this guy is from Minnesota and at least in some loose connections, knows/runs with some of the more hip/hipster crowds. But it's an interesting article that more of the prog-haters probably could benefit from reading and may agree with.
I guess he also claims to be the biggest Michael Nesmith fan in Minnesota, but my girlfriend will totally argue with that point. But maybe my favorite part of the article is this:
I've turned my poor wife into a prog rock fan. And she's got *quite* particular taste. I can't just force her to listen to any old damn thing and have her like it; six years into our relationship, and she*still* doesn't love heavy metal, really. But prog rock? Yeah, I've seen her actually put it on the turntable (well, computer) herself. She's proof positive, I think, that if you actually stop and listen to this stuff, you *might* actually like it.
