1. The use of drugs by musicians of the 1960s, a tradition they inherited from the older blues and jazz players, led to the birth of psychedelic music and culture. How did this music influence the development of recording studio techniques as well as musical structure?
2. Many of the progressive rock musicians, unlike the previous generation of 60s rockers, had studied at universities, often in the classical music program. Do you think that the reason progressive rock is not broadly popular today is due to the decline in the quality of education and ‘thinking' in our contemporary society, or is it simply because most people just want to rock-out and dance, instead of being challenged into "listening" to the music? (Like getting an organic healthy meal when all you want is a fast-food burger). Do you feel that short-attention-span and immediate gratification, common characteristics of our times, have a role in this?
