Jacob's Ladder is just an ok song with a few monstrous moments, imo, and Entre Nous, while a great song no doubt, isn't necessarily the band's crowning achievement. MP would win for me if not for one tiny, 9 minute and 17 second long detail. Natural Science is not only the best piece that Rush has ever written, but it's probably most musically exciting song I've ever heard. It is so perfect that words fail to describe it's grandeur. From the beauty of "Tidal Pools" to the driving intensity of "Hyperspace" to the total victory of "Permanent Waves" Rush created something that I feel transcends Rock music. Lyrically, it can't be beat. Here you have a song that basically encapsulates the entire history of civilization, past, present and future into less than ten minutes. Untouchable perfection. Not a note out of place, not a word wasted. The quickest ten minutes of music I've ever heard. In case you can't tell, I like that song.

^^Scooter is a girl. She's probably seen some "monsters", she's a bit shy you see... sees monsters everywhere! We didn't name her. She came to us when she was about 7/8. She talks a lot too!

The man is a very good drummer who rose to the occasion on some of the greatest songs ever written and recorded. Ringo bashing is ignorance defined.

What do you do when your employer allows the reinstatement of a corrupt punk co-worker, who was fired for gross misconduct and vandalism of company property? What do you do when this punk (who was a popular member of the union good-old boy club) made your life hell everyday for the past two years, via his intentional sabotage of your job.....in addition to blackballing you because you dared to stand up to his buddy, a drunken loser who was abusive to you everyday (and got himself fired for it)? What do you do when your employer tells you that this punk is being reinstated to his job after SEVEN MONTHS? What do you do when you are being forcibly demoted back to your old job, on the SAME SHIFT as this punk, destined to endure the same abuse and disrespect for who knows how long.....? Years, perhaps....? YOU QUIT. That is what you do. I don't care about the huge loss of revenue. I don't care about the uncertainty of my future. I don't care about having to move in with my mother until I can start all over again....which may be never. ANYTHING is better than going back to that horrible job with such impotent management and such horrible co-workers. Grain dust everywhere. Freezing cold. Working 6-7 days a week. Asshole union goonbahs. Cowardly and incompetent managers. http://www.lixlove.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/quitlol.gif

Ow..!

goob you defend LOST HIGHWAY but then say tarentino's violence is meaningless??

So, what to do to celebrate... I've got a road map of Jupiter A radar fix on the stars All along the highway I've got a liquid-crystal compass A picture book of the rivers Under the Sahara I've got a star map of Hollywood A list of cheap motels All along the freeway Decisions, decisions I've got a sister out in Vegas The promise of a decent job Far away from my hometown :ebert: I'm sure you could dream a line or two of things you could do. Use the highway out of yesterday that tomorrow will bring - of course you'd be doing that today. Avoid the time of the prophets though, that desert highway will lead to straight to the heart of the sun. If you do use it, be sure to bring a good sun block. I hope you got the Bieber box set you were hoping for... ;) And, had a great day, LABT :) Well, a lot of good my map of Jupiter did...all the flights were cancelled. Just as well, I would have gained about 300 lbs overnight. And nobody can surprise me with Bieber music, I get everything he puts out the minute it comes out so any box set I get I'll give away to one of the increasingly small group of people who have somehow managed to remain immune to Bieber Fever, in the hope that the exposure will infect them with the joy he gives to the rest of us.

Meow!

Happy Late Birthday LABT!! :cheers:

He sees something. :D This is Bosco. She is almost 17 years old and she has one eye. She lost it when she was about six months old (cat fight or chicken wire fence...probably the former). She is an indoor cat now. I've had her since she could stand in the palm of my hand and she likes to talk. A lot. Meow. http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y487/CygnusGal/Bosco-Febraury222012_zpsc75ec741.jpg

This post: http://www.therushfo...00#entry2796276 has a few pictures of Geddy smiling with teeth. Granted they're candid shots and not posed, but I don't give toothy smiles in posed photos either. Thanks NobodysHeroine, CE24, Mika, GM, mstmompj. I just felt like seeing some pictures of Geddy this morning. I could watch him play and sing or talk for days/hours/weeks/months/years. Oh wait, I have. :) :geddy:

I Hope you had a great birthday! :cheers:

Happy belated birthday LABT...go play disc golf when it gets warmer.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/internet%20stuff/smilies/_party__by_LeoLeonardo.gif Hope you had a great day!!

:goodone: That's a great way to have a day made! And now you've made me smile. Thank you. :)

WHOA!!!

More than anything, I'd love to see them just play the whole Clockwork Angels album start to finish...other than Moving Pictures (which they took a few parts out) they've never really just gone and DONE that! Come out in the first set, play it top to bottom, finish the first set with a few things while the strings are on stage that they did this tour, MAYBE add Losing it and take an intermission, Then come out and play the rest of the show....

Tell me about it. I had to leave out Blackwater Park! But still, it's all in good fun. adace1: great selection, man!!

Feeling a little grumpy right now (got a cold, and this house I really wanted to buy just sold before I could get my finances together), so thought I'd pick a few nice Geddy photos to combat the grumpies! There's something about Geddy photos that help to take away negativity! http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g454/GoddessMika/Rush/gedscrsvr.jpg http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g454/GoddessMika/Rush/RUSH031.jpg http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g454/GoddessMika/Rush/RUSH022.jpg http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g454/GoddessMika/Rush/5878456.jpg There. That's better! :)

Beautiful fella :sigh: http://cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/images/books/classic-rock-01.2013/classic-rock-01.2013-2.jpg

Found some more Geddy pictures from Cleveland on my sd card that I never uploaded: http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn108/hetfieldinn/Rush%20Cleveland/IMG_1712-1.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn108/hetfieldinn/Rush%20Cleveland/IMG_1699-1.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn108/hetfieldinn/Rush%20Cleveland/IMG_1700.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn108/hetfieldinn/Rush%20Cleveland/IMG_1689.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn108/hetfieldinn/Rush%20Cleveland/IMG_1680.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn108/hetfieldinn/Rush%20Cleveland/IMG_1634-1.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn108/hetfieldinn/Rush%20Cleveland/IMG_1681.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn108/hetfieldinn/Rush%20Cleveland/IMG_1734-1.jpg

:D Love it, Mika! Here's another: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8045/8098591713_15bd064d2f_b.jpg :drool: :drool:

Okay, I always feel a little guilty when I turn a beautiful man into meat, but I do have a certain collection of photos that are appropriate to today's posts in this thread, and I'm home alone sick with a need of cheering up. So, here's a sampling from that collection: Same as above, but different: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5194/7425639182_5c29084d4a_b.jpg Hot! Probably literally, if you consider the implications of jumping around onstage with a heavy bass guitar wearing leather: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7132/7452365270_7b16fbb9da_b.jpg This one is mysterious. But what a nice view! http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8149/7452365362_d2b65f8ee5_z.jpg Not just shapely, but agile, too! http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8199/8225997222_eeb596454f_c.jpg This was from the Sept 9th, 2012 gig in Bristow, VA. It was my perfect day! I am actually visible in this shot, in the 3rd row of the second level, but only if you know it's me. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8456/8064097188_690a2e25f7_c.jpg
