That's a seagull? I thought it was a shithawk. Oh, wait . . . same thing.

They're about to retire. There are three empty chairs on a beach. Seagulls are often found near beaches. The chairs represent their well-earned retirement.

 

The dalmatian is running behind the chairs The dalmatian represents their career. (Their career has been a bit spotty.) The dog is running because the whole thing seems to have gone by so fast.

 

There's a man with a metal detector on the beach. He has a weird beard. He is "searching for metal" - perhaps a reference to the fact that people have tried to characterize Rush's music as "metal." Or, he is searching for buried treasure. The fans hope there will be buried treasure in a vault, released to the public. They want "Hemispheres live" and "Signals live" for example.

 

The seagull is waiting to see if there is anything to be scavenged. They are beach scavengers. Maybe they hope the retired Alex, Geddy and Neil will throw them french fries. The dalmatian hopes maybe they will throw it a bone. The fans hope that they will throw them more unreleased music.

Was that essay 500 words, Mr. Toymaker? :P

I didn't count them, but did you find it persuasive?

A live album from the Signals tour would be phenomenal.

Wasn't that the assignment? :P

 

Actually sounded like a really good analytical analysis.

Lerxst was high and blurted out 'Seagull!!! It'll be hilarious because it means absolutely nothing and will make no sense!'. :P

 

That makes as much sense as anything. It was probably just something they thought would look cool.

Not sure if that's true but certainly convincing.

I'm pretty sure that it's a nod to Jonathan Livingston Seagull, as well.

There are Seagulls recorded on "No~One At The Bridge", and "Natural Science". They deserve the recognition for their efforts, as do the English House Sparrows from the original and ESL versions of "Xanadu"; of which the birds are not yet identified whom now grace the intro of the now 2015 R~40 version of said song... :D

There could be a gull strike, ala The Trees.

Are you obsessed with that? Every post I see where that's mentioned always seems to be you.

Disembodied Spirit was at the next table that night. Actually got sprayed with some of Alex's blood. PTSD has caused a sort of obsession, yes.

 

 

 

 

 

(I'm lying obviously.)
