What's better than a new Jon Anderson post?
Goldmine interviews Jon...

I found this quote of interest, where he is being asked about revisiting the 1000 Hands/Uzlot project over the years:
Goldmine: …but you would revisit it from time to time while being wrapped up in everything else.
JA: Life! Touring mostly with Yes, and I did a lot of solo shows after I got sick. I didn’t want to tour with Yes anymore because it was just too stressful. There was so much going on within the band itself and with management, that it was out of control. I’m no puppet. I’m down-to-earth but I want to get stuff done. I have dreams to fulfill. As soon as the Internet opened up, I got in touch with (guitarist) Steve (Howe) and (bassist) Chris (Squire). I said, “Please send me MP3s and we’ll work together around the world no matter where we are.” Six months later, still no response. So I put an ad on my website: “Musicians Wanted” and got hundreds of replies. I said send me music and I will get back to the people I could. I got back to a dozen or so people… and I’m still in touch with them. We create music on an open level. It’s not business.
Seems to be a new take on the "I got sick and Yes moved on without me" story. Also, it might be the first interview with Jon in recent times where he wasn't asked about ARW.
