Midway Hawker Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 QUOTE (BSG @ Nov 3 2004, 07:17 AM) I first heard the boys in 1977 on the radio. The station played "Fly By Night/In the Mood" from ATWAS and "that was all she wrote", as the expression goes. I was immediately hooked, and even more floored to learn they were a trio. First album I got was ATWAS, followed by 2112 and then the first 3 records. My first show was in 1979 on the Semi-spheres PW Warm-Up tour. Then it was 1990 before I saw them again. I sort of tuned out for a while. Then I came to the realization that of all my musical choices, I kept coming back to these guys. Then I won "Rush in Rio" from the local radio station, found the Rush message board, got to know some real cool folks , and now my life is complete. I saw them twice on the R30 tour (wish it had been more). My total shows is now 4 (ONLY ) NEXT TOUR.................... Watch out for the BSG, coming to a town near you. YOU HAVE TO BE IN VEGAS NEXT TOUR BSG!!! We will start a "help BSG get to Vegas" fund if we have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea. He was never called that in any cartoon I've seen. He actually is called Rudolph in the episode with the bald mad scientist. I know, dammit - I have way too much to say about BB.

I have only seen a few, though. I guess they didn't make very many. Correct me if I'm wrong I know of only two. The episode names escape me. It's been years, and I'm certainly not a certified expert. I just watched the shit out of them growing up. The episode where the pic is taken from is where bugs is sleeping in his rabbit hole during a flood. The mattress is carried away in the water and floats by the bald evil scientists castle, who wants BB's brain. Once Bugs tries to take off, he sends the monster, whom he calls Rudolph, after Bugs. "Come Rudolph. There is a rabbit loose in the castle. Return him to me and I will reward you with a Spider Goulash." (or some sh*t like that). The other episode has a scientist with black hair (I believe), who creates a mechanical female rabbit to lure him into the castle. Once Bugs tries to escape, the monster is called out to get him back. "And so... having re-re-disposed of the monster... exit our hero through the front door stage right." Way off topic - RUSH RULES. Changed my life. Got me stop watching so much BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singularity Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 My brother played The Trees for me, Spring '79. I became an instant fan. I tried turning my Kiss-loving friends on to them: "The song's about the minority vs. the majority! Don't you get it?" The extent of their philosophies didn't go beyond Love Gun. Bro also took me to my first Rush concert, Signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
