Prog-rock superstars annoyed by independence campaigners stealing the word 'Yes'

*This article was published on April 1st ... please keep that in mind folks!
THE National has learned that Prog-rock superstars Yes are attempting to take legal action to stop the word “Yes” being used by campaigners in Scotland.
The group claim that since the referendum they have found their concerts in Scotland are now packed with supporters of an independent nation rather than the dedicated fanbase they’ve spent the past 50 odd years building up.
“It’s really affecting our merchandise sales,” said a spokesperson for the band.
According to sources, the band had tolerated the use of the word Yes by the pro-independence campaigners because they thought it might ultimately help shift copies of their new album, Progeny, which is released on May 25.
It was only when the band learned that Jim Murphy had created a “Yes For Labour” campaign that they decided that action needed to be taken.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
