The possessive form of "its/it's" has no apostrophe. Only the contraction of "it is" does.

Once more: Prog freaking fest!!!!!!!!!

HRH Prog 4!


RosFest

Prog Power USA (Sold out)


How could these festivals survive, never mind thrive, if prog was not popular? And will you please, for the love of all that is holy, stop talking about people making music on computers as if everyone is doing it? You do know these bands all play live, right? And they aren't all sitting pushing computer mice around. They're playing those very same instruments you keep putting them down for not playing.

Why won't you listen? You just keep rolling off on new tangents and ignoring or refusing to deal with ANY questions that have been put to you. You're now telling us a "big prog band" couldn't fill 50 seats? And yet you refuse (again) to say who they are. How convenient. You've swerved my question as to how big bands such as I mentioned can be called "minnows", and it's almost like you're just talking to yourself and not listening to anyone else. Maybe it's pointless talking to you. Maybe I'll stop trying, as it's a waste of energy.

But this much is true:
You
Are
Wrong.

Prog is alive and thriving, as evidenced above.

Thriving?

Steve Hackett didn't even sell out a 500 seat venue in San Francisco last year…and tickets were only like $40.

Your kidding right?

Collect all the best prog bands in the world, put them in one theater for a weekend, and maybe sell out once a year. OK…. that's cool but hardly thriving.

I wish it wasn't true believe me.

On the other hand, someone shouts DJ! and you have 10,000 kids clambering to get into an electronic festival. Something has gone terrible wrong.

Come on, man. It's not like I personally insulted him.
Nothing wrong with being a little facetious if people bask in ignorance as enthusiastically as he does.

Perhaps he was unsure whether the kidding was Trollheart's.
