Whether taking all mankind close to the edge with his keyboard contributions to every punk's favorite prog-rock band Yes, or going itsolo (in fully sequined gown) with all Six Wives of Henry VIII all the way to the center of the earth, or perhaps with figure skatingKnights of the Round Table, or composing the score for Ken Russell's Liztomania (and "acting" in it), or doing definitive session work for the likes of David Bowie, Black Sabbath, etc, or candidly singing the praises of Christianity and/or Freemasonry ...
... or helping invent the sampler (aka the Birotron), unfortunately a few years before its time, or hosting his own talk show, going Face To Face at length with the likes of Deep Purple's Jon Lord, Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi, Queen's Brian May, Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson, or just being grumpy, Mr. Rick Wakeman has always seemed a genuinely nice guy.
