Just sticking this question here:
I’m starting the day with “Pirates!” Haven’t listened to it in a long time. Did Emerson borrow from any pre-existing music by other composers for this?
ELP have a fairly zany history as prog bands go, and I've never read a full book about them (I'm sure others exist). I'll add this one to the shopping list.

I’d like to read Greg’s book. I recently re-read Keith’s book; the first time through I felt it was a bit juvenile but a good read. After his death, the re-read made me see the book in a less positive light. It is incredibly juvenile and extremely sad to read about his hang-ups and especially, his hand trouble. After the re-read I had no problem understanding that he took his own life.
I have thought about re-reading it in the wake of his passing. I read it when it first came out which has been a while. Agree, about the juvenile aspect of some of it, although he was in the middle of the height of rock n roll excess. The suicide really did not surprise me that much either. He seemed to be a troubled soul in some ways and not being able to play like he could when he was younger had to have made that situation worse.
