Yes! Never heard of the ATE, but sounds fun. As a teenager, I embraced weirdness by listening to progressive bands like Yes and Genesis (I still do) with their 18-minute trips while everyone else was into Led Zeppelin and Def Leppard. There's something about doing things a "little off" from what everyone else is doing.
Yeah they’re really good! Hard to describe but a bit like a cross between The Cure and The Jesus and Mary Chain. I have to confess I haven’t listened much to Yes or Genesis, but I’ll have to check them out!
An 18-minute song asks quite a lot of someone 😂 Do you remember what first pulled you into those bands? I’m curious whether you loved the music immediately or whether part of the appeal was finding something that felt like yours.
Very nice researched piece Colin. It’s interesting you mention In & Out. My wife and I are on the board of GAP Ministries in Tucson. It was picked by In & Out as the non-profit of the year out of the 200 they support. All their executives came out to celebrate.
The detail about all the executives coming out is lovely. What did that celebration look like? I’m curious what they took the time to notice about your work.
Thanks for sharing @David McIlroy!

The only song I’ve listened to that long is Alice’s Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie. An American classic!

Thanks for restacking, James! I looked up that ministry. It looks pretty cool. That’s amazing that it won that award!
Yeah I haven’t actually been to an In-n-Out in about 7 years, but it was a big part of my childhood in California.

Never heard of the band! I will look them up 👍
They’re a good one! Sometime Around Midnight is probably their best. This is one of their early performances of it.
