  1. Just thought i'd through this in here... Alex has stated, and it has been reported, that Alex is suffering from arthritis, very painful at times, throughout his whole body. After saying that, he went on to say how sad it is that Neil has been playing for many years with tendonitis...perhaps THAT is a somewhat "hidden secret' that's contributing to their potential decision to cut back touring.. http://ultimateclassicrock.com/alex-lifeson-arthritis/
  2. QUOTE (physics23 @ Apr 27 2005, 06:41 PM) It was only a couple of years ago when, upon listening to "Anagram," it suddenly dawned on me what Peart was doing with the words in that song. It was like discovering a new dimension, like solving an ancient riddle. I wonder if it was only I that caught on so late. There's just one issue I have not been able to resolve. In that verse, He and she are in the house But there's only me at home there seems to be a mistake. Is that not so? He and she are in the house But there's only me at home "He" and "She" are both in the word "house", "Me" is in the word "home." The "double anagram" is the fact that Neil uses the topic of homes and houses the extract yet a deeper meaning on unrelated topics. He does extensively in this song, re-read and try to NOTICE the "double anagram" as each line relates to what really doesnt seem to be related at first...It's an amazingly well written song full of great verbal gymanastics.

  3. I picked "The Pass" but really love "Scars" for a variety of reasons, mostly from the guitarist in me. Some may not may not realize it, but there are NO keyboards in that song (except for the songs bass line riff played using a Wal bass sample on a sequencer). It's all Alex being his "atmospheric" and textural" best. Gives me goosebumps hearing certain notes he plays on that song. one observation: l absolutely loved the album up to and including the song "Presto." After that, the album seemed to take on a very different vibe, like it's a different group playing but with the same instruments. I believe that may have come from the direction of Rubert Hine, their then producer. I still appreciate the message in the songs that follow, but it was weird backin '89-90 hearing the album all the way through in one sitting the 1st few times....anyone else notice that? SA
