The worth of a Prog Masterman
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.

Re: The worth of a Prog Masterman
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.)

Re: The worth of a Prog Masterman
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.

Re: The worth of a Prog Masterman
As a Prog Masterman you are obliged to inform and educate. Not to scorn.
