RushRevisited

To reel in a female fan, start with Panacea, followed by Tears. Close the deal with Speed of Love. That's how I hooked Lorraine. The one that my wife always liked (still not what I would call a Rush "fan", though) was Cold Fire.

I would put the Rush fan ratio men to women as about 500:1. We could argue as to why, but it is indeed true and always has been.

Thank you!!!

Yes, I know who he is. I am saying his name is spelled wrong on this CDV. There is no "e" in his last name. https://en.wikipedia...iki/Rob_Quartly https://imvdb.com/n/rob-quartly https://www.producti...ob-quartly.html

Just a weird CD/CDV all together Just a weird CD/CDV across the board. The misspelling of Rob Quartly's name is odd on top of everything else. Unless it is a different Rob Quartly spelled Quartley but I doubt that.

This makes sense then as to why it wouldn't play on a laser disc player back then.

CD Video was targeted toward teenagers who watched music videos on MTV. However, few of them were familiar with LaserDiscs, and far fewer owned CDV-compatible players at the time. Buying a costly new player was not an option just for the minor use of playing a single music video more easily accessible through a VHS videocassette, either purchased pre-recorded or recorded off a television programme with a VCR. An early digital video format targeted toward a demographic known for having limited discretionary income, and who likely had no means of playing the disc if they bought it. Weird that CDV didn't catch on... What is weird, however is that it won't play on an laser disc player (at least it wouldn't in the 80s on my friends). Maybe a special player was made back then just for CDVs?

Nope, DVDs weren't around yet. When I bought it I thought laser disc, as that was the newer thing in the 80s, yet it wouldn't fit or play on my friends laser disc system (the size of laser discs were more the size of LPs).

I don't think a bootleg. First of all, I bought in a major record store (Camelot, if anyone remembers them) and second of all, no one but the music industry had the ability to cut and produce a CD like this. This was around 1988 or so...

I was going through my old CD box for my son and came across a weird Rush CD from the Power Windows era (actually it is apparently a "CD Video" as well as a CD). I posted about this about 15 years ago and no one seemed to have any info, so thought I would see if anyone has any info on this CD as well as share with you all... It is labeled as a "CD Video", titled "The Big Money". It has 3 audio tracks (The Big Money, Red Sector A, and Marathon) and 1 video "The Big Money". I have never been able to play the video on any unit, from back in 198something when I bought it (came across it at a Tape/CD store) to now even in days of computers and codecs for video players. If inserted into a computer it only shows the audio tracks. I have tried flipping the disc over and it won't read... Producer shows "Alan Weinrib", Geddy's brother. Producer shows "Rob Quartley" - Which, if it is the music producer Rob Quartly, it is spelled wrong on the CD (there is no "e" in Rob Quartly's name). Any ideas on this?

Hell yeah!! :cheers:

So grep, how do you explain that the number of "confirmed cases" is going up yet the deaths are clearly going down? (Hint: testing)

Looking at your state, your deaths are going down: So what could possibly be going on in 5 weeks that would cause say 5 times the number of cases (in your county anyway) in a 5 weeks period? Maybe doing 5 times the amount of daily tests compared to 5 weeks ago? Crazy, but seems like the more people we test the more "positive cases" we find. You are doing almost exactly 5x the amount of tests from 5 weeks ago. (2,000 daily tests 5 weeks ago, almost 10,000 now). I was just stating the facts about my county. We've been very fortunate to have no deaths from covid-19. I also know that our good fortune could change at any time. Yes, we've been testing more people, which is always a good thing. We're discovering how widespread the virus is. Our #1 concern in La Crosse County is irresponsible people going out and about (taverns, beaches, fest grounds, etc.), contracting the virus, and spreading it to more and more people. When that happens, the likelihood of people dying from the virus will increase. I'm 58 years old and I live with and take care of my mother, who is 80 years old and has several major health issues, such as diabetes and heart/lung issues. If some young and irresponsible person happens to infect me at a grocery store, or at my place of employment, what should I do? Should I go live in a motel until I test negative...assuming that I don't die? Should I tell my mother, "Hey, Ma, we don't matter, because the economy is far more important than our lives."?? Shall I tell her that we're part of the "Acceptable Losses" statistic? Yes. Sorry. There are dangers in the world and quite frankly your mother probably has a much bigger chance of dying from something else. We don't shut down the world because someone might get sick. You have 118,000 people in La Crosse County. You have had 195 "confirmed" cases and 0 deaths. Seriously, think about that for a minute. Is that really something to be worried about on the level you seem to be? Because your mother is elderly and has health issues you should be careful, just as you should during the flu season. Wow, what a heartless comment. Bet your point of view would alter significantly if someone you know gets COVID 19. It just saddens me that so many think they have the right to endanger others lives with such arrogance. Yes people die every day but purposefully telling some one tough sh*t you weren't lucky is clueless. :eyeroll: Quoted for truth. You wouldn't know the truth if it smacked you in the side of your head. You came in here harassing a good standing member, Narps, all over this place, spewing absolute false information - absolute complete lies - saying how the r0 factor was as high as 5, exaggerating every single number you spewed out to create some scare or panic. I presented you with facts and instead of discussing them or debating them, you ran away. Quoted for truth? LMAO. You are pathetic. r0 can be as high as 5. They just don't know yet. But ...that's a lie. 120,000 dead in 4 months, cases are spiking after the re-openings. Yet I've been full of shit. Anyway, I'm still here. Just letting you rant and rave. Call me some more names. Come on - I want you to. 'Pathetic' isn't nasty enough. Let it all out. Why do you keep editing your post? Now 4 times you have edited it.

Current chart of U.S. deaths from Covid (even as we already KNOW that this number is inflated as I have pointed out in articles such as the guy in Colorado who died with a BAC of .45 yet was labeled as a covid death): We should be happy to see that people like grep have been wrong since day one. We should be celebrating it. Yet some of you almost seem disappointed. Weird.

Let it all out Yet I have proven to you that it is not 5.0 (or 5.6 which you claimed). It isn't 5.0 or 5.6 or anything close to that. I have proven that to you in link after link. Mathematically it isn't even possible at this point. How can you even claim that still? http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?/topic/109300-who-has-the-virus-tell-us-when-you-get-it/page__st__800#entry4769342

And for the record, my parents are in their 80s, my father is in horrible health and their opinion is that living under some ridiculous lockdown isn't living, even if it was as bad as they thought this was going to be 4 months ago (and it ended up NOT being as bad as they thought), They would rather be dead than to not be able to see family, friends, go out and enjoy their life.

Yes people die every day but purposefully telling some one tough sh*t you weren't lucky is clueless. :eyeroll: Wow how disingenuous. Could you please point to where I said "tough shit you weren't lucky"? Nope. Principled man expressed such concern of what he calls "a 600% increase in confirmed cases in 5 weeks" (!!!!). Which, when presented as number instead of a percentage designed to make it look worse than it is, is actually only an additional 150 people or so. I presented fact with graphs and links showing that while the number of cases in 5 weeks increased, the number of tests also increased almost exactly the same amount - 5 times, from 2,000 to 10,000 tests daily. And his response is some post about his mother being 80 and might get sick??? WTF?? How about he be happy that his fear is once again unjustified since he is concerned about his mother. Funny, I see people like you as the heartless people. You don't care that more than 21 million people are now suddenly unemployed, unable to feed their families, unable to pay their rent or mortgage, an increase in unemployment rate and soon to be poverty rate unseen since the great depression. You don't care about people like my wife who still cannot get scheduled for annual mammogram, who is high risk of cancer. You don't care about people's delayed cancer screenings, With 1.8 million people in the US alone diagnosed with cancer, how many will be diagnosed later now due to 2-3 months of no screenings ("non essential", remember?) and already be beyond help/medical treatment? You don't care about the suicide rate increasing due to unemployment and increased poverty, expected to increase by 20,000 from the 48,000 annual average. You don't care about the effects of new alcohol and drug addictions already being directly associated with the "lockdown" Were you this concerned a couple years ago when 60,000 - -80,000 in the US alone died from the flu? No, of course you weren't. Why not? Do you only start caring when the media shoves it down your throat and gives you a daily count in number of deaths? Were you concerned in 2009-2010 when 15,000 - 20,000 died from the N1H1 virus? Nope, I bet you weren't. And I bet you weren't demanding people stay home, shut down their businesses and go broke losing everything they have worked for their entire life. Take a good look in the mirror before you say I'm being heartless, you f***ing asshole. The effects of your desired shutdown are far worse than this virus.

It was You Can't Fight It.

WHO ARE YOU? Who Who... Who Who?

Now the WHO says that spreading the virus asymptomatically is actually rare. The WHO is a joke.

Oh, it can and it likely already has. We're f***ed. Then why haven't Drs. Fauci and Birx been on TV telling people the risk they're creating? Why when I watch the news coverage of the riots don't I hear much talk about the lack of "social distancing?" Last night here in the Boston area protestors gathered in a group larger than 10 (by about 500) outside a Boston Police station. One officer took a knee at the protestors' request and held hands with some of the protestors. The news anchor showing the footage talked about how poignant the moment was. Of course, on my morning run I still see people cross the street to avoid being less than 10 yards away from another person. My point is more about the rank hypocrisy here. Are the authorities only going to enforce the rules against people who are inclined to follow them? 5000 protestors aren't being called #covidiots but 20 people in a pool are? Why is that? I don't have a good answer. It's obvious that there's greater chance for spread in a large group that isn't taking precautions. Why the media doesn't point this out with regularity? IDK. It has been mentioned in some coverage I've seen. Also, interestingly, many protestors do wear masks. We all react differently to things. Some pay attention, some don't. You seriously don't know why the media doesn't point this out with regularity? Please explain it for me. Like I'm 5. You'll survive not being able to figure it out. You're a survivor.

I'm not planning on dying anytime soon. I've fought too hard to get along and survive this far. Not gonna' let this thing take me out. Well if you consider hiding in your house and not doing anything but cowering in fear "living" then live away. That's your choice and I support you choosing whatever you choose to do. Just don't dictate that I have to live with the same baseless fear as you. This is great. you don't know exactly how I'm handling it, what my strategy and tactics are specifically. You keep asking, I'll keep being evasive. :) Because you are a fear mongering tool. If you had any facts on your side, you would be happily spraying them out right here. I'm sure when the numbers to go up (yep! Even I think they will potentially!) you will come here and say the world is ending. Don't be so sure. Sitting on your ass in your house can contribute to a much bigger killer - heart disease.
