I missed that too, but I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard that "The Buggles" had joined Yes! I was shocked and completely depressed... A few weeks earlier a buddy of mine whos father worked in the NY music industry told me that he had a cut off of a new Yes album that he wanted me to hear... I had no idea that they had cut an album - Well, it was a practical joke: It was a song by Starcastle.
Anyway, I remember reading the article while on the Harlem/Hudson line going to Manhatten.
Frankly, I really liked Tormato, I thought it was a good concert tour as well, but Drama was quite a change for the band. And I think that it was a good change.
But I couldn't imagine Lou Reed in Yes. I can see how it would be a disaster.

It's a shame about that Drama album because "Tempus Fugit" was a great song, but they needed Jon Anderson to sing it instead of Trevor Horn, but Squire's bass line is great.
