antiquark Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 It mans that they're recording it in Goatnut, TN, with Nick Raskuliniez and the Blade Grinder crew co-engineering. Didn't the mayor of Goatnut give Neil the keys to the city in a big ceremony? "I'M A GOATNUT MAN," Neil proclaimed proudly. There's even a picture of Neil somewhere on the internet, of him wearing the ceremonial goat nut hat, which is sewn from the scrotum of mountain goat. I for one am waiting in anticipation for Grinding to a Halt!Happy days! I remember that just like it was yesterday. But I don't know that I would have labeled it a "big" ceremony unless you included all the goats that were present and filled in for the people that weren't there. As it was, I fell asleep during Neil's 95 minute acceptance speech. A simple "thank you for this honor" would have sufficed. Did we have to sit through hearing an in-depth history of the origin of goats? And how the white man stole Goatnut from the Native Americans? It was quite a long speech wasn't it? But I think they planned it poorly, letting Neil tour that bourbon distillery BEFORE the speeches, and not after. That being said, Neil reportedly has fond feelings for the place, and is currently working on his next book, "Between a Goat and a Hard Place." Oh? He must have changed the title. I thought it was going to be "Between a Goat and a Hard Nut"? Yeah, he had a lot of different ideas for that book. But I actually prefer his first idea, "Clockwork Goatnuts." I read an early draft, it actually seems to be an inspirational story. During the tour of the local petting zoo, Neil met a goat named Bonky, which really took a shine to Mr. Peart. Neil felt that he had met his soul mate, which is even more amazing considering that the goat probably never drinks scotch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single time, without fail, that he comes over to see me he insist, INSIST, on showing me pictures from his last visit. I have told him (hoping he will get the hint to quit it with the picture showing ) that I have been there myself many times, but he still persists. :sigh: In any event, we weren't talking about Neil, we were referring to the ruffian RushianRoulette who had the audacity to tell us he wasn't excited by any of this. :sarcastic: Edited January 23, 2015 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony R Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 This just in: Rush To Allow Audience Participation During 2015 Tour TORONTO (AP) - In an interview today with Geddy Lee, the bassist and vocalist for the Canadian power trio Rush, a tour for 2015 was announced along with details that surprised many fans. "We're going to let a fan or two up on the stage during each show to join in with us," said Lee. "We'll have to come up with some way to randomly select someone, but we'll then let them come up and play guitar, do backup vocals, or maybe play some cowbell." he said with a chuckle. Fans exploded on internet forums at the news. One such fan, "Dr. Sheldon Copper" on the fan site "The Rush Forum" said he'd be willing to do anything on stage, including playing the skin flute or the boneaphone. More details on the tour will be coming later in the month according to Lee.TonyR will attest to his skill on the instrument He blows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 One of Neil's favorite pictures is the one taken of him when the traveling circus came through Goatnut. He's sitting on top of an elephant wearing a tutu. The elephant is wearing the tutu. Not Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiquark Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 All he talks about is Goatnut these days. I don't even answer the phone anymore when he calls. He's got a one track mind! I really think we should stage an intervention. He's addicted to Goatnut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hey Antiquark, did he ever show the picture someone took of him when he was having his palm read by Madame Zelda Stankowhiski? That's one of his favorites! That was when that circus came to town too. He really loved that circus. Maybe that's why he loves Goatnut so much. :codger: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tells me, "she has powers, she read my palms and told me I wield tools every day. The drums, she knew that I play the drums. She has powers!" I told him, "no, she saw your callouses, and figured you were a mechanic or janitor. Zelda don't know squat!" But still he wouldn't let it go. You wanna know the stupid thing? He thinks there are higher powers! He was talking about how free will is a scam, our future is fated, and written in the stars! Damn Goatnut.

Tombstone Mountain Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 From the soon to be released album, Grinding to a Halt, insight has been granted for the new instrumental track--"Up Yer Butt Joebu". The name, given by bassist Geddy Lee, has to do with above all things, baseball! It comes from the movie "Major League", where a relief pitcher gets nailed in the head with a baseball bat after drinking vodka belonging to the notorious voodoo god Joebu. Geddy had this to say about his new favorite instrumental. "We've do so many over the years. All sorts of styles, thematic elements, but we've never attempted the thrash genre. Not so anymore. Add thrash to our lust of accomplishments. Neil even does some headbanging in the video. When you listen to it, the raw heavy sound will pulverize you." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
