KN>  KN> Hey, no Moody Blues, no Ange. I heard that straight from
KN>  KN> Christian Decamps.
KN>  GE> No Moody BLues? Now I'm totally confused!
KN>         Now, George, why would Christian Decamps, the founder and
KN>         main composer in Ange declare his own band off topic in
KN>         this echo? Does that make sense?
Beat me. I never heard of Christian Decamps or Ange. And before I typed
this reply, I made a trip to several record stores, including one that
specializes in older, hard-to-find vinyl recordings, and the owner of it
never heard of Ange either.
KN>         "No Moody Blues, no Ange" is a type of rhetorical elipsis
KN>         common in idiomatic English in which the expression "no
KN>         x, no y" means "without x there would/will be no y" as in
KN>         "no pain, no gain" or "no head, no backstage pass."
I understand the concept of rhetorical elipsis, but like I said, I never
heard of Ange before.
KN>  GE> So if Phil Collins is Prog-Rock, then that song is also Prog-Rock
KN>         There's your faulty leap of logic.
I'm going to have to start using those d*** ":)" thingies. It never
dawned on me that anyone would fail to get what I thought was an obvious
joke about the offical definition of Prog-Rock.
KN>         The logic is fine, your premise is incorrect. Socrates is
KN>         not a horse.
What band did Socrates play in?
