Love you

Tony thanking his Margaret with an almost broken voice and smiling at her just as if he was saying "we did it, we finally did it" is one of the best and most touching things I've ever seen. I LOVE YOU, ANTHONY, I LOVE YOU

I just want to share my joy and happiness about Tony winning the PROG GOD AWARD. This is the most deserved award ever, finally acknowledging him for what he did for the Music and for all of us. I'm in tears because I am so happy for him and I don't know how to express how proud I feel. We are proud of you, my lovely and precious Anthony. I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU.

Thanks everyone who helped me gather these photos! I just felt like putting them all in one set because I have a thing about collecting photoshoots from the same day and all.

Warning: this much dorkitude in one place may be dangerous to your health. View these photos with caution.

I'm still so shocked and saddened. I cannot even explain the emptiness I feel.

Per qualche motivo non trovavo più il tuo profilo, ma sono felicissima di averlo ritrovato! Spero che vada tutto bene e ti mando tanti saluti! ♥

Latito un po' negli ultimi tempi, è vero! Ultimamente ho aggiornato un pochino, però! Grazie per il messaggio, un abbraccio! :-)

I really want to say that is great being part of this amazing (prog-)community. Sharing our feelings and emotions is always the best medicine for everything. After what happened yesterday, I realized that we are really close, in a way, to each other and that we really share something here. We share the good things and also, sometimes, the bad things. And it’s a kind of support for everyone, knowing that, if you are sad for something, you’re not alone and there are a lot of other people sharing your same sadness and that there’s a lot of people who understand you. I’m really thankful for that, for having the chance to share my feelings when it comes to music (and musicians). Music is the most important thing for me and being able to share my love is great. With that being said, I still want to send a big hug to the people out there still in shock (as I am!) for Chris Squire’s passing.

I know nothing official has come out yet but I doubt very much that Geoff would be misinformed. I am posting here just in case anyone hadn’t seen. I am absolutely shocked and heartbroken. My hands are shaking as I write this and I am sure any minute now it’ll sink in.

The whole prog squad needs to come together and celebrate the amazing life and incredible talent of one of the greatest bass players to ever live not just in prog history, but in music history. Let’s all spread love and positivity to everyone who loved Chris and remember this incredible man.

Rest in peace, Fish. Schindleria Praematurus.

Calling All Stations

Dear Genesis Community,

here it comes the difficult question: What do you think of Calling All Stations? Calling All Stations is always held is the lowest esteem as possible by Genesis fans, mostly by the so called “purists”. How do you like it? what do you really think about it? Have you ever heard it? And if not, why not? I must say that, obviously, it is not my favorite Genesis album, but I actually think that some great songs are in there. I really appreciate Banks & Rutherford effort to go on without the most famous member and I appreciate that they really took the risks to do that. As I said, this is a really hated album, but I can’t understand this feeling. It is not their best, but it is surely worth a try... even more than just one! :) So, if you want, let me know what you think! :)
