It's official:

Sensational country and progressive rock artists Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin, and Rick Wakeman are bringing their signature sounds to Wellmont Theater!
Well, this should be interesting!
I hope ARW does this song live:
The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off
Steve does like that country style......
Ha!
I figured they'd simply have that one line, but they had the whole bio!
John Anderson b. 1954 - formed Yes aged just 14. How more progressive can you get ?

Google is not always your friend.
That was one of the funniest things I've read. At first I thought it was a spoof, but NO, they were serious !!!
And very clueless!
Hilarious. And scary. Someone thought what was in that article passed as research. And an editor let it fly. I guess country is way bigger than prog in New Jersey.
We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973
Buy your tickets now, folks! Then, after the show, demand a refund.
Well Trevor could pull out his old slide and Rick could dust off his Rhodes and......
The older I get, the better I was.
... and people have trouble with Jon Anderson's lyrics? ^^^<puking up in mouth>^^^Originally Posted by zravkapt

I could see covering this John Anderson tune. That fiddle line is pretty sweet.
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down.'- Bob Newhart
Wow... Just... Wow.

Absolutely hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.
There are no words. Funny as hell
Mountains come out of the sky, yee haw.
In 2014 Jon was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Not quite the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Jon was hoping Yes would get him into but impressive none the less.
Yee haw! Stay on for 8 seconds.

Let's just hope they don't expect for McGuire to turn up.

Actually there is more in common between them than you'd think. From John Anderson's Wikipedia page :
Sounds about right.He has also recorded 22 studio albums on several labels.
He was 15 in 1970, which is exactly when Yes recorded the "Disillusion" part of "Starship Trooper" which is slightly country-tinged.He played in a rock band until the age of 15, when he discovered the music of George Jones and Merle Haggard and turned to country music.
Yes had their first charting single that year with "Wonderous Stories".The club appearances finally paid off in 1977...
...probably with the song "Going For The One", which features Steve Howe on pedal steel guitar.He first hit the Billboard Country Hot 100 chart in 1977...
He really did put Accrington on the rock'n'roll map with that funny accent of his.Anderson's decidedly backwoods accent and distinctive vocal timbre helped land him in the forefront of the "New Traditionalist" movement...
"Union" album did mark a career peak.Chart success was minimal throughout those years [late 1980s]. However, that turned around in 1991...
A truer statement I cannot think of.Over his career, Anderson has collaborated with a number of different artists.
This is the only part where they careers become distinguishable. "Our" Jon Anderson has been based in San Luis Obispo, CA, for a little over 20 years.Anderson lives in Smithville, Tennessee, his home for more than 30 years.

Truth be told, they'd already enjoyed top-50 singles success with "Roundabout" in the US.
Your part about the Accrington rural dialect is spot on, though!

A theater that doesn't know which artists are really performing?
