  1. Just whistling at the French in general, it`s kind of relaxing. But it did make my holiday in Paris a bit harrowing.

  2. So that's 3,000 pounds please, Mr. Jem, to stop us from revealing your name, the name of the three other people involved, the youth organization to which they belonged, and the shop where you bought the equipment.

  3. I know it's only human to say, 'Oh this will never happen to me', and of course, it won't. I'm asking you, please, please, send no contributions, however large, to me.

  6. Yes, yes, I do follow, Mr. Simon, but you see the snag is...if I now call Mr. 73, and say to him, 'look here, I've got a fourty-seven-year-old chartered accountant with me who wants to be an administrator', his first question is not going to be 'does he have his own hat?'

  11. Did they change jerseys at half-time? Why is France playing like Poland...or Wales...or Morocco?

  12. Yes, remembering of course that you have to multiply everything 73 says by three. It's nothing he can help, you understand. Otherwise he's perfectly all right.

  16. I totally agree with you. I just wish Ian would hang up his Tull boots. If he wishes to continue as a solo artist or form a new group then fine, but just don't sully the Tull legacy with the current inferior output. Frankly some of the comments he has made to try to justify a continuation of Tull without Martin Barre are just embarrassing.

  17. She's also a huge f***in nerd. Nerds don't party. I've seen that a lot of musicians over the last 10-15 years have learned from the mistakes older ones and are not partying and really do take care of themselves with exercise and stay away from the substance abuse. Cristina is 50 and still looks as amazing as ever. She definitely takes care of herself.

  21. I love Tull. I like every Tull album and love most of them. They only have one absolutely awful album. Thoroughly unlistenable. Under Wraps is terrible. I love Too Old. I never understood the dislike for that or for War Child. I used to find A difficult, it's probably still my second least favorite (haven't given Zealot a fair shot yet), but A still has a lot to offer. There is nothing good on Under Wraps.

  25. Well, now we`ll all know whose bloody fault it is when Infantino announces his genius plan for referees to blow their whistle and announce "...we`ll be right back with this spot kick after these important messages".

  26. I'd concur with most of that. Though I would say that the only "post A" album I liked was Roots to Branches. Has some moments; though the sound is very dated. Saw Ian perform a couple years ago. He was voice was.... not good. (and that is the nicest possible way I can put that.) The current idea of Jethro Tull is an abomination. IMHO, it is not Tull without Martin Barre (who, btw, still puts on shows that are vastly superior to what is now called the Tull band.)

  27. 1982 MTV I was 12, had an interest in playing the drums. My parents had just gotten cable TV the year before. I spent a good bit of that summer watching the wide variety of early MTV vids. At school, some friends all talked about Rush. One went with his older brother to see them (Carrier Dome, Signals tour.) Then I saw the videos on MTV - mostly the ESL videos, Subdivisions, and Countdown. They also had the midnight showings of Exit Stage Left. I was captivated by the drums and the whole atmosphere that they created - unlike all that pop crap that my sister listened to! (around that point in time, I did discover lots of other bands, Zep, Floyd, Yes, etc.) For my birthday that year, one friend got me Moving Pictures, another (the one that went to the show) got me 2112. I convinced my parents to allow me to take drum lessons and I played in my Middle school band. The following Xmas, my parents got me a small kit. I advanced quickly - really inspired by the Professor. My friends noted that I could air drum very accurately to all of MP (it would be years before I could actually do that on a kit!) I auditioned for the high school bands and got into the top school groups. I also started my own rock band (one of the first primitive songs we played was "No one at the Bridge"; our repetoire soon expanded!) In the Fall of 84, I finally got to see my first Rush show - P/G tour at the Glens Falls (NY) Civic center. By my sophomore year of HS, my band had pulled an upset victory in the Battle of the Bands - part of our encore set included "What You're Doing". My Neil infatuation hit full stride - subscribing and absorbing every issue of modern drummer, building my album collection (to all of them!) Started collecting anything and everything Rush. I wanted to play and look like them. My band continued through HS and then new bands during college....at that time, I wrote a letter to Neil via Modern Drummer in 1988; and to my delight, Neil responded to me with a postcard (did this again in 94; both of which are framed and hang above my desk.) After school, my career started in Florida and I had some money to travel to see shows (and I did - 12 on TFE tour! and obtained a pair of sticks from Larry Allen on the Cp tour) Met some like-minded musicians, wrote and recorded demos, got some record label interest (but never "made it"), got my own little column in Modern Drummer magazine, etc. Met my wife through a band-mate. Now I'm 52; some 49 shows under my belt, the music engrained in my brain, a lifetime of memories, and my semi-pro career in music continues; all inspired by those early viewings of Rush on MTV...
