Strange Double Bill
This doesn't make sense.
The School of Rock in Bergen County, New Jersey, which teaches children how to play rock music and inspired the 2003 Jack Black film of the same name, actually performed at B.B. King's Blues Club and Grill in Times Square in Manhattan with . . . onetime Yes frontman Jon Anderson?
Dude, if you're goping to teach children how to rock out, why would you let them jam with Jon Anderson?
Yes was one of the most lugubrious bands of the seventies. Their "art rock" wasn't much of either, employing pristine, intricate chords commonly associated with classical music and delving into pretentious, esoteric themes that had nothing to do with the more immediate and direct concerns of rock - or, for that matter , the blues. They were at least as bad an influence on pop as disco.
Anderson was infamous for his Eastern psychobabble lyrics and his unbelievably high (for a rock and roll singer) register. The whole group was a main reason punk had to happen.
At least these kids didn't jam with Emerson, Lake or Palmer. Oooooooooooooooh, what unlucky kids they would have been!
