The Person From Porlock Mustn't Have Been A Prog Rock Fan. ("Prog On A Friday").

"Oh no!" " Oh yes". It's  that time of the week again folks.  The day when I write about my favourite Prog bands.  Today it's the Canadian Rock giants Rush.  Toronto's finest and a band I'm fortunate to have seen live.  I think it was the "Roll The Bones" tour at Birmingham NEC in 1992?  I am told I have also seen them in Sheffield?

One of my favourite Rush records is "Farewell To Kings."  This incidentally was recorded at Rockfield studios in Wales.  The same place where Bohemian Rhapsody was recorded

One of my favourite tracks off that album is Xanadu.   No not the one by Olivia Neutron Bomb.  This song is based on the Poet Samuel Taylor Coleridges "Kubla Khan".  The twelfth century Mongol leader who built a domed palace called: "Xanadu".  Mr Coleridge took some Opium and fell to sleep and woke up and started frantically  writing down his dream.  Unfortunately  the person from Porlock knocked on his door and he forgot a jolly big portion of his epic dream adventure.  Fortunately  it's still a masterpiece of a poem and so is the Rush track and album.

It's  an epic track (eleven minutes)with lots of instrumental bits like synthesizers....?  But it's well worth a listen by a classic "Prog" band.    Some people call "Progressive"  Rock music "Cerebral" Rock.  I can see why.

Please give it a whirl or listen:


Just look what the Person From Porlock  missed?

  1. I want to listen to it now but I am sitting in the front room and we have got the telly on. "She" would not want music to come from the laptop right now. She might stab me with one of her lethal knitting needles or whip me as in "The Legend of Xanadu" by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.

  2. I listen to music through headphones we once bought in the Algarve. I think bachelor's should check out their other half's record collection/CDS before they tie the knot.

    I just played the Mary, Mungo and Midge, Dave Dee,Dozy, Beaky,Mick and Rich track. I knew it but didn't know the song title.

    Do listen to the song track by Rush when you get chance YP. I'm sure you know the literary connection. Thanks.

  4. Hi the veg artist. Yes it a wonderful poem and picture of paradise. I have visited Dove Cottage in Grasmere where he visited the Wordsworths and I would love to visit where Samuel Taylor Coleridge lived in Devon. That's definitely on my "to do" list. Thanks.

I was cured, I suffered from HIV for 13 years but with the help of Dr. Mark herbal medicine, I was cured within a few weeks of drinking the herbs he sent to me through courier delivery service. This same doctor also cured my Aunty from herpes, as soon as I heard she had herpes, I quickly refer her to Dr.Mark and she was cured too after drinking his herbs.I have referred a lot of people to Dr. Mark and they were all cured from their various illness. Have you taken herbs before?. You have spent so much money on drugs,injections,surgeries etc and yet you have no good result to show for it.

  15. Thanks to Doctor Razor for the Great miraculous work he did in my life with his herbal remedy. I have been living with this virus and I have shared with my partners my situation because they deserve to have a choice of whether they want to change being with me or not. I unfortunately did not have a choice in this matter leaving me vulnerable and now faced with this virus for the rest of my life or until a cure was discovered.I refused to take the Medical drugs my PCD have told me to take, I surrendered to my fate, because I was careless. Late on at night, Feb 13 2017, I came across Doctor Razor herbal medicine. I browsed about the authenticity of This Doctor, I got to see several Testimonies regarding his works from people he had helped with his medicine. i reached out to him and told him my problems, after we spoke he promised to help me out. I started using his herbal medicine which he sent to me Via the Courier Delivery, and asked me to take the herbal medicine for 18 days. which i did. I am delighted to let you all know that I Got cured of Herpes Virus, after the Medical Doctor had confirmed this with the test results, when I went for a medical check up after completing the Herbal Dosage Of 18 days.

  16. Herpes can be treated and cured permanently but only few believe it. I was diagnosed of HSV few years ago, my doctor told me there is no permanent cure for the disease, i was given antiviral medication to reduce the outbreak of the virus, at the initial stage it was not so bad till it progressed to the end middle stage were i had difficulties going about my daily functions I was totally devastated till I saw a comment about Dr. festus , who have used herbal medicines to cure virus like HERPES, HPV, ALS, when I contacted Dr. festus via email, after a few discussion, he prepared the medicine and ship it to me, when I received the herbal medicine, I took it according to his instructions, few weeks later I went to the hospital to have a blood test and the test came back negative, i was cured and free from this Virus... That is why I am sharing my testimony so that people can also contact him for help, via his email: drfestusherbalsolutioncentre@gmail.com or

  18. I NEVER BELIEVED IN HERBS BUT DOCTOR RAZOR MADE ME A BELIEVER. Massive Gratitude to doctor Razor who got my Genital Herpes cured a month ago. I got diagnosed with herpes on , 2017.  I have been reading so many comments of some people who were cured from various diseases by Doctor Razor, but I never believed them. I was hurt and depressed, I was too curious and wanted to try Doctor Razor, then I contacted him through his email (drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com) when I contacted him, he assured me 100% that he will heal me, I pleaded with him to help me out. I Visited his website :https://herbalistrazorherb.wixsite.com/drrazorherbalhome     My treatment was a great success, he healed me just as he promised. He sent me his medication and asked me to go for check up after 18 days of taking his herbal medicine. I agreed with him and I took his medication and went for check up, to my greatest surprise my result came out negative after the treatment, I'm really delighted that i'm completely cured and healthy again. I waited for a month to be very sure I was completely healed before writing this testimony. I did another blood test one week ago and it was still Herpes negative. so i guess it's time i recommend anyone going through Herpes HSV-1 or HSV-2, HIV, HPV, Hepatitis B, Diabetes, Cancer should reach him.
