I tuned into BBC3 and had to endure "Two Bints and A Packet of Shit" for half an hour. You sure that you have the right channel there?

Genesis were the only cool prog-rockers.

thats another of those oxymorons isn't it? Watched that but couldn't bring myself to watch more than about 30 seconds of the 'prog at the bbc' that followed. Funny program.

Wojo - complete tit yet again
Mr. Brian, I find that offensive.

Scouser's inability to se others' point of view is rather grating.

yes, thats what was good about it. the music program followed, otherwise it was all wry reminisces at former glories or follies, whichever way you see it - on robert fripp being visibly upset by not being allowed to sit down during the first king crimson gigs and perennial grumpy old man rick 'ive had 5 heart attacks and I'm still here' wakeman summing up with, something like 'people say its pretensious, too many notes and has no tune and goes on for too long, and then smiling at the camera - 'yeah, thats about right' (I'm paraphrasing there cos I cant remember what he said but something like that). Though Bill Bruford was quite funny, and lots of chin stroking about the fact that they had no female groupies. good program. The one they had on heavy metal the other week was quite good too.
