I think I'm gonna like this guy.....
"When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know, the end result is tyranny and oppression no matter how holy the motives."
It is nothing new to have a keyboardist and/or guitarist to play off to the side or behind the stage. Ozzy Osborne has his keyboardist off to the side and the times I have seen Cheap Trick in concert, the keyboardist was off to the side.
The funniest "ghost keyboardist" tale I've ever heard of has to go to Kim Bullard's (did I spell his name correctly?) status as unofficial second keyboardist on Yes' Big Generator tour. I'm not sure if the info's 100% accurate, but apparently he was offered $70K to do the tour onstage (and to have his presence explained, etc.), or for a cool $100K, he could do it all from offstage (or underneath, if the band was 'in the round'). I was always wondering how Tony Kaye was able to pull off some of Wakeman's licks - I guess he really wasn't.
