        True. But it’s funny how he says that he’s never listened to TFTO, or his successor on Danger Money. Not even curious.
        Could just be expression talk.

          Yep. Gobsmackin' stuff.

          Out of professional curiosity, I would have thought he would've listened to both.

          I get the feelin' Bruford "curates" his existance to a large degree. Likes the honorific of Professor or whatever he fancies. Since I'm readin' memoirs, should get round to his.

            I have to say I kind of understand him. Whenever I moved on from a job, whether by own choice or forced, I didn't tend to look back or stay in contact with former coworkers, even though I usually have some good coworker relationships, or anything, nor do I keep actively following the company I worked for. When I move om, I move on

                "The problem facing Yes was being increasingly driven by the business side, relying on expediency rather than artistic decisions. “The band has always consumed money fast and therefore needs more money coming in and therefore has to maintain a profile. So at that point, you’re becoming more and more beholden to money people in suits and you’ve got to play and provide what’s wanted."
                Sometimes the lights all shining on me, other times I can barely see.
                Lately it occurs to me what a long strange trip it’s been.

                  Curates his existence. I like that , applies to Bill. In a funny endearing way, because you sense an innocent sincerity. Gummy is kicking in, many gotta do some earthworks or Fragile.

                    Yeah, that was Yes certainly at the beginning of the 90s probably through to the early 2000's. I think now this is far less the case. Mainly because the two founders of Yes were also the biggest spenders and often the most in need for money.
