Imagine in your head that a US sponsor of cooking shows is holding a televised National Sushi Making contest. After months and months and endless months of weekly competitions, those in the running have been narrowed down to [...]

Image Source Judging from this picture, I’d say somebody has a pretty healthy sense of humor about having his arm bitten off by a shark.
Rick Wakeman, enigmatic and Arthurian keyboard player for Yes, was born on this day in 1949. Favorite massively overwrought Wakeman-era keyboard riff from a song by Yes: the climax to “Heart of The Sunrise.” Happy Birthday, Rick!
