, 1 Band. Blues, 0 Bands. Ouch. Although I guess you could say some of the bands in my Psychedelic Rock section are really just Blues-Rockers but forget it. 

You have a thirty minute conversation with your friend about a Progressive Rock Guitar Hero and what it would be like.

You feel ashamed about listening to Pink Floyd because they are too simple. (Not true for me)

You didn't have second thoughts about buying Gong's Acid Motherhood after seeing the cover.

Yes! A ugly bunch those old progsters. A feel a bit of horror watching a old Jethro Tull DVD with a sweaty Anderson that look like somebody they dragged in from the gutter ;)
