Actually, that isn't quite what you might think it is... it IS a quote from "When Harry Met Sally," but it's more than that.
Went to a "Yes" concert... for those of you who don't know WHO the group is, it's a progressive rock band that's been around since 1968. 35 years later, they're still rocking and still good. That's probably very good considering they survived the disco era and the 80s "glam rock", though the band's biggest hit ("Owner Of A Lonely Heart") was released around 1983.
Having grown up on the AM side of the radio dial and only switching to FM in the early 80s or so, I didn't recognize a lot of the songs in the concert except for two: Owner Of A Lonely Heart (their #1 single, natch) and Roundabout (the band's encore).
What's also cool is that the band has also worked with symphony orchestras. Considering that I was in orchestra in high school (I played violin), I was especially interested in how the orchestra backed up the band... especially since symphony orchestras typically play classical music. Doesn't mean they can't play pop or rock, though.
In any case, I'm gonna sign off now... kinda tired, gonna get some sleep!
