I wish he would express his obsession with Chris Squire in more
traditional stalker ways: waiting outside Squire's house, sending him
scented love poems with hearts and flowers, killing Squire's dog and
putting the head in his bass case. Anything other than the endless
repetition of the same pissy little point: "I don't like this, so it
sucks, and I'm going to stay here all day and talk about how much it
sucks." Well, OK, as long as he isn't deluded into thinking anyone
gives a damn. The only reason I know his name is his incredible
keyboard diarrhea, which won't let him spend a day without 5,000 words
on why Steve Howe is grumpy (with "fans" like Allen?), Squire is
drunk, White can't play, and the dastardly Benoit David has committed
the unpardonable sin of accepting a gig he was offered. They are all
guilty of Not Being Jon Anderson. Of course, a man in his 50s could
roll with punches like these. I guess Allen is a cranky old man
himself, and wants to spend his time online completely obsessed with
people who barely know he's alive, let alone give a damn about his
preferences as to THEIR career.
So why not create a Jon Anderson newsgroup? Then he couldn't reassure
himself by thinking about how "superior" he is to Chet! This Rob Allen—
what a loser.
hmm, 31 lines...what is that 400+ words? All that spent on the
"loser" Rob Allen.

If you want a site nearly void of critical points of view, hang out at
Yesfans. There are a lot of us who used to think of Yes as something
special, and now as merely something else. You don't have to read his
posts, you know.

You can always put Rob Allen in your kill file. I did it years ago.
The only time I see his posts are when someone I haven't kf'd responds to
him.
Rob is bitter because he covered his body in Jon Anderson/Yes-related
tattoos. Now that Anderson is no longer in YES I guess it's too painful for
him to deal look at all that ink on a daily basis.
Now if he had gotten some Squire tats, he wouldn't have this problem, would
he? ;)

I just hope for the best for YES, and hope they have more new material
within the next year. I feel good just knowing that they haven't given
up yet. Their act is an expression of freedom; that's important to
those who look for fine examples. ...they're free to keep on rockin,
even without the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame including them

Yesfans isn't _that_ devoid of crtitical p.o.v's....really.... it's
just that any good points are buried under a slushy mountain of touchy
feely pussyfooting/back-patting/ and self congratulatory twiffle.
Whilst its a relatively polite forum to retreat to every now and then
I only end up reading comments by the likes of Billy Sherwood, Earl
Grey, Henry, Sully and a handful of others. The trading room is good
though.

I'm kind of bored with the Yes fan community -- here, there,
everywhere -- nowadays. So you don't see many posts from me
lately. As Yes-related activitiues go I'd rather spend time learning
the bass part to 'To Be Over' than reading the same old from the same old.
I'll probably see the band itself again if they stagger back here. But
when they can so easily be compared to, say, themselves on tour in 1977
on Youtube, it gets ever more, um , poignant to sit through the latter-day
versions.
<snort>
it might be that so many clear thinkers like this thing are present in
the Yes fanbase, that gives HS the idea that their tribute act can
pass for the real thing.

Real thing? HA! Where's their trophy for being sooo special? ...alot
of good it did ....the Blue Meanies broadcast network ain't buyin it;
so what the hell you got
in the minds of all those who would view _the real_ Yes as being
special.
But you do have a point, you COSSHF...maybe it's not so much that Yes
was ever special, but more that tribute "Yes" isn't special at all.
> ...alot
> of good it did ....the Blue Meanies broadcast network ain't buyin it;
> so what the hell you got
one should hope that you'd get over that nonsense, you COSSHF. The
only good music is going to do is of the entertaiment variety...and
maybe that entertainment will sometimes go deep enough for some
people, to be somewhat more than simple entertainment...but, dude,
it's just _not going to change the world_.

Music won't be allowed to change the world...in a good way. John Lennon
said at the end of Yellow Submarine that Blue Meanies have been spotted
outside this theater and the only thing left to do is go out singing.
That Beatles movie had alot to say about society. I guess you must hate
John Lennon. You must think The Beatles didn't know what they were
doing. Blue Meanies were required to say *NO* until The Beatles and the
word *YES* appeared out of nowhere. My field of studies is different
than yours no doubt. I watched Yellow Submarine last night, and I watch
it once in awhile.
that John Lennon was sometimes a very entertaining guy.
> That Beatles movie had alot to say about society. �
apparently The Beatles were more popular than Jesus.
>I guess you must hate John Lennon.
not at all...I own a lot of his records...a lot of Beatles records as
well. I do wonder, however, why he let that Yoko Ono sing on some of
that stuff. Her singing isn't entertaining at all.
>You must think The Beatles didn't know what they were

they clearly knew what they were doing...it's just that what they were
doing was not at all what you think they were doing...you COSSHF.
>Blue Meanies were required to say *NO* until The Beatles and the

that really showed those Blue Meanies, didn't it.
>My field of studies is different than yours no doubt. �
clearly...for example, I have no interest in figuring out how to
collect SSI early...I'm quite happy to work...even if I don't have
to...
>I watched Yellow Submarine last night, and I watch it once in awhile.
well that's really neat, you COSSHF. It's easy to imagine you sitting
in the bus, watching Yellow Submarine...and calling it "studies".
But hey, I've an idea...why don't you include _personal hygiene_ in
your studies and _clean yourself_ once in a while. You might really
benefit from taking that direction.

*Some* critical points of view are aired there, which are tolerated by
a small percentage of inhabitants, but the larger percentage seemed to
feel mortally threatened and then behave like cornered animals,
attacking. The sad part is that over time, it looks like the bulk of
the populace just keep opposing opinion to themselves rather than
brave being ostracized.
Pussies, grow a pair.
Then you also have the sycophants, and since Squire and Squirette will
occasionally read and or post there, they behave as if every post is
meticulously studied by the royal couple. Squirette herself recently
went into cornered animal mode and went off on anyone in earshot that
wasn't properly genuflecting. It was the single most embarrassing
moment I have ever witness on any Yes site.

I suppose it's a good thing that I wouldn't even think of visiting

hmm, so I'll guess you (and whoever "we" might be) somehow know what
Jon's cock looks like. Or maybe you've just imagined it enough times,
so that you think you know how it looks. Is there anything else along

No one's stoppng you from posting your opinions of Jon. Since Jon
didn't invent new YES lyrics, Sullivan's work is done. You don't see
him no more. It was his job to condemn any and all new YES songs....from

really give YES any thought. If the media wanted YES to be a spectacle,
they could have been, long ago. I know they're unique. ....the media
