The worth of a Prog Masterman

Unread post by Mississippi Blind Child Assburn »

We Progmastermen are the guardians, the stewards, the archivers, the depositariums.
We ensure the prog-flavoured past is not given short shrift - or even totally over-looked - in the future.

We are more than this world's memories. We are the actuality.

We stood through it all: the constant attacks of bad taste, the recalcitrance, the sorry new generation which recedes from engagement , even opinion.

If it were left up to sorry Jimmehs like yourselves - and , moreso, your children - prog would die off.

It is this lackluster culture of the Disobliging, of unwillingness to uphold anything of importance to society, it is THIS what we pure, samite-robed Mastermen daily battle against. Our battlefield: the blogs, the forums.


Again I repeat: WE STOOD THROUGH IT ALL.
You should GET DOWN ,JIMMEHS and reverence us.

We are the custodeans that strive to ensure the prog vinyl and cd/ the turntables remain viable and CIRCULATING IN THE COMMUNITY, not just the future Museums of Loss.

I can tell you right off that no one who references something as media-pushed as Steven Wilson (and, say, Porkupine Tree) is no Prog Masterman.

He is but another follower of the masses.

"Easy Action" (as the Alice Cooper lp is titled.)

The Wilson "Crow/raven" wotsit cd is good. 2 others i did not like.
I understand he is now pandering to pop music.

Porkupines I've known since 90s. One cd is much like another.


My point is that these are not bad artists persay - its just that noobs don't know (or bother to lift a finger to search for ) anything that isn't funnelled down their throats by the media. They know 10/20 bands tops and believe that is enough to come on a forum and talk prog/fusion/whatever.
They are evanescent,ephermal sea monkeys in a glass of steam.


and I hate them.
