I had the great privilege of lecturing for John J. Miller’s college course, Hon252, THE GOOD, THE TRUE, AND IRON MAIDEN.  If you’re interested, here’s my lecture on “To Tame a Land,” and the connection between science fiction and progressive music.  From Yes and ELP to Cosmograf and Aryeon.

    I’ve just been getting into Ayreon and Arjen’s music this semester, and I’m loving it. I’ve only dipped my toes in so far, though. Definitely need to explore some more. I’ll have to make a Christmas list :p
