Progressive Music discussed at Coors Field


Odd conversation heard at the ballpark. Attended the Rockies home opener yesterday with a couple of the Pindral guys and another friend. There were two guys behind us talking music...one guy says there's so much music these days that defies traditional categorization, take the band Tool he says. One might say they are industrial or maybe progressive rock. He then says he thinks they are heavy progressive rock. They continue to talk and Rush comes up and the one guy says he likes them because they make complex yet accessible music and do amazing instrumentals like XYZ...then the guy sitting next to me who was obviously eavesdropping too looks back and corrects the guy...that's YYZ. Never thought I'd hear anyone utter the term "progresive rock" at the ball park. They also talked about Roger Water's Radio Kaos. Later, Steve Finley comes up to bat late in the game and Tom Sawyer is his "batting music." Pretty cool.
