For Yes fans...

...or I guess more accurately, Jon Anderson fans. I'm not even sure how I found this interview. Actually, I do know. YouTube fed me a clip of a portion of the interview and one of the Comments within led me to the full interview. It's Dan Rather interviewing Jon Anderson, and it's really quite good. I believe it's from 2019.

Wow. That brings back a blast from the way back machine. Like summer solstice 1975 way back. Got recruited to see Yes at the HoBo w/ bunch of old UCLA buddies. Merch booth babe really took a liking to younger me, and loaded me up Yes t-shirts, posters, cassette tapes, and her phone number. She ended up being too much of a doper for my puritan tastes back then, plus, I had just recently met a tall (5' 10") OC hottie who would shortly thereafter become my GF for the next almost five years.

The posters were first to go, then the cassette tapes, though I don't remember what happened to every one of 'em; I'm sure the old Blaupunkt head unit in my (what would now be) vintage Buick Regal happily dined on them along the way. The t-shirts were the real winners from the merch haul. I did give a few away shortly after the concert, but the several I kept lasted long enough for Baby Buzz to wear them as "sleeping shirts" (as differentiated from pajamas) into the mid 00's..... so ~30 years was a pretty good run.

If not already familiar with them, Yes fans might like Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe

random thought: Bill Bruford is posting tons of rare stuff of the bands he's been in. Loads a real gems: https://www.youtube.com/@BillBruford/videos
