How is such blatant racism and the promotion of killing black people allowed on this board??? Why hasn't this person been banned???

-40 lbs and counting!

He looks like a miniature chocolate cougar. :D

I know I appreciate well parented kids. No doubt that being a parent can be difficult at times, but out there are parents who obviously don't give a damn, and it is those I'm mocking. Some say that no matter how much you prepare you can never be fully prepared for what it takes to be a parent. I believe that to be the truth. I hope you take my posts for what they are: a lighthearted poking fun on my own expense also :) I don't hesitate to step right up and tell someone how much I appreciate their well-behaved kids and the work that they (the parents) have put into teaching their kids manners. That really puts a smile on a parent's face. My office mate occasionally has to bring her three into the office for a few hours if the kids have a school day off and their dad (divorced parents and the best example of co-parenting I have EVER seen) can't take them. She always apologizes and I tell her to quit it - her kids, ages 5-12, are better behaved than some of the ADULTS who work here.

Twice I have read about Neil and cocaine in the past couple of months. I wish I had saved the articles. Maybe I did. I will look through my Rush file. I don't understand what the big deal is - what do you think they are, saints?

Truth is folks who don't have children of their own will never understand the joy and difficultly of it all. Watching a friend or family members child for a period of time would never come close to duplicating it either. Little human beings that you and your spouse made with your dna and blood running through them is a major undertaking. I do understand folks being judgmental when observing folks parenting skills (or lack thereof). Its a tough job and there is no such thing as perfection. On the flip side I just hope that folks that don't want or really "like" children appreciate well behaved children also when they see them.....

Through all of the difficulties of raising a child there is absolutely nothing in the world like one of your kids coming up, giving you a big hug and saying a heart felt, "I love you ,dad!". You can tell when they really mean it. Of all the things in my life I've ever experienced, this tops them all. People love their pets (and I've had a few when I was younger) but as much as they treat them like kids, they're pets. The may cuddle with you and get excited when you see them... not even close and I've experienced both. People are basically decent (conventional wisdom would say) and I think people get a different kind of joy out of doing things for people who can't do for themselves, by teaching people a new skill they appreciate or making someone feel better when they're sad. By seeing that joyful look in their eyes when they do something they couldn't before. THAT to me is what makes parenting so amazing. For everyone? No. For me? Yes.

Ah, yes, why can't everyone do what I want them to do? Don't they know that it's what I want that really matters the most? Why hasn't anyone informed them?? These kids, who can make sounds, and can move around...it's just terrible. :eyeroll: OK, I admit when I'm out somewhere, such as a non-Chuck E, Cheese restaurant or store and there are kids running around free as whirligigs, causing all sorts of mayhem while their parents either ignore them completely or smile indulgently at their little darlings - I start having mean thoughts about the children that may or may not involve NFL-caliber punts. But it's really the stupid parents I'd like to punch in the throat. Friday I was waiting in line at the grocery store; the four/five year old in line behind me BIT ME ON THE CALF! Hard. I of course jumped reflexively (and shouted "OW DAMMIT!"), since being chomped isn't near the top of my list of Things I Might Need To Guard Against At Kroger, and in the process knocked Hannibal Lecter Jr. on his ass. Hannibal of course starts to cry. While the mom didn't yell at me for knocking Hannibal over, she simply said, "oh sorry, he's going through a biting phase" as I bent to examine my calf for any actual punctures. (Kids may not have a lot of PSI force in their jaws, but those teeth are sharp) OK, lady, two things: -One - he is clearly old enough to be past the biting phase, and if he's not, he is old enough to grasp the concepts of actions = consequences. -Two - if you KNOW he is "going through a biting phase", THEN WATCH HIM! I am afraid I wasn't very charitable and snarled something about getting the kid a muzzle and maybe a rabies shot. I'm just missing some vital component that would enable me to connect with children. Put me with one and it's like I've been plunked down on a planet populated by small aliens and they keep trying to engage me, but I have no clue what they're saying.

Sorry to be blasphemous yet again, but he was a cocaine user at the time. So was Jane Fonda when she did her workout videos. I'm amazed at how much personal knowledge some of you seem to have about people you have never known personally. It defies logic, really. What would defy logic more is if Neil were lying about it in his writing and Jane Fonda were lying about it in interviews. Also, I didn't say they were bad people because of it. I'm just sorry that you're too naive to accept that human perfection is a myth. Sorry to be blasphemous yet again, but he was a cocaine user at the time.

I'm just sorry that you're too naive to accept that human perfection is a myth. Where has Neil written about using cocaine to aid in his cycling?(or using cocaine at all?) It might help with short fast cycling, but it would probably be a hindrance to endurance cycling. What years do you claim he was on cocaine. If anything probably the 70's and he didn't start cycling seriously til the mid 80's. I didn't say that he used it exclusively to aid his cycling. And I as for his words, here they are: "Certainly this is a dangerous time for me, and if I were to fall into a dark bitterness, a bottle of whiskey, or a bag of white powder, who would blame me?" —Ghost Rider Now, try and tell me that Neil's so-called superpowers were due to a purely innate awesomeness. Sorry to be capable of critical thinking, but maybe the fact that Neil himself thinks that the people who regard him as God are ridiculous really does have some merit. It's not that I hate Neil, because I don't. I respect him as an artist, but that's it. What bugs me is the fact that a group of people claiming to be too intelligent for religion is clearly showing the same irrational level of worship for a f***ing rock band. He's not admitting that he was using cocaine. He was stating it as an example because of the way he was feeling emotionally at the time.

Excellent idea...or would that be considered torture for young Segue? Call it an education. If i know Segue.....he'd be swayed, lol Mick He has a major problem with young Geds voice on that recording for some reason. I will admit it is slightly different (more shrill maybe) than their other recordings of that time period. ATWAS may make his head explode....... :) I've said it before. I'll take shrill Geddy where i can understand every word over CA marble mouthed Ged. And it isn't that bad on Hemispheres anyway. Mick It isn't that bad on Hemispheres...even the band will admit it's bad. AFTK Geddy—Awesome CA Geddy—Really awesome PoW Geddy—The best PeW Geddy—Really awesome Hemi Geddy—not so much Even the band can be wrong.....they think CA is their best album after all, lol Mick

How is such blatant racism and the promotion of killing black people allowed on this board??? Why hasn't this person been banned??? It is in fact racist and doesn't belong here.

Nice to see a guy who's done it all, who's surrounded his life with the sport, speak clearly about the situation. Article was fine but missing two important words that I supplied. What is this match game? Could you highlight the words? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/04/Gene_Rayburn_the_match_game.jpg/220px-Gene_Rayburn_the_match_game.jpg Nice. I remember when it first came on I believe it was called Match Game 73'. I actually met him once in NY very briefly when I was a kid..... Edit: Apologies for the interrupt.

You know this thread couldn't get much worse. A little lighthearted discussion couldn't be anything but a good thing.

Hi, First post! Thought I'd share some pics of Alex playing the Supermarket in Toronto a few nights ago. RR Edit, I should add that this was for a CD release party for Karem Malicki-Sanchez. Alex produced and played on his CD! http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e25/redcirclestar/Alex1_zpsb779bdc2.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e25/redcirclestar/Alex2_zpse222303a.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e25/redcirclestar/AlexattheSupermarket_zpsaa0993b7.jpg

Sorry for the long, boring story you're about to read...I've been a pretty big RUSH fan since May of 2005, when a friend from college turned me on to them. I obviously started with the big hits, and slowly worked my way deeper into the catalog. A lot of it is tough to digest if you try to do it all at once, so I let myself progress a few songs at a time. Even side 1 of 2112 took me a while to warm up to, having just listened to Overture/Temples for a couple years...purchasing Different Stages was what made me realize the amazing beauty of the full-length 2112 suite. Over the 9 years I've been a fan, my favorite album has shifted from Moving Pictures to Permanent Waves, to Power Windows, then Clockwork Angels, then back to Power Windows...I'm at the point where I love so many RUSH songs, that I don't even HAVE a favorite album. For the most part, I've always liked "side 2" of Hemispheres (though I do prefer the S&A Live version of Circumstances), but Side 1, Cygnus X-1 Book II, has always eluded me. The epic suites have just taken a while for me to absorb. I still am not a Caress of Steel guy at all (but enjoy Bastille Day...and at age 31, I AM going bald, so I'm definitely not a fan of ITIGB!). Anyway, my knowledge of Book II: Hemispheres was, for the longest time, limited to the bit from the R30 medley. I tried a few times over the years, but just couldn't get through all 18 minutes. Then early this summer, I started listening to "Prelude" from the View from the Palace 1994 show on Youtube. I quickly got hooked on that. One day after work, I had some time to kill, and said "what the heck, let's give the full 18 minutes a shot!" Having gone through two break-ups this year (the first of which was the end of a 9-year relationship; the second being an incredibly stupid rebound with 36-year-old alcoholic), and having a history of doubting myself in the eyes of girls, I realized just how much I could relate to "the struggle between brain and heart." Not only was the subject matter close-to-home, but the music effing kicks ass!!! I'd say that for the past month, I've probably listened to the full Cygnus Book II suite once a day. I get it now!

He's not admitting that he was using cocaine. He was stating it as an example because of the way he was feeling emotionally at the time. So of all of the examples to go along with whiskey, which we know he has consumed for a long time, you're saying that he just picked the other example at random? Okay then, I guess we won't need to consider the symptoms of cocaine use either: What's so great about being high on coke? Cocaine users often describe the euphoric feeling as: an increasing sense of energy and alertness an extremely elevated mood a feeling of supremacy On the other hand, some people describe other feelings tagging along with the high: irritability paranoia restlessness anxiety Signs of using cocaine include: dilated pupils high levels of energy and activity excited, exuberant speech SOURCE: http://www.webmd.com...and-its-effects So yeah, if a local law enforcement officer in this town sees these symptoms from a low-income black guy, he could be put away for crack use if he tests positive. But then I guess I've seen too much in life, which makes me crazier than the morons who camp outside the band members' houses. Go figure. Dude, Your desperate. BTW, who cares if he had used it in the past. Let's say he did. Obviously he knew his limitations and moved on. As far as the whiskey goes. Who gives rat's a**!! I don't, actually. This silly argument started over how he managed to ride a bicycle for eight hours straight and was exacerbated from there. If you want to know what really gets to me, however, it's the idea of human superiority and the pursuit of it. And for what? What does a person whose tireless effort does little more than polish his or her image really accomplish in the long run? If you want to know what "desperate" truly is, you can start with those whose narcissism drive them to think that it's "worth it" to destroy themselves. You're hitting all time lows now with your posts. Now you want to criticize somebody for working extremely hard to be the best they can be at whatever passion they have in life. It's not a sin to want to be great. It's only through extreme hard work and "will" that Neil was able to elevate himself to elite status in the drumming world.(I would say it was worth it) Natural talent or not, ask any elite drummer what it took to get to that level and all I ever hear is about 5-6 hours a day for years and years and years. I admire Neil for being willing to put in the hard work. As far as Neil and cocaine, you are basing your opinion off of some lyric where he says no one could blame him "if" he decided to go down that dark path? Give me a break. I personally don't care whether he has used or not, but in your original post you stated it as if Neil wouldn't have been able to do those monster rides without the aid of cocaine. It's not cocaine, it's Neil's intense desire and I applaud him for it. Those that can do, those that can't or won't criticize.

David Gilmore has to be on that list. All emotion, that one. As does SRV...both Gilmour and SRV are more emotive than Alex. Maybe in the soulful sense, but I think Alex emotes in the crazy, out of the box maniacal sense where no one else can. La Villa, Xanadu, YYZ... all way far left of center but very emotive. Not sure if I explained that well. I suppose. Alex has always been more cerebral than emotive when compared to certain other players. Alex will sometimes play something, like a little arpeggiated chord progression or something, and it will make me feel an emotion that I've never felt before. Not many musicians do that for me, I think it's an incredible thing. That's why I would put him up there as one of the most emotive

Almost forgot my Rush dream from the other night. I will put it here. I had a dream I was at what was supposed to be a Rush concert. Many of you were there with me also. Anyway, we were anxiously awaiting them to appear on stage when all of a sudden word began to go around that the dates had gotten confused, and this wasn't a Rush concert. Sure enough. All of a sudden a band came on stage. And guess who it was? (Some of you are going to heartily dislike this!) The Police!!!! :rfl: :rfl: :rfl:

The only things my cats ever do is to let me know they want to eat. Opening kitchen cabinets. Following me around especially to the kitchen etc.... Aww . I think he's thinking, '...human... you will scratch my ears... or I will scratch your face...'. Tim comes and rubs on my leg when he wants his ears scratching.

I know I appreciate well parented kids. No doubt that being a parent can be difficult at times, but out there are parents who obviously don't give a damn, and it is those I'm mocking. Some say that no matter how much you prepare you can never be fully prepared for what it takes to be a parent. I believe that to be the truth. I hope you take my posts for what they are: a lighthearted poking fun on my own expense also :)

this is how Rodger lets me know that he wants his ears scratched. http://38.media.tumblr.com/55c28874a642aa156db61c4f12b877b3/tumblr_naic17noWP1s4zroko1_500.jpg

I agree with the headphones. Listening to how the sound is panned out really emphasizes the music. Same with Presto. Listening to it on headphones really makes it shine. I agree. It amazes me how many folks think its thin and not good at all frankly. I think at least 8-9 songs out of 11 are really good and sound well produced to my ears..... I have heard it countless times on headphones when I was out and about but never paid any attention on a conscious level. I just loved the music but now I know there might be more to it. Will pay closer attention next time :) I'll say one thing as I am/was admittedly a Rush 74'-85' fan I can't believe how good most of HYF and Presto are and I missed it 25 plus years ago. Second Nature may be in my top 10 songs by them all time already. Gives me chills every time I hear it in a similar way that In The End live always has.....

I too feel the need to punch the bad parents on the throat for populating this world with little monsters, the rest of us will spend the rest of our lives damage controlling. That's one of the reasons I shouldn't have kids at this moment; I'd become one of them. ;)

All you need to do to build up to that many pushups is start off with whatever you can do and as it gets easier just increase the amount incrementally, no need for any special training. Yeah, Duck is right on. No fancy regimens are required to be able to do lots of pushups. Just do them regularly and slowly up the number. There are lots of variations you can do too if you want to target additional muscles or if you're cruising through sets of the regular ones. I like diamonds and declines. One-arms are tough. Yes I know, but I use the app for fun. And that makes it fun :P. I'm not good at motivating myself so sticking to a schedule will help me. Perhaps later on it will have become a habit so I don't need the app to continue. What is diamonds and declines pushups? Gravity is too strong for me to use one-arms ;)

Tie Segue down and play hemispheres over and over and over until he likes it......i don't care how long it takes. Just get the job done, lol Mick

As long as I don't have to read his books Neil is cool with me..... :)

oh look it's me (and Geddy) under a pier

I would hate to go back and read all of my ignorant posts in the past regarding HYF, Presto and bits and pieces of the 90's stuff. At least I am still right about the year 2002 and beyond however...... I know i shit all over the 90's in my rant but i do like certain songs. The 00's are pretty dreadful. Even the beloved CA. Snakes i like but weirdly agree with every criticism, lol VT no matter how many "convert" I will always hate. Mick

Top five opening tracks (no order): 1. Distant Early Warning (I love this song, I feel it gets overlooked but its fantastic) 2. A Farewell To Kings (My favourite Rush album alongside HYF opens with this gorgeous track) 3. 2112 (one of the best songs ever recorded. Has to ve here) 4. Bastille Day (Just great. One of my favourite songs) 5. Caravan (beating Force Ten by a hair, this is just great. Sets the tone ans style of the album up perfectly! ) Bottom five: 1. Hemispheres (it is what it is...) 2. Anthem (Would have put this second, and opened with Fly By Night) 3. Dreamline (A great song, but I wish RTB opened with the title track) 4. Subdivisions (It always feels a little flat...great song but New World Man would have been a better choice) 5. Far Cry (its grown on me...SA deserves a second chance...)

The best thing is for him to just lay low for a while, and let the attention move elsewhere. He's still facing charges, which I don't see happening. But all the social media assholes, including the one right here in this thread are just waiting to pounce. And Ward's parents I'm sure have scumbag lawyers in their ears telling them about the money they can make right now. He'd never do it, but Stewart should file a preemptive suit against Ward's family. Their son's stupidity has created extreme emotional distress and loss of income. But he's in a no-win situation right now. He'd be crucified in the media. I'm sure you're right. Really I'm surprised he hasn't made a public statement of any kind at all though. You would think he would immediately say it wasn't intentional or he didn't see the guy. In a way that seems a bit suspicious that he hasn't said anything. Maybe so, But being involved in a person's death affects people in different ways. But, I agree he needs to make a statement at some point soon. Taking legal advise for sure.
