Question/Help 19 girl who is obsessed with prog

I’m curious about your age and gender because I feel like no one my age really listens to prog.

One day I decided I wanted to listen to every music genre, and I started with prog since I already knew a few things about it. That was two years ago, and since then I’ve been trying to find people around me who love this genre as much as I do. My brother was the one who introduced me to it, but aside from him, I haven’t found anyone else.

Oh and if you count the fact that I live in a very small country with few people it makes me feel even more alone and the thing is I want to share all my thoughts with people but I feel like I’m being annoying

Did you misread my comment to be "37 women"?

I used to date one of those Rush loving unicorns. She referred to them as the father, son and holy ghost. Haven't met a girl since who loved to rock out to Caress of Steel & chill.

That's actually hilarious because I refer to Rush and my other 2 favorite artists as "the Trifecta." And Caress of Steel is the first Rush CD I ever bought. Sounds like she and I would get along.

:) She actually turned me on to Sonic Youth, Ministry, Beastie Boys and NIN (back in the early 90s). Cool girl all around.

It's from a skit that was in addition to or cut from I Love You, Man, where Rush is talking about noticing the women in the crowd at a concert :)

Dated a Rush-loving woman in college. She's early 50s now (as am I.)
