Picture this:

Picture yourself [at this point, you can hear Steve Morse's guitar playing the beginning of "Lucy in the Skies With Diamonds" somewhere in the distance ;-] in a really tacky bar.

Somehow, you get the feeling that you're trapped in a timewarp. You must stay here forever.

There's a dancing girl somewhere in the distant corner of the room. Across your table sits a big, noisy guy. You're starting to suspect the worst, and you feel like screaming when he opens his mouth, and yells: "Hi, my name is Ted! Can I buy you a beer?! Let me tell you about my life!"

You desperately try to rise up to find another table, but you can't.

A sleazy host enters a small stage. He picks up the microphone, and announces: "Here at The House of Blue Light, we're immensely proud to introduce this night's - and from now on into eternity's - lounge band:

"Put your hands together, give a great welcome to The Noise Abatement Society!!!"

You try to scream, but no sound escapes from your lips.

Cheers, ;-)
Trond

(PS: Don't get me wrong, I do think the TNAS piece on F25 is *great* fun, but imagine having to listen to a band that plays JUST like that - FOREVER! Without EVER playing properly :-)
