PROG ROCK STARS ARE MORE LIKELY TO DRINK AND DRIVE
Worrying Government statistics points finger at prog
A recently published secret document makes for a chilling read, and blames a spate of musical motorcar madness on our heros! The figures show that if you are in a "progressive or classically rock orientated band" then you are 67% more likely to fail a breath test, according to Lord Justice Rees-Hoare. The document also lists some names of prog stars who have been convicted of drink and driving but because Silhobbit takes pride in its record for keeping integrity we have decided to preserve the identity of those who have fallen foul of using alcohol whilst on the public highways. Indeed it would be trashy and wrong to name any individuals so instead we have changed the Christian names from the document thus preventing any further embarrassment.

In a leaked letter from Mystic Meg to the Department of Transport, she predicts that several other prog stars will have their licenses taken away from them before the end of the year. The names include Peter Gee, Damian Wilson and Steve Hackett.
 

Peter Gee and his decision to give up drinking liquids in every form.

Back in the old days when "Prog" was the only word that would ever have  chance of passing over a monks lips. IQ were at their peak and I had a job at an LSD testing clinic in Amsterdam. I read an interview in a popular magazine at that time, called Waters Off a Sil’s Beak,  which later became Silhobbit after losing a lot of money at a card game when the editors went back stage to see Gary Ghandler at the Marquee. Anyway, this interview was with the young Geter Pee, being the rock and roll star that he will be, he claimed that he'd started to worship the Devil lately using spirits and beer as his devil’s broth and without these and prog he would surly cease to exist.

This was obviously a long time ago because I travelled up to his abode last weekend and just like Phil Collins he denied the whole proggin’ lot.
