Day 3: 

Previously in PRSC... 

The boys in Genesis, Rush and King Crimson continue to progress and gain a tiny bit more comfort in their… difficult conditions.  

Tensions within the Yes and ELP camps reach an all-time high. Steve Howe does a runner and reaches ‘The Court of The Crimson King’ by midnight. (Keyboard wizard) Rick Wakeman and (Fish) Chris Squire plan their well-needed escapes... 

Death count: 0 

In The Court of The Crimson King...  Steve reached the camp late last night and has since been welcomed by all members of it (except Broof, who tries to ignore him following his awkward exit from Yes). He is put to work with John and David in doing various dull, laborious tasks overseen by Fripps right-hand-percussion-men, Bill and Jamie Muir who are ‘keeping them in check’. Although Steve feels tired, he also finds the structure, safety and sense of community that he felt was lacking with Yes. We cannot say the same for John and David.

Meanwhile in ‘Epping Forest’...

This is the supper of the mighty one! Genesis eat well tonight as (during a particularly long prance around the woods) Peter found nice, ripe fruit on the forest floor (little does the band know that Jon dropped it earlier that day, made clumsy by his consumption of the mushrooms). Tony is spending hours a day perfecting each detail of the entrancing face of his Etch-a-Sketch recreation of the Mona Lisa.  Phil, Steve and Mike have managed to make primitive fishing rods out of the spare guitar strings that Steve forgot he brought (also forgetting to bring his guitar). Good one guys!

Rushing over to another camp…

Their fishing may be less effective (standing in the river and lashing out at any passing fish. In the event that one is caught, the band all stress out as to how to kill the thing) but, the three companionable Canadians of Rush continue their hygienic progress. The band have exhausted their camping supply of bottled drinking water and sadly, in the wilderness the band cannot dine on honeydew or drink the milk of paradise. Luckily Neil remembered a 7th grade science lesson he had where he was taught that boiling water kills all dangerous microorganisms and disinfects it. He removes the camping stove and small pot from his bag, fills the pot with water from the cleanest part of the river he could find and begins to boil…

Close to the Edge, Down By the River…

Near the ‘pretty view’ of the river Jon selected, Yes are crumbling to some extent. Steve asked Jon if he could go over to The Court yesterday and Jon reluctantly agreed and let him go. Steve didn’t mean it personally but I think Jon took it that way (poor guy). Meanwhile, Rick is getting fed up with waiting around for Jon and Alan to get vegetarian food when he could eat as much meat as he likes (though in reality, he is far too lazy to do so). Chris isn’t a fan of Jon’s leadership style. Its a sort of strange hotchpotch between Hippy and autocratic that he doesn’t like. All the while, it doesn’t help that Jon has found some magic mushrooms and spends quite a lot of his time in ‘dreamland’. He and Rick have planned to leave the camp to find ELP next time Jon and Chris go out gathering together.

In the ELP camp... 

The last few hours have been somewhat monotonous at the ELP camp. The band’s relationship is fractured (particularly Keith and Greg’s). Morale is dipping sub-zero, and Carl still hasn’t figured out the drum part for Karn-Evil 9 so instead of making useful progress to prolong their lives, the half-starved threesome chose to discuss new project ideas for ‘when all this forest crap is out of the way’. One could call this a useful conversation to keep up hope and distract them. They could also call it valuable time and energy wasted that will eventually lead to their doom. Either way, in their hungry, delirious state discussion is getting heated quickly. Carl leaves early to actually try and help them survive, and is also hurt by the two of them calling him a ‘shit Buddy Rich knockoff’. 

The issue on the table currently is Greg’s suggestion, ‘Love Beach 2 (Electric Boogaloo)’. This thought seems to be sending Keith into something of a violent frenzy. 

I will spare the details of the real-time commentary for the next few minutes. This passage is written in retrospect: Keith and Greg got into a physical confrontation which included a lot of punches from Keith and in the process, Greg hit his head on a large protruding rock in the wood’s undergrowth and by the time Carl returned from his mission of trying to keep them alive, and managed to pry Keith away from his friend, it was too late. 

The two of them aren’t talking as they submerge the body into the dark, cold river water. What he has done is beginning to dawn on Keith and he has been battling with his tears since they left to the water. All Carl can think about is that his friend and bandmate is a ‘fucking murderer’. He must negotiate a way away from this knife-wielding maniac. Luckily, upon return to the camp, he recognises two new, trustworthy silhouettes, CHRIS AND RICK!!! He is currently having a private discussion with the two of them featuring sentences like, ‘Guys please get me out of here. He’s a crazy madman with a knife. I’m gonna die’. Chris sensibly responds in a hushed voice, ‘We could always give those Canadian kids a go?’. And that is the plan for the three of them... 

That’s all for today, so we’ll see you tomorrow for... 

The Prog Rock Survival Competition!

Storch: Mingo County Case Could Alter W.Va. Elections Forever

On June 7, 2011, Marshall County resident Bob Miller sent a Letter to the Editor titled, “Learn About Redistricting” in which he thanked Delegates Storch and Ferns for hosting a joint Town Hall and encouraging people to attend as the legislature was working on the year’s redistricting. This columnist was honored to serve on two redistricting committees, the first in 2011 as a freshman member of the legislature.  Included in the letter were several links to help residents prepare to attend the Town Hall and some information pertaining to redistricting. One of those links was to an editorial piece written (May 28, 2011) by The Intelligencers’ Editor J. Michael Myer, titled “Let’s Just Move Mason County.” During the 2011 redistricting, Mason County moved from the Second to the Third Congressional District. This is a different flip.   A few weeks ago, the West Virginia Senate saw four of its incumbent senators not re-elected. These include Senate President Craig Blair, local Senate Health Chairman Mike Maroney, Senate self-proclaimed antagonist Robert Karnes, and a Southern Senator Chandler Swope representing the Sixth District. Swope was first elected in 2016, following Bill Cole, who ran for governor that year.  With Senator Swope turning 82 this year, at face value, this could be seen as a reason the Senator was not successful, although difficult to fathom with other current candidates on the ballot. There were three candidates in that race, which could also be a reason the votes did not fall in the senator’s favor. Oftentimes, incumbency comes with a certain advantage, but multi-candidate races can be challenging. As has been seen in the City of Wheeling municipal races, every vote counts.  Senator Swope and former Del. Eric Porterfield are both from Mercer County, and the prevailing candidate, Craig Hart, is from Mingo County. But now, the senator has filed an official challenge to the result, alleging there is evidence to support Democrats voting in Republican races, as well as other election issues.  This recent spotlight cast on Mingo County raises serious concerns about the integrity and transparency of local elections.  Mingo County has an interesting history with election controversy. The county’s reputation for contentious politics has been blemished by incidents of vote buying and other forms of election fraud Northern Panhandlers may find difficult to comprehend. This week’s events indicate they may still be happening, showing signs a need for immediate reform, if true, so that transparency can prevail and election integrity is not lost. On first look at election results, it appears after the votes were tallied in the Sixth Senatorial District, (which includes all of Mercer County and parts of Wayne, McDowell, and Mingo counties) Hart had 4,847, Swope had 4,384, and Porterfield with 2,633. The West Virginia Secretary of State reported that of 1,181,437 registered voters, there were 360,175 ballots cast, for a voter turnout of 30.49%.  Secretary Warner’s office further reported that in Mingo County, there are 17,124 registered voters, and 5,072 ballots were cast on May 14, 2024. Court documents indicate Mingo County followed the rest of the state with just under thirty percent registered voters turning out to vote in the recent primary.  However, documents also indicate, in Mingo County, of 7,203 registered Democrats, 1,440 ballots were cast in the Democratic primary, for a turnout of 19.99%, BUT of the 5,133 registered Republican voters, 3,554 ballots were cast in the primary election.  This indicated a voter turnout of 69.24%. In the 28 precincts located in Mingo County, 12 precincts reported Republican voter turnout of over 70%. Swope’s notice also includes affidavits from Mingo County voters. In reviewing these court documents, there are four affidavits and one statement included, which all tell similar tales of being offered Republican ballots after indicating the voter was a registered democrat or independent; naming poll workers who watched these individuals vote; not being certain if their ballots were entered into the machines, because they did not see this action take place.  The Senator wishes the poll books be reviewed in hopes of shining some light on the inconsistencies listed and shedding some light on how to move forward. Citing past case law, the entire vote of a district should be rejected where errors are found  of precinct the challenge demands that ballots cast in the precincts where errors are found. In Mingo County, where Mr. Hart received 2,152 votes, Senator Swope received 364 votes, and Mr. Porterfield received 344 votes, so throwing out the votes in affected precincts could alter the outcome of this election.  Senator Swope’s challenge to Mingo County elections could be a pivotal moment to the region. If his allegations are proven to be true, it could prompt significant reforms in how elections are conducted, not just in Mingo County but also across the state. There needs to be bipartisan support and a commitment to the underlying issues without political bias. This will require the cooperation of local officials, state legislators, and the community at large.  But Senator Swope’s assertions against Mingo County elections is more than just a local issue.  It touches on fundamental aspects of democratic governance and electoral integrity. While his allegations have no doubt sparked controversy and debate, they also offer an opportunity to critically assess and improve the electoral process. Ensuring fair and transparent elections is essential for maintaining public trust and upholding the principles of democracy. As this investigation unfolds, actions taken in response to these allegations will be closely observed, potentially setting a precedent for other regions facing similar issues.  The outcome of this action will likely have lasting implications on Mingo County and beyond. Whether it leads to significant electoral reforms or whatever the outcome may be, the discussion and debate sparked, underscores the importance of vigilance and accountability in the democratic process.  As people from West Virginia and the rest of the country watch this unfold, the hope is that this challenge will ultimately strengthen the integrity of elections and restore faith in the democratic system.  Read the full article

Uzun vadeli yatırım için ‘güvenli liman‘ varlığı arayışı değişik tartışmalara bahis oluyor. 3 kripto para milyarderinin bu bahiste artık bir kanısı var… Kripto para milyarderlerine nazaran ‘güvenli liman’ Bitcoin ve altın ortasında mühlet gelen bu tartışma hakkında kripto fenomenlerinin söyleyecekleri var. NBA kadrosu Dallas Mavericks’in milyarder sahibi Mark Cuban, Ocak ayında altına yatırım yapan herkesi azarlarken Bitcoin’i ön plana çıkartmıştı. Bill Maher ile birlikte yayınlanan bir podcast’te Cuban, yatırım konusundaki görüşlerini, bilhassa de altına yatırım yapmanın neden berbat bir fikir olduğunu paylaştı. Cuban, “Bitcoin’in çok daha fazla düşmesini istiyorum, böylelikle biraz daha alabilirim. Altınınız varsa, aptalsınız,” dedi. Cuban’ın Bitcoin konusundaki duruşu, “Bitcoin’e çok karşı olan” ve parasını altına yatırmayı tercih eden Maher’den bariz bir formda ayrılıyordu. Poscast esnasında, ikili çoklukla altın ve Bitcoin ortasında ‘güvenli liman’ tartışması üzerinde durdu. Cuban’in tezi, altının artık rahatça saklanamadığını belirtiyor: “Külçe altının sahibi değilsin ve bir sepet içinde her şey cehenneme giderse ve bir külçe altının olsa ne olur biliyor musun? Biri seni döver ya da öldürür ve altın külçeni alır”. Maher, altının “her vakit bir bedeli olan” bir şey olduğunu, “her vakit satabileceğinizi”, halbuki Bitcoin’in böylelikle olmadığını vurguladı. Cuban, Bitcoin’e yatırım yapmanın birebir vakitte depolanmış bir bedel üzere fonksiyon gördüğünü, fakat altından farklı olarak yatırımcılara ledger teknolojisi aracılığıyla gerçek muhafaza sağladığını belirtti: “Bu bir dijital süreç ve saklanan bir değer… Yani beşerler altınla, Bitcoin’le bağlantılı bir kıymet olduğunu algılıyor.” Mike Novogratz, Bitcoin’in karne misyonu gördüğünü düşünüyor Galaxy Investment Partners CEO’su Novogratz, Bitcoin hakkında cesurca açıklamalar yaptığı en son tweet’lerinde, BTC’nin para siyaseti ve finansal istikrar üzerine bir karne olduğunu söyledi. Daha evvel altın yatırımı yaptığını söyleyen milyarder, son açıklamalarında, BTC’nin mevcut ekonomik iklim için inşa edildiğini vurguladı. Novogratz, riske nazaran ayarlanmış bir temelde, BTC’nin yılın en güzel performans gösteren varlığı olduğunu ve büyüme stoklarını, bankaları ve kıymetli pay senedi ölçütlerini geride bıraktığını söyledi. Açıklamaları, Galaxy tarafından yayınlanan ve Bitcoin datalarının giderek daha fazla yükseldiğini gösteren bir araştırma makalesiyle destekleniyor. https://twitter.com/novogratz/status/1638943787383660554 Galaxy Digital’in raporu, Bitcoin’in bir dizi menkul değer, endeks ve emtia ile karşılaştırıldığında yılın en âlâ performans göstereni olduğunu öne sürüyor. Araştırma, Bitcoin’in altınla olan korelasyonun arttığını, pay senetleri ile olan ilgisinin ise azaldığını ve kriz vakitlerinde daha inançlı bir liman varlığı üzere davrandığını gösteriyor. Galaxy’ye nazaran olumlu on-chain metrikler, Bitcoin için artan birikim, daha geniş sahiplik ve daha uzun yatırım mühletleri öneriyor. Eski Coinbase yöneticisi: Bitcoin satın alın ve borsalardan çekin Coinbase’in eski CTO’su Balaji Srinivasan Çarşamba günü, yatırımcıların Bitcoin satın almak ve kripto para ünitelerini borsalardan çıkarmak için sırf haftaları hatta günleri olabileceği konusunda uyardı. Srinivasan, kripto para borsası Kraken’den bir posta paylaşan bir Twitter kullanıcısına, otomatik takas odası (ACH) süreçlerini bu ayın sonunda askıya alacağını söyleyerek reaksiyon gösterdi. https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1638744564474445824 Kraken, Silvergate Bank krizinden sonra yeni bir bankacılık ortağı bulmaya çalıştığı için 27 Mart’tan itibaren ACH para yatırma ve çekme süreçlerini süreksiz olarak durduracak. Srinivasan, “Fed çıkışları kapatıyor. Bunu global olarak yapamazlar. Artık Fed denetimi dışında gereğince banka var. Ancak şayet geniş Batı’daysanız… Yalnızca haftalarınız, hatta günleriniz olabilir. Bitcoin satın alın ve kripto paralarınızı borsalardan çekin” diyor. 1 milyon dolarlık Bitcoin tahmini

Geçen hafta Srinivasan, ABD dolarının önümüzdeki aylarda süratle paha kaybetmesi nedeniyle Bitcoin’in fiyatının 17 Haziran’a kadar 1 milyon dolara fırlayabileceğine dair yiğit bir kestirimde bulundu. Srinivasan’a nazaran, global iktisat, doların dünyanın baskın para ünitesi olarak sonunu getirebilecek büyük bir değişimin – bir “hiperbitcoinizasyon” – eşiğinde. Açıkladığı üzere, klasik para üniteleri süratli bir hiperenflasyon periyoduna girerken, global iktisat yeni ve tercih edilen para ünitesi olarak “dijital altın” olarak Bitcoin’e dönecek. https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1636827051419389952 cointahmin.com olarak Srinivasan’in 1 milyon dolarlık Bitcoin kestirimin detaylarına bu yazıda yer verdik.

Royal Challengers Bangalore RCB players list for the IPL 2023

IPL 2023 Royal Challengers Bangalore RCB Players List

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have a large fan base but have been labeled “underachievers” because they have yet to win an IPL trophy. Vijay Mallya's company, United Spirits, acquired RCB in 2008.

The Indian Premier League will hold its 16th season in India from April to June 2023. An auction will be held, as is customary, before the start of each IPL season. The IPL 2023 auction will take place on 16th December, 2022. This auction will be a mini-auction with only a small number of players available.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) had a fantastic season and advanced to the playoffs. Few RCB players have made a significant contribution, and a few of them, despite underperforming, remain an important part of the squad.

Here are three players who could be released by RCB IPL 2023 trading window.

Karn Sharma

Karn Sharma has been a key member of several IPL-winning teams in recent years, and whether he can replicate his success with RCB, a silverware-less franchise remains to be seen. Unfortunately for the leg-spinner, he may not have the opportunity to do so on the field in the IPL 2023.

His economy rate hasn't been lower than seven since 2017, and he has only 10 scalps in his last 22 league games.

Anuj Rawat

Anuj Rawat is a power hitter at the top of the order, but he didn't capitalize on his opportunities in the previous IPL, and with Rajat Patidar now in the picture and a couple of other young players like Suyash Prabhudessai and Mahipal Lomror already in the RCB squad, the RCB management may decide to let Anuj Rawat go, as they have bases covered in terms of domestic Indian batting.

Finn Allen

Finn Allen, a talented youngster who has previously played for RCB, clearly has Mike Hesson's and the team management's trust. The Kiwi is an exciting talent who can be lethal on his day, but he's rarely more than a backup option.

RCB has Indian wicket-keeping options in Dinesh Karthik and Anuj Rawat, so Allen's part-time glove work will be unnecessary. And, with Faf du Plessis manning an overseas batting slot at the top of the order and possibly serving as the franchise's captain, it's unlikely that the 22-year-old will play for RCB.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Will most Certainly Retain these 5 Players For IPL 2023

Virat Kohli

is one of the world's most talented batsmen in the last ten years. Many players look up to him as a role model. Kohli's influence on RCB has been nothing short of spectacular. Kohli, on the other hand, fell short of expectations during the IPL 2022 season. Kohli managed only 309 runs in 14 games.

Even though statistics cast doubt on Virat Kohli's importance to Royal Challengers Bangalore, his spot remains unfilled, and he will be one of the players the team keeps ahead of the IPL 2023 auction.

Faf Du Plessis

Faf Du Plessis has been one of the world's most talented batsmen in previous IPL seasons. Du Plessis fell short of expectations during the IPL 2022 season. In 14 games, RCB captain Faf Du Plessis scored 443 runs. Despite the statistics undermining Du Plessis's importance to RCB, his spot remains unfilled, and he will be one of the players the team retains ahead of the IPL 2023 auction.

Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik will undoubtedly be among the top five players who have performed admirably. Dinesh Karthik, a seasoned cricketer, has scored 287 runs in just nine innings. His strike rate of 192 is among the best this season.

Royal Challengers Bangalore appears to have found the ideal lower-middle-order batsman, and he will undoubtedly be one of the first players retained before the IPL 2023 auction.

Wanindu Hasaranga

In the IPL 2022 mega auction, Royal Challengers Bangalore paid 10.75 crores for Sri Lankan star Wanindu Hasaranga. In 16 games, he has 26 wickets. He has been one of the season's highlights, and Royal Challengers Bangalore will want to retain him before the IPL 2023 auction.

Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell will undoubtedly be among the top players who have performed admirably. Glenn Maxwell, a seasoned cricketer, has scored 268 runs in only 11 innings. Royal Challengers Bangalore appears to have found the ideal lower-middle-order batsman, and he will almost certainly be one of the first players retained before the IPL 2023 auction.

Royal Challengers Bangalore will target these three all-rounders in the IPL 2023.

Ben Stokes

Ben Stokes will be able to play for RCB next season. The only things that could prevent him from playing are his availability for the following season and RCB's ability to liquidate that much money for him. The reality is that RCB has always had superstars. They've shared the field with Chris Gayle, AB De Villiers, Virat Kohli, and Mitchell Starc. This demonstrates the management's ability to manage a large number of senior players at the same time. Here are some of his IPL statistics:

RCB has always been very profitable in terms of branding. And no one fits the bill better than Ben Stokes. Ben is the world's best all-rounder, second only to Ravindra Jadeja. He bats at No. 5 and is expected to bowl at least two overs of fast bowling. He also has several variants. Furthermore, he previously represented the Rajasthan Royals and the Rising Pune Super Giants.

Chris Woakes

Chris Woakes is expected to play in the IPL next year. His chances of playing for RCB are better because he has the same numbers and stats as Ben Stokes, but he will cost less. Chris Woakes' market value is lower because his performances have caught the attention of the cricket community, and he is no longer in the public eye. Woakes has previously played for RCB and performed admirably for the club. Here are some of his IPL statistics:

Mahipal Lomror

Mahipal Lomror will play in the TATA IPL 2023 for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. The Rajasthan youngster will return to RCB for another stint. This season, his bat performance was above average. RCB did not make use of his bowling abilities, but he is capable of bowling a few overs of leg spin. He can be used in a variety of ways, but RCB needs to assign him a clear role. Here are some of his IPL statistics.

Mahipal's best role will be off the number 5 batter or the number 4 batter. But with Maxi in the mix, number four goes to Maxi every time. So, number 5 will suffice for Mahipal Lomror. They must support this player. His ball-striking ability is unparalleled. As a left-handed batter, he adds a dynamic element to his batting. He can also be floated up, but this is not the best option for an uncapped player.

Our Verdict

It's a foregone conclusion that RCB will stick with their opening lineup. The opening pair will most likely be skipper Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli. Rajat Patidar, who impressed everyone, will almost certainly bat third in the IPL in 2023.

Glenn Maxwell was heavily backed by RCB, and he more than lived up to the hype. In the IPL 2023, the swashbuckling all-rounder is expected to bat at No.4 for the franchise. His bowling ability also makes him a certain addition to the playing XI.

Mahipal Lomror is likely to be selected ahead of Suyash Prabhudessai at No.5, with Dinesh Karthik and Shahbaz Ahmed, who have bailed RCB out of trouble on numerous occasions, likely to follow.

Wanindu Hasaranga of Sri Lanka will be the lone spinner in the side, while Harshal Patel, Josh Hazlewood, and Mohammed Siraj are expected to return to the RCB XI for the IPL 2023.

Day 2:

Previously on PRSC…

Yes attempted to light a fire and failed, and are struggling to do much of anything. Everyone wants to go home, except for Jon, who is still gathering fruit and has discovered mushrooms…

ELP also have achieved absolutely nothing, except pissing each other off. Good job, guys. 

Genesis are making some progress, no thanks to Tony or Peter, both of which are contributing nothing helpful. 

Those darling Canadians, Rush, are doing just fine so far, and showcase the best cooperation and coordination. They’re giving us hope that they all won’t die in the first week. 

Fripp is using his “leadership abilities” in King Crimson, and has dubbed his camp “The Court of the Crimson King”, although no one uses the full title. Death Count: 0

Departures occur at the Yes camp…

Fed up with the shenanigans of the Yes camp, Steve tells the others that he’s leaving, and departs sometime in the morning to go and join The Court (King Crimson’s camp). It being a difficult 10-mile hike to the north and east, as well as across the river, he arrives around midnight. After a short “trial” at a mysterious structure built by Fripp himself, he accepts Steve into this camp, and puts him to work with the others. Meanwhile, back at the Yes camp, Steve’s departure has individually inspired both Chris and Rick to try and leave for the ELP camp the next day, figuring their chances are better there than with Jon, or with their other choice, Genesis. They ultimately decide to leave together, without informing Jon or Alan.

Continuing Conflict at the ELP camp... Conditions have not improved much since yesterday. Greg and Keith have started an argument on whether or not to settle in one location, while Carl desperately tries to keep them all alive by attempting to build a fire, getting water from the river, and trying to do some gathering as well. His efforts go unnoticed. Keith is still yelling at him about the part in Karn Evil 9. It is a grim situation in the camp. To the East, Near a Pond… Genesis has improved quite a bit since yesterday. More shelters are erected, due to the work of Steve, Mike, and Phil. Peter is beginning to get a grip, and starts helping out as well. However, he has still not removed the flower costume. Tony still refuses to do anything, and claims the first shelter to himself. As for his Mona Lisa recreation, he is currently struggling with her difficult hair. The Rush Settlement It is only Day 2 of our Game, and Rush have already built somewhat of a functioning society. A sturdy shelter has already been erected, and they are working on a storage area. They have a steady campfire, and have used their camping gear to their full advantage: the tents they brought are being used as “lookout shelters”, they brought extra food and water (smart thinking!), first aid supplies, entertainment, including several books and an acoustic guitar, and “The Power of Friendship” (according to them). The only mildly off-putting thing about their camp is their insistence to tell terrible jokes. Finally, In The Court As mentioned in the Yes section, Steve leaves the disorganized mess of the Yes camp, in order to try it out in The Court. Prior to his arrival, Fripp allows John and David to pick their jobs in return for their cooperation. The Court is being built up rapidly, moving beyond the necessary shelters, and creating an actual “court”, from which Fripp does his job of overseeing everything. He has sent “Broof” out on an errand to find out what the other bands are doing, leaving Muir to have the all-important job of hunting and gathering. He journals his report each night.

That’s all for today, so we’ll see you tomorrow for... 

The Prog Rock Survival Competition!
