Rock we have no part and in progressive rock only some bands include us (though the parts are always amazingly cool when they are their). I have always been into breaking rules and doing theings a different way, but so far 3 guitar players have called my crazy when I asked them what they thought about starting a Prog Rock Jazz Jam thing. THey looked at me like I had 500000000000000000000000000000000000000000 mil heads and told me "Go play ska you idiot". Are tgey right am I crazy? Are they limiting us?
To answer your question we have to put this in context. IMO, it is THEY who are limited. It is because they are so limited that not much else can fit into their worked up and half organized world of "noise". If one were to research and study the "music" and beats of primitive peoples in this world, they might find something of like kind and maybe even worth while to put into their same type of primitive "music". They could start an international intercultural exchange.......each type of people could dance to the same music from each group of people.

This is just my total objective opinion.
