What would their respective "Wilbury" personas be? What kind of wistful-old-man songs would they write?

― Annouschka Magnatech (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 19:55 (twenty-one years ago)

(Would their opening act be The Sons Of Prog?
Howe junior ... Adam Wakeman... O-oh, bad idea. Sorry.)

I can't tell if I'm prouder to see more Wilburys threads or prouder that I couldn't possibly hypothesize about these fartknockers.

This group already exists (or existed). It is called Asia.

OMG. It's a picture from the future of the Clerks 25th Reunion party!

>What kind of wistful-old-man songs would they write?

they could complain about the metallic sounds of digital synths & how hard they are to program. lyrics mocking analog modelling and just give me a real arp, right before jarre launches into an arp-tar solo.

I'm not just talking about any old prog supergroup, I'm talking about a PROG WILBURYS! I think Milton has the right idea.

― Annouschka Magnatech (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 20:59 (twenty-one years ago)

haha wakeman has to be involved somehow so "oscar" can be in their first video

― Annouschka Magnatech (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 21:07 (twenty-one years ago)

This picture needs to be here. I am possessed by the hypno-oscar

How much is that doggie in the window?

Of course Roger Dean album art is mandatory

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 21:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Speaking of which, what the hell has Dean been smoking lately? Recent evidence:

their videos can cut away to the band members at home, sending their kids off trick-or-treating in their WIZARD'S CAPES!

i think that was the thing crawling up the side of my pantry yesterday.

Greg Lake's "Wilbury" track would be a rumination on his £6,000
Persian carpet - now shabby and threadbare from years of touring. The past couple of years has been especially hard on it since he can't afford a separate carpet tech and there's still scorch marks from when Emerson's keyboard fire ritual got out of hand.

During recording of the "Prog Wilburys" album, Wakeman will occasionally threaten to throw a glass of rare 1961 beaujolais onto Lake's carpet while shouting "Squire could do this in one take AND sound like an elephant."

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 21:38 (twenty-one years ago)

For the first encore, the traveling prog elders will be doing every night their twelve-and-a-half-movement 64-minute version of "When I'm 64". Complementing the original lyric with select excerpts from the Tibetan Book Of The Dead, recited by Peter Sinfield.
With orchestral accompaniment, as stands to reason.
And backed by Winchester Cathedral Choir.
Conducted by Kurt Mazur.
And featuring Nigel Kennedy and Yo-Yo Ma. And Yo-Yo Ma. And Yo-Yo Ma. And the Kronos Quartet. And Taraf De Haidouks. And Pavarotti.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 21:57 (twenty-one years ago)

not Kurt Mazur, David Bedford

― (Jon L), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 22:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanks, Milton. Bedford really is the one. To go for.

'Stars End' fucking destroys. Irony begone.

― (Jon L), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 23:02 (twenty-one years ago)

'Stars End' I haven't heard. I've got 'Rime' and 'Odyssey'. Both on vinyl, therefore troublesome to listen to lately. (Record player un-plugged, vinyl is complicated)

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 23:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, Michael Rother is prog? How do you work that one out?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Wednesday, 8 October 2003 12:30 (twenty-one years ago)

it's about love, you stickler. Oldfield's welcome to go off on his bagpipe solos, but he's going to need Rother there to hold it down.
