Oh, and she said this earlier in the day before that quote from above.
"I've been listening to prog all morning at work. I got through Asia and Kansas and was in the middle of King Crimson's "Moonchild" I think, when I left for lunch. Asia and Kansas sound the most familiar to me, at least in general if not specifically the song (Heat of the Moment, Carry on Wayward Son, Dust in the Wind, for example).
Especially with things like "The Spider/Portrait" so far, I'm beginning to realize how much crap is out there on mainstream pop radio, which (sadly enough) is one of the few stations available with our crummy reception at the office. I mean, who uses this amount of effort in modern rock music, as far as the currently played contemporary stuff is concerned?"
I emphasized that last paragraph because it's epically awesome.
Lori plays flute and piano, so I'm going to introduce her to Jethro Tull via Thick as a Brick and not tell her about the flute, and just see what she says.
Come to think of it, I think a mixed cd of great flute stuff is in order. I'm feeling some Marshall Tucker Band and some
Canned Heat.
