Prog bands in the 70's had the attention of mainstream music listeners.
They lost that attention. Now that energy has moved to electronica event.

Again, what the **** does your point add up to? Music moves on. Prog hit a zenith and it was awesome. And then it wore down. Disco hit a zenith too.

Your point alludes me totally.

There is a reason for this. Open your ears and have a listen.

What ARE you talking about? Yes did 90125, which had their biggest hit on it. Genesis did, um, Genesis and Marillion had some of their best albums in the last few years. Anyway, what IS the "digital era"? CDs have been around since the 1980s.

Nearfest was always losing money. It was an act of philanthropy really.

How could something that always sold out be losing money? Philanthropy? To whom? In any case, once again you avoid the other prog festivals that are doing really well, to focus on one that folded.

Exactly. It eludes me too. You can't expect music to stand still. Oh and again, thanks for avoiding all my other points, not that I had expected anything other than this from you at this point.

Here you go: I hope you'll be very happy in 1974.
