Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

Just to say,  this is still ... well, "genius" is far too generous a word, but comically and darkly relatable. I often put it on repeat for a day as a weird sort of reminder/motivator that for quite a while now, most of the time, the "internet" puts me in a worse mood than before, for a myriad of reasons.  Hubby kept remarking "You must have been on the 'net today" because apparently I'd always get extra cranky or misanthrope-y etc, haha.  I largely stay off the 'net now, except for occasional streaming-TV/YouTube short skit binges.  And this forum.  😛

Anyway, the song is also simply catchy and carnival like or something and I like it.  Edit: should probably say there's some language.

A bit of 80's nostalgia...

I actually knew Jon from his collaborations with Vangelis before I heard Yes

Edit: That was a decade and a half before the internet

Amazing to think that the Yes of Fragile and Close to the Edge went and wrote Owner of a Lonely Heart. Which is a great song.

am feeling no need to apologize for enjoying 90125, big generator and talk. 

HA! Good Fun!

Surely there's nothing to apologize for. 90125 is mostly very good. Yes is a great band. Heck, even the first non-Jon album Drama is excellent. The synth sounds are a bit cheesy, but the songwriting is first rate.

An old song by my favourite Faeroese songbird
