this statement is so asinine it doesn’t warrant any comment. therefore, do not read this post.
*4:50 Aahhhhhhhhhh…
You know it to be true. It makes a virtue of no beginning and no end. Simply that it is so intricate and masterful that you can clip it at both ends and keep it coherent, give it some movements and whatnot.
But there is no… No…
Like look. This is complicated, but it doesn’t… It doesn’t stop caring. It doesn’t begin to consider itself more important than message:

If it is lost, it knows itslef lost. It doesn’t then damn direction or message. Lost is the message. Where prog rock you’re like. This is good. But what the fuck did the guy just say? I dunno…
wait i wasn’t finished. i want to inform you of a mystery that has baffled rush enthusiasts for decades… and that is the mystery of prince by-tor. in the necromancer, he appears as the champion and destroys the necromancer… and yet in this song he’s the evil villian who is bested by the snow dog.
you can’t imagine how many dude’s in flannel shirts and faded jeans who never took that final step into maturity and cut their hair, are still sitting in their mother’s basement to this day scratching their heads over this mystery.
but this one is balls to the wall too, dude. sabbath can’t jam like this. neither can zeppelin. believe that. in fact, you won’t find a better bassist/drummer duo in all of old rock that can carry each other like peart and lee can.

Goddamn. There is music and then there is John Coltrane.
But I believe you actually, so let’s take a listen.
The point about Sabbath is that they are message geniouses. That’s why their reach is far wider than Rush or even Led or anybody.
let’s do. the battle begins at 1:46, and you better get out of the way. by-tor and the snow dog are about to get it in, bro.
Well gee, thanks. I already heard the whole thing.
Still, the mistery shone through…
By-Tor…
Fuck, enough Rush.
Let’s wash it down with the Theloniest Monk.

Good taste as always. The strings as an extension of earth.
I’ve seen that album credited to Fred McDowell as well, so who knows.
But I’m not putting any sugar in my coffee this morning.
If I played maracas, I’d probably play them like that guy.
