were all chumsy with Paul Beaver and his Moog synth...being as they were

this mean we finally have found someone to blame Emerson, Lake & Palmer on? 
Or are they still just a by-product of the post-apocalyptic-mod years... 
Cheers all, Nick

Hey! Say what you will about Lake and Palmer, but leave Keith Emerson out of 
this! By-product of post-apocalyptic mod years? Probably. But c�mon... at 
least he (in The Nice) ditched that menace to popular music (and probably 
young girls and the fellow homeless) P.J. Proby...as The Monkee�s have to 
their credit a keen ability to lip-lynch (unlike P.J. Proby...ever seen the 
Beat Beat Beat performance he did? �Who let this wino in!�)...
OK, that was a bit of a tangent...where was I? Oh yeah, The Monkee�s �we are 
too a real band!!!� phase, which seemed to climax with making Head. Which 
is, IMHO, simultaneously the best and worst this they ever did, which is 
still better than LOOKING at P.J. Proby. for 3 minutes, much less 30 minute 
weekly installments...which harkens back to why 1/3 of ELP in not all bad...
I guess I didn�t have a point. Sorry folks, have a good weekend.
Doug
