"Sure" I said and then it happened. A man his wife and two teenage sons appear. Man and wife seemed OK but the kids!!!!!!

One was wearing a Dream Theater T-shirt and the other was wearing a Kings X T-shirt. I nearly flipped my lid but all was not lost.

Just as they joined the tour, one of the horses took that opportunity to take the biggest dump it is possible for a horse to take. Poetic justice I call it. I started laughing and when I explained why I was laughing the group laughed too. The father said very loudly to his sons "See, I told you that music was Horse Shit".

Made my day.

ps. Rick/Spaz you can't morph this thread to a Kings X thread as I did it for you.

Which is exactly why I take my son to prog event with me...

My dear friend VAXman....are you telling me that you allow your son (who I have met, remember) to wear T-shirts like that????? I doubt it. By the way...Pam and I saw the Aussie Pink Floyd the other day and they were BRILLIANT!!!! Just as you said they would be.

We took our teenage niece and nephew along as a treat (for them) and I have a feeling that we have a couple of new prog fans in tow.

They were the ones that thought Uncle K was having a fit to 'Brainstorm' at the party. Maybe I should let them come to the next Nik Turner gig.

Say no more, eh?

No, to sway him away fom noise like that.

FWIW, I do have a DT T-shirt... I wear it because it's tie-dye. It has only a tour list on the back. The only time I really could tolerate DT was when they opened for YES and then, only when LaFrenchCheese was off the stage not squealing.

...and how about the set of "lungs" on the babe that did The Great Gig in the Sky?

Surely there's tie-dye's without DT......I think you secretly have pictures of LaBrie....

Well, I guess I gotta step in a minute. I think DREAM THEATER is a GREAT band, with TONS of talent..........not many drummers on Portnoy's level........well, heck.......that's a wonderful thing about freedom of choice and expression........King's X, on the other hand.........don't really know 'em

Let's get together soon and discuss them. I'll lend you a few King's X CD's. You will love them.
