RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Rather enjoyed that one. Especially love the fact the pic of Neil did indeed make it onto the internet. What I think is more important than Neil spending what is, on his income, a novel amount of money for a stranger, was the fact he took the time to spend time with and get to know that stranger. Kind of throws a wrench into the whole "Neil is a d*ck" routine, yes? Maybe, just maybe, he is indeed human. "I can't pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend." Well I guess he can in real life. Neil's favorite band is STYX. Signed, "The Grand Illusion" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) http://blog-imgs-80.fc2.com/m/i/n/mineichi/P7271448.jpg Kind of blurry...much like the elusive Big foot or Loch Ness photos. :) That quote about Neil being "in the Earth" could be a sign for him to quit smoking those fukking Red Apples.Also the blurry picture could be another sign.The one time in 40 years that Neil takes a photo with a wave and genuine smile is actually blurred and quite useless. Perhaps Neil should star in the next "Final Destination" film. "Final Destination 666: 2112 Ways To Die" Better to be six feet tall than six feet under..........................

And the fact that he has been in photos with fans makes me think that this recent quip from him is a sad dig at everyone who has had their pic taken with him To begin the comment "he will learn" is extremely narcissistic and, completely unnecessary 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMCXII Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Is he preparing lyrics for a new RUSH album? No, according to what he told that foreign stranger on the bike, he's a professional writer and motorcycle photographer now.. don't you remember what his 3 year old girl told us a few months back? He's retired! Passive-aggressive old prick could fill his fans in directly.. that'd be cool lol Edited January 26, 2016 by MMCXII 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Nice read. A little confusing as to whether he wanted to be recognized or not. Kind of hard to tell.

Lucas Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Ah, Nagoya. Just a couple of hours from me by train. Or an hour by Shinkansen/bullet train. Don't see how Mosbach, who apparently spent a few years in Japan and traveling Asia, confused the Nagoya flag (which looks like a red, slightly wavy capital "A" without the middle horizontal bar) with the Korean flag: http://www.ata-k4k.com/old_page/images/South-Korean-flag.jpg Also, I have to question Peart's questioning of that dude's English saying that he struggled even though he had "studied at a school for 3 months". "Studying English" in Japan for 3 months could easily mean a mere 6 lessons...but more than likely means JUST 12 lessons. How do I know? It's my job. One hour lessons once a week is fairly common. Sure, I'm nitpicking the article. But hey, of all the things Peart could've written about, he wrote [albeit just a mention] about some traveler's "Ingrish" (as Peart directly states) instead of some intrepid J-guy bicycling solo through the southwest with little to no English whatsoever. Meh. I think he could've found something more interesting to write. Ah well, I'm not a big fan of reading about sage and rocks anyway. I didn't expect any Rush news but I was expecting...I don't know...something. Agree JB .. and then some 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredtamasrule Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Like a lot of geniuses Cornelius is a true oddball: insular, exceedingly selfish (every human interaction is on his terms), amazingly gifted and as contrarian a person as I've ever read about. Probably fun to have a drink and a smoke with but I also bet he's a f***ing handful to deal with on a daily basis. His treatment of people who *gasp* might be fans and fans (*gasp*) is disgusting...but Ged & Al allowed him to have his cake and eat it too by giving him a free pass on all things promotional. Yet more anecdotal evidence that it's best to admire heros from afar rather than learning that they're just as f***ed up a human as the rest of us (or worse). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
