Ugh, the article does make a few fair points, but The Atlantic continues to get worse and worse.

Funny story: a few years back, I saw The Mars Volta in concert. The band is very much prog rock, and consists almost entirely of Latino and African American musicians. By my count, there were more PoC on stage than there were in the audience

Tell that to Kings X, Living Colour or Thin Lizzy. Last two are a little stretch but not much.

Heard this a few years ago and thought it was made up but apparently not. The dude who played George Jefferson Sherman Hemsley was a huge prog rock fan.

He loved Gong, Nektar, Yes, etc.

Sherman Hemsley also had a home LSD production facility. So, ya know.
