The happening with the journalist happened by coincidence. I was not
looking for it and he was looking on something on the subject of 'prog
rock'. And again, it was a journalist. Even so, if someone asks I
would give an answer no problemo. If the brother-in-law wants to know
about the music I listen to I will not go "aw, you wouldn't understand".

This also goes in 'prog rock' crowds. There is a gathering function of
popular music. At many levels of popularity. In some, their is an
actual musical listening aspect to it. In others none whatsoever. In
others, they like a beat, any beat. Etc.

I must say I did listen to a lot of the Flower Kings as they brought a
nice twist in a good number of their productions. Saw them in
Würzberg once. There is a lot of giving in composition and playing,
which I appreciate.
Eg.: "Love Supreme" live:

But they also go into 'epic finales' which goes on and on and on and
on ...
