When you travel to Jamaica and discover a white rum called 'Genesis' and you hope if you drink enough of it you'll be able to sing like Phil Collins.

When you misread the word "prophet" and say "Progphet" instead.

When you hear a halfway decent rock song and you use your headspace to "switch out" the singer for your favorite prog vocalist(s):

"What would this sound like if [Nicholls/Sadler/Wetton] were singing?"

Nice move. That takes some serious Jedi Prog skills.

I have often done this. Ummm Nicholls, Alder and Olzen. Oh boy. Lol

... you get angry with an electronic shop sales person who suggests an Ipod has sufficient disc space for X amount of songs. What? You mean like 3 - 4 minute pop songs? What If I have 20 to 60 minute long numbers... (thinking of Magma)...


... based on a true story... just some one I know... LOL

you, without any trace of irony or even knowledge that this might strike other people as strange, refer to a 5 and a half minute song as "short"

yes, I have done this on multiple occasions

Yup. I've got a 16gig I-pod and its only got 652 songs on it. Then again, my file format is larger cause I import all my music in 192K 24bit and 96K/24bit. I think the average they said for a 16 giger that you can fit over a 1000 songs on it.
Lies.

You have more music downloaded to your PC  (or whatever device you use) than you can realistically listen to on a regular basis, but you can't stop because you're compelled to hunt for the next discovery.

When you're riding back from the field with one of your graduate students and they ask you what bands you got to see in the '70s. An unspecified amount of time later, when you come up for your first breath, your student says "Wow, you've lived a totally cool life!"

When most of the concerts you attend, when people ask you who you'll be seeing they have no clue about what your are talking. It's just been happening to me now that I'm going to see Transatlantic.

When you hear a car alarm and you can realize influences from Wakeman to Emerson on it, as well as in any electronic device (which all owe a lot to Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream...)

Yeah, it happened some time ago to me, with a rather noisy printer, which sounded like the weird effects on "Tocatta" played bye ELP.
