NPR interviewed author David Weigel, trying to straddle the fence a bit, but conveying an unmistakable mocking tone... Weigel says "I've always liked this progressive rock that is not critically respected or has been written out of rock history - not completely, but written as sort of a hilarious little hurdle for real musicians to get over." He was hawking his crappy new book (surprise!) "The Show That Never Ends: The Rise And Fall Of Prog Rock." I hope the 10,000 copies he paid to have printed cause the floor of his crappy apartment collapse, plunging him into a well-deserved pile of rubble from which nauseating K-pop or "Vocal Electronic Music" continues to be heard, playing eerily from his partially-crushed iPod.
