    I hope this doesn't come out all funky, I've never posted to the jam from
    work before through Outlook.

    Hey, has anybody transcribed the keyboard part for State of Grace? If so,
    could you please e-mail it to me? *Dan bats his big puppy dog eyes* Pretty
    Please. :-)

    How come there's no tab books for LTE 1 & 2 and ACoS?

    He's not kidding. You need to read more Douglas Adams -- who, by the
    way, is a genius. If you like comedy and science fiction, and want to
    see them skillfully combined, pick up Hitchhiker's Guide to the
    Galaxy, and then the second, third, and fourth books of the trilogy.
    Brilliant stuff.

    Well said! As time goes by all will see that sticking to genres definition is tricky, and it can 'cause problems. I have a cousin, jazz academy graduate, who had huge fusion band back in 80s, and he gets sick when I say something in that manner. I know, ... I already could feel the problems of trying to define someone's art into certain category, and I'm fully aware of it, but naturally when we speak to somebody we use these terms prog, pop, metal, rock. And few times happened I spoke with him, he reacted very sharp about NOT sticking to categories. lol, he asked me who I'm going to see live upcoming 19-th July at Budapest, I say Dream Theater, on which he goes "What the play?", and I replied few sentences also using the term "progressive rock". He almost ridiculed me "Woooaaah, progressive eh?" He later teased me couple of times, "Nah, CyberDuke won't do this-and-this, he has PROGRESSED now!" :) To hell with him. :)

    Bah, anyway, conclusion: It DOES help in libraries and categorizing matters, but is definitely not a perfect way of shelving art.

    Is this band for real? I mean, wouldn't there be MAJOR copyright infringements here? Unless of course they don't play for money. Anyway, that website was an absolute riot! It''d bound to bring up a whole new who's better thread: Jordan or Boba Fett?!

    No, he doesn't. If you people had read the Hitch-Hiker's Guide books by Douglas Adams, you'd know where the joke was coming from.

    Summing up, for those who haven't:

    -- Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything: "42".

    -- Question to the Ultimate Answer: "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?"

    -- Response by Ford Prefect and Arthur Dent: "Six by nine. Is that it?" "That's it. Six by nine, forty-two. Something certainly got screwed up somewhere."

    -- Useless trivia: Six multiplied by nine does indeed equal forty-two if calculated in base thirteen.

    Don't know how many of you have (or still do) read the X Men comics, but I just came back from the movie and I must say they did an EXCELLENT job in translating it over. Easily the best "comic to movie" since the first Batman. The guy who played Wolverine was a suprisingly good actor, but besides him and the two Shakespearians, the others were kinda flat (no matter, the scriptwriters were smart and gave everyone else fewer lines...I don't even recall Sabretooth speaking once). Oh yeah, Rogue and Jean Grey were pretty hot too :). Go see it!

    Not really...

    >Ummm...You meant to say the question, right? And, some multiplying!

    Ok, I admit it, I was a bit inaccurate. We apologize for the inconvenience.

    This is what I really should have said:

    The Answer to Life, the universe and everything is 42. The Question to the Answer is: What do you get if you multiply six by nine?

    There. If you don't believe me, don't panic. Read the book.

    I was listening to 93X radio out of Minnesota last night and they have a show"Metal Detector", they often play stuff from new or undergroud metal groups. They featured Fates Warning on last nights program. The DJ made a statement that caught my attention,"Fates Warning created the genre' of Prog Metal". I wondered what you all think of that statement!

    You can't imagine how silly I feel. I read the hitchhiker books about 10 years ago. And while 42 being the answer has been permanently ingrained in my head, somehow the conversation surrounding it is missing. Perhaps someone has done some fiddling with my brain.

    I apologize for any inconvenience. This should be a lesson for everyone watching. If you don't have something nice to type, don't type anything at all. You may end up looking like an ass.
