#1 The news has shocked and stunned the entire Yes family

There are no gentle reminders of mortality. How long before the major social media platforms declare death announcements are "triggering?"

#2 72 ain't bad for a rock & roller, although I don't think prog rock musicians partied like Motley Crüe types or guys in Aerosmith.

#3 Going to guess just touring is hard on a body. Bad hours, bad air, bad food.

#4 But, I'd also guess, the excitement of being on stage somewhat makes up for it. All of life is trade-offs.

Saw YES several times in concert, the 70's.

Also great to listen to on the 8 track while parking ☺.

#7 The drum bit for John Lennon is one that I regularly cite as unlistenable. That's easily one of the muddiest drum sounds I've ever heard.
