Yes or Not Yes
20th Sep, 2008 at 6:11pm
 
Seems all is not well in the Yes family.



From Jon Anderson page and blog on his MySpace page.

September 18, 2008

Disappointed, and very Disrespected

Disappointed that, with the exception of one phone call from Alan, none of the guys have been in touch since my illness, just to find out how I am doing, and how we will foresee the future for YES. And disappointed that they were not willing to wait till 2009 when I’m fully recovered.

And I feel very disrespected, having spent most of this year creating songs and constant ideas for the band, spending time with Roger Dean creating a stage design, also working with VH1 and Sirius and XM Radio to help promote the welfare of YES.

Getting sick was not "on my radar”, and I thank my own angel Janeee and my family for helping me through this difficult time, and the many well wishers, friends and fans alike, for understanding that ''things happen''.

Of course I wish the guys all the best in their 'solo' work, but I just wish this could have been done in a more gentlemanly fashion. After all YES is a precious musical band.

This is not YES on tour...

I send best wishes to one and all,
Jonx

My goodness! So difficult to imagine the present tour being put together without at the very least *communication* with John!

After reading the Yesfans forum on the subject I reckon I'll see how things span out  before judgment.

Yes has had more rumors and accusations than a presidential election !! I just hope they can resolve this sooner than later, they're not spring chickens you know...   Grin

I believe that YES is more popular to the Americans than the US politics, so it's normal to have more speculation on this subject...

I think YES should be a major topic of the next American presidential debate. They should ask both of the candidates what they think of YES, what is their favorite YES album, and whether the coming tour is YES or not YES.

Dammit, I just watched the Vice Presidential debate, and there was NOTHING discussed about YES!!! Don't these politicians know what the IMPORTANT issues are?

I'll bet Ralph Nader or Bob Barr would have an opinion  on the JA vs. Yes situation....

I'm happy listening to the classic stuff and ignoring all the nonsense.
