This episode begins something I've wanted to do for a long time, and aural history of rock and roll and rock music. In this episode, I break down the music specifically called "Rock and Roll" without getting specifically involved in the cultural part of it.

Today, we talk about the Classic Progressive Rock band, Yes. I also go on a rant about how rock music often steals from and exploits black music and musicians, which may or may not have anything to do with Yes. Yes is a good band and very enjoyable. Listen to their music.

The Who's Pete Townshend had a pretty interesting solo career and in this episode I talk about the highlights, especially Empty Glass, All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes and Scoop.
