Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I had a student a few years ago write a paper on 2112 and … something about politics and culture of the 1970s. He suggested I listen to the album while reading his paper. I said, "There's not way in hell that's going to happen." He knew that I hated Rush, so he just laughed. It was a decent-ish paper, as I recall.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Those guys are in their mid 70s, lookin pretty damn good i gotta say. Not skimping on the hair dye probably, but still.
Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Sparks brothers.
And Low Down Low nailed it, no skimping on hair dye anywhere in that picture.

If you decide you want to know a bit more about them, there's a thread here about a documentary that came out recently.
I'm not necessarily a fan of their music, but I do want to see the film.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Fucking fabulous. I love Sparks.
I love the anecdote from the 70s when they were on TOTP or something and John Lennon called George Harrison and said "Turn on the TV. Marc Bolan is singing with Hitler."
