Ayersian

Life is just a candle, and a dream must give it flame. (Neil Peart, “The Fountain of Lamneth”) I’m a music writer but first a music fan, and I am so privileged to have grown up in the ’70s and ’80s listening to some of the best music in history. I write mostly about metal, but I always have rock on the backburner.

In junior high and high school, I obsessed over what is now classic prog: Rush, Yes, ELP, Pink Floyd, and the […]
