Thursday night Prog

Just a reminder of how great a guitarist Steve Hackett is, even when he's not soloing but "just" providing counterpoint and textures. Along with Edge, he is probably the guitarist that best provides just the right colour, tone and sound at the right time.

He could be subtle and dominant at the same time. In 30 years, Daryl Stuermer, as great as he is, could never quite capture what made Hackett tick. Of living guitarists, only Holdsworth and Jeff Beck are greater, although Fripp is an equal.

Anyhoo, this one is dedicated to John McCain, and the song title says it all.
