Merry Christmas to all my fans. I hope you get all the prog box sets you desire

I’m very much looking forward to all the Jeremys and Belindas going to this new Bob Dylan movie ‘out of curiosity’, then buying his greatest hits and going to see him live, only to not recognise any of the songs

Oh my giddy aunt! A Fish cover story, calendar, and postcards! Christmas has indeed come early

Same re discovering Dokken

I have a dilemma. Given that this is a positive place, am I allowed to give out about dreadful music?
