Gentle Giant - The Power And The Glory: Gentle's Giant's Leviathan?

from Classic Rock And Prog Almanac · host timothyappleton

This week Tim did a monologue about the sixth studio album by Gentle Giant, The Power And The Glory. Topics covered include: whether the band had read Graham Greene, George Orwell or Thomas Hobbes; the extent to which the lyrics are reflected in the music and vice versa; the unique style and sound of Gentle Giant; and whether the album should be considered political or anti-political. Also, should the ending of the album actually have gone at the beginning? Was Cogs In Cogs influenced by Charlie Chaplin? Did the album lead to the demise of Nicolae Ceaușescu? Was Watergate really that big a deal? And crucially, how did Hegel distinguish good infinity from bad infinity?
