As we walked through the National Museum of African American History and Culture, I pushed my grandfather in a wheelchair he had reluctantly agreed to sit in.

History was made the day Chubby Checker went on 'Bandstand' with 'The Twist.'

With how huge Yes was, especially in the '70s and '80s, as a touring band and actually playing at the JFK Stadium in Philadelphia to 130,000 people, which is the biggest-paying show ever in rock history, you would think we'd done enough for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The idea of 'Yes on Broadway' has come up. It would reflect the history of Yes.

We have that storytelling history in country and bluegrass and old time and folk music, blues - all those things that combine to make up the genre.
