Robin Trower is a British blues guitarist who played with Procol Harum in the 1960s and went on to solo work in the 70s, paired up with Jack Bruce of Cream in the 80s, and continues to write music to this day.
His style is noted as being very similar to that of Jimi Hendrix, and like Hendrix he was self-taught.
Despite being relatively unknown in modern times, his debut solo album, Bridge of Sighs (1974), is regarded as being one of the best Rock and Roll albums ever by many critics.

Get the juicymug. As one might guess, the term is a portmanteau of the words navigate and gazing.
When you are navigazing, you are paying more attention to the environment around you than to where you are actually going. This state of being is generally useful when you have time to kill or simply enjoy looking at the world around you.

Get the jammug. Teenage Wasteland is a song written by Pete Townshend in 1971 for his LifeHouse project. Since the project wasn't completed back then, Townshend used parts of this song in his work with The Who, and parts of 'Teenage Wasteland' eventually became another song, Baba O'Reilly.
Excerpt from Teenage Wasteland:
"Out here in the fields, I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight to prove I'm right
And I don't need to be forgiven
My kids ain't gonna break my heart
My greed ain't gonna spoil their part
This life just has to be a new one
I'm gonna tan underneath a new sun
Don't cry, don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland"
"Out here in the fields, I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight to prove I'm right
And I don't need to be forgiven
My kids ain't gonna break my heart
My greed ain't gonna spoil their part
This life just has to be a new one
I'm gonna tan underneath a new sun
Don't cry, don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland"

Get the percymug. Procol Harum was a British Rock/Psychedelic/Progressive band that was formed in the early 1960s. They drew attention with their #1 hit single "A Whiter Shade of Pale", though over time their success declined and they obtained a large cult following.
After the success of their initial studio work, they decided to tour, with their first show being the opening act for Jimi Hendrix in 1967.
The Original (Classical) lineup consisted of Gary Brooker (piano and lead vocals), Robin Trower (guitar), Matthew Fisher (organ), David Knights (bass), B.J. Wilson (drums), and Keith Reid (lyricist), though there were many, many lineup changes before they broke up in 1977.
Point of interest: Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" tied with Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" for Best British Pop Single 1952-1977.
