Rick Wakeman, teen idol

posted by John Surname @ 4:14 PM

A little known fact about me - my main hobby is collecting issues of Dolly from the seventies on eBay. I've got most of 1974-1977 but the rest can be a little tricky to find.

Dolly Magazine is, of course, known for its vapid adherence to pop music, so I was a little surprised to find this:


Is that a pull-out poster of Rick Wakeman on the cover?

As in Rick Wakeman, keyboard player from prog-rock band Yes who quit to make a series of increasingly crappy solo instrumental albums? That Rick Wakeman?

On the surface this seems as unlikely as Scott doing a nude photoshoot for Cosmopolitan, but the idea of young girls listening to Yes warms my heart infinitely more than the thought of them listening to Lady Gaga.
