I see them every time they swing through my state. Steve Howe is a guitar god. Never miss a chance to see your heroes! People who get pedantic about the lineup can pound sand.

The “worst” thing about seeing Yes is the frequency of old guys squeezing by on their way to the restroom. But I know they can’t help it and so I just remind myself that they love Yes, too. The best thing is seeing young people appreciating this terrific band their grandparents enjoyed.

One of my favor moments as a parent was waking up one morning to the strains of my teenager mastering “Starship Trooper” on his guitar.
