What's the difference between DRH and what Rick does?

Save that -- and only by a real s-t-r-e-t-c-h of the imagination and heavy doses of schedule I and possibly II controlled substances -- Judas Priest is NOT nor ever will be prog or even come close to it.

If I'm in the mood for Led Zeppelin, I can always listen to Q104 or something like that, right?

In my travels I have mentioned AM to people only to hear from them at a later date that when they tuned in they didn't hear what they would have expected and then never bothered to listen again. AM is billed as a prog station and people tune in expecting just that. There's a plethora of other genre specific stations on the internet; if, on a particular day, somebody has a hankering for something like heavy-metal waltzing music, there's likely a heavy-metal waltzing music station to fulfill that desire. In that vein, if, for example, I go to a Yes gig, I wouldn't be very receptive to them singing heavy-metal waltzing song. I'd tune out, or more specifically, walk out in an instant.
