^ That's the coming-of-age face/phase of our impeccable prog. Give that man a cigar and a (midly moderate) cocktail and seat him in a wheelchair before a stage aboard a Prog-cruiseship.

^ Well, at least Andriessen's anarchist credentials should warrant him some "P" recognition. And apparently he was once a fan of both Kraftwerk and Magma.

^ Wheelchair is rockin' now with TYS on the podium, but don't you ask that ol' proggin' fart to stand up! His ol' prog wifey, Myrna, is gonna wheel'im down to his senior cabin sometime before 11:30 PM, although he really wanted to catch 'em Musical Cocks before tuckin' in. Doctor's orders, and no nightcaps.

All excellent points. Sometimes I think that the basis of things like Prog magazine and their embarrassing awards ceremony is all predicated on an aging fan-base that never got over that the music they listened to as teens and 20s was not considered cool by the mainstream at the time. They never got asked to the prom, (boo hoo!), so to speak, and although the hairs are now grayer (or gone), the wallets are a bit fatter. So the whole progressive rock branch of the classic rock nostalgia industry that has emerged over the last 15-20 years or so mostly exists to throw that prom for them.
Lost, of course, is the fact that true boundary-pushing doesn't involve a prom at all.

You can preorder the non-deluxe edition from Amazon. The certificate of authticity and slipcase hardly seem necessary for this. It’s only the editor of Prog, not Bruford. Just IMO.
