John Wetton, prog star with King Crimson and Asia, died today. Prog rock seems to have taken a mortal coil hammering in the past year.
Unfortunately the innovators are not progging as well as their music.

Did he also have a short spell in the band UK ? Sure I had a single (showing my age) by them

I downloaded a Jethro Tull playlist on Spotify last week.
Not my thing. It was like someone has given Robin Hood and his merry men an electric guitar and a flute. Very odd.

Listen to Focus my friend. Like the above but with added yodelling and a Dutch accent.

The single I had was Nothing to Lose and it was very good but more pop than prog. Asia v Yes if you will.
Ha ha they were brilliant Chew, they were on an archive BBC programme recently and my missus who didn't remember them said what the **** is that, I think it is fair to say they were a wee bit different,good but different.
Springbok rugby legend Joost van der Vesthuizen passed away today after a long struggle with illness. Cracking player in his day. Got to be one of the finest scrum halves to ever play the game.

...wow, that is a shock. Fine, big handsome and brilliant rugby player. I didn't know he suffered from such an awful illness. Hopefully it's not a legacy of his playing days, I presume it isn't. Very sad.

He had it for five years I think...normally don't survive anywhere near that long..an indication of his strength.
Somehow feels wrong a rugby player dying of a disease which causes muscle wastage amongst other things. Truly awful dieease

I loved Jethro Tull but Focus took it to another level mate. Listen to Elspeth of Nottingham with headphones on and eyes shut, and you'll swear you were in King John's court. Brilliant.
