RushRevisited

Lerxst Lady, it sounds to me IMHO that the interviewer here got caught with his pants down and is trying to save his skin. I also have serious question about the NYE comments as well. I can't see him saying how "brutal" it was, etc etc at a point in time like this. Just doesn't seem like something he would say with the case still looming....

Maybe we should post in the Rush area that this is where the game is now if people are looking

QUOTE (Jack Aubrey @ Sep 13 2004, 08:57 PM) From our friends at Dark Horizons: Toronto-raised comedy director Ivan Reitman will be in the city Tuesday but not for the festival, rather to finalise a deal to finance and executive produce a Canadian movie about homegrown trailer trash according to The Hollywood Reporter. Reitman will executive produce the comedy that stars Ricky, Bubbles and Julian, the main characters of "Trailer Park Boys," a 4-year-old cult TV hit in Canada that now airs on BBC America. The series follows three Nova Scotia dope-smoking ex-convicts living among friends and family in the fictional Sunnyvale Trailer Park, and is shot in the style of a faux documentary. The hard-living characters have become Canadian icons in only a few short years on cable but the show only crossed the border in recent months. The project will be directed by the TV show's creator, director and writer Mike Clattenburg. The Canadian government is planning on using Reitman's boxoffice pull as the centerpiece of its strategy to boost the domestic boxoffice there to 5% by 2006. Woohoo!!!! I love this show, as raw as it is.... One discrepency with Dark Horizons, though, Bubbles is not an ex-con Ricky and Julian are for sure, but not Bubbles. They even kept him out at the end of the 3rd seasons when they flipped the trailor running from the cops (Bubbles pretends he is a farmer on the land LOL ) Can't wait to see this movie!!! Thanks for the info Jack!

What happened to Yoda?? Hey Yoda! You got the answer right!!

http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0408/ring_lewin.jpg Explanation: What caused this ring of colors? At the time of this writing, MIT Physics Professor Walter Lewin had yet to find someone who can give the correct explanation. Not students. Not colleagues. Not APOD editors. He wonders how the astute readers of APOD will do. Can you match wits with Professor Lewin? Lewin took the above picture in a construction area in Massachusetts on June 20. Your answer should be able to explain the color sequence and the bright area in the center. Shortly after he gives the explanation on December 7 during a lecture in his course Vibrations and Waves at MIT, APOD will carry a link to it. A discussion page for this image will be held in the APOD Forum on the Asterisk*. Additionally, Professor Lewin will answer appropriate e-mail questions and guesses sent to asklewin@space.mit.edu

QUOTE (CygnusX-1Bk2 @ Sep 9 2004, 08:55 PM) I am not one to bother celebrities, but I am not above it. Bob Crane (Col. Hogan) I met him at a Buddy Rich/Louie Bellson concert in 1978 (my first "professional" concert). He was a drummer and happened to be at the show. Got his autograph on the show program. Robin Williams #1 Met him at the PSA (former airline) counter at the SF airport just after John Belushi's death in 1982. Apparently we were all on the same plane from southern California. My brother got his autograph on a scrap of paper. Williams looked drugged, but was very pleasant. Chris Holmes (WASP) They were opening for KISS in 1986 on the second no-make-up tour. I was on the rail in front of some PA speakers, just zoning out big time, staring off into the distance. Holmes motioned to me trying to get my attention to see if I was ok. I shook my head and regained full consciousness and noticed Mr. Holmes motioning to me. I looked up, smiled, and acknowledged what seemed genuine concern for me (let's face it, concerts can get rough). He said "OK" and smiled and continued to rock on. He gave me a pick that I can no longer find. It was made of metal. Very cool. I always thought this was a cool gesture from a guy in a band I didn't like that much (at the time). Whenever I see a WASP video or the Decline of the Western Civilization I reflect on this incident. He's alright in my book, despite being a drunken mess a lot of the time. Peter Erskine Met him at a drum clinic at Drum World in Daly City (near SF) in the mid 80s. Told him about the old Slingerland catalog from 1976 I had with him in it. He commented about the crappy finish those drums had. Surprisingly Neil was not in that catalog, otherwise I would have known about Rush then. Kenny Aaronoff My friend Adam and I had a long discussion with him following a drum clinic at a local Guitar Center. We spoke for about 2 hours about different aspects of drumming. A really cool guy. Met him again 2 years later and he remembered us. Les Paul #1 and Steve Vai At Les Paul day at the House of Blues in LA in 1994. Talked to Les for a bit after the show. He signed my Epiphone Sheraton (a semi-hollow guitar like Alex's old 355) as well as my dad's Gold Top Les Paul. A very nice guy. During the show Slash and Steve Vai were inches from me (onstage). At one point I talked to Vai and tried to give him a tape of my drumming, which he of course declined to take. Can't blame me for trying. Robin Williams #2 I had just started school at the Academy of Art College in SF back in 1995 and was walking around the city checking out where my classes were to be held. I saw Mr. Williams walk into a software store as I walked down the street. After walking a few more steps down the street I realized who he was and sheepishly walked into the store. I walked up to him and said that I really enjoyed his work and shook his hand. He seemed a bit nervous, but I am pretty harmless. I mentioned the story of seeing him at the airport and told him that I had just started film school. He wished me luck and I was on my way. Very genuine man. Shorter than me, and I am not really tall at 5' 9". Joe DiMaggio My family was in a suite at the Oakland Coliseum for an A's game and we noticed that in the suite one over from ours there was old Mr. Coffee himself. My grandfather played ball with his brother Dom in the 30s and 40s. We saw him exit his suite and my grandfather wanted to say hi. We approached him from behind and he became rather unnerved and before we could say anything he said that he didn't give autographs. My grandfather said that he played ball with his brother but he wanted nothing to do with us. Oh well. He was dead a couple of years later. Poor guy never got over a lot of stuff. Les Paul #2 and then some Les Paul plays every Monday in NYC and everytime my dad and I are in town we go to see him play (in fact my dad was there last week during the convention). I had him sign a pickguard from my newest Les Paul. I mentioned the LA show in '94 and he said "Some guy brought a hollowbody for me to sign." I said that was me. I showed him the Epiphone catalog with him in it and he signed that too. He said that some of the Epiphones were better than the Gibsons. NAMM 2004: Bill Bruford, Chris Squire, Alan White, Eric Bloom, Terry Bozzio, Carmine and Vinny Appice, Danny Carey, Rudy Sarzo, Chester Thompson, Dave Weckl, Simon Phillips, Steve Smith, Stewart Copeland, and many more than I can remember. Most of these were casual but I had pix taken with a few of these. James Hetfield I was getting a hot dog for lunch a couple of weeks ago and Hetfield was having a dog with his young son. He was all cleaned up, despite his tattoos. He looked at me as I figured out why I recognized him. I'm not that big of a Metallica fan. I didn't want to intrude, plus I couldn't think anything clever to say other than "Can't wait for the movie" (which I was not) or "You guys really suck now that Cliff is gone." He had a look like I was going to bother him. Must be the hair. There are others, but this is more than plenty. My boss is very famous, but I can't say who he is without being fired. Very cool Cyg! Thank you for sharing! I have heard Robin Williams is extremely nervous/shy kinda like Neil Peart with the public - did you sense that? (Particularly maybe in the later meet)

VERY cool!!! Man he looked different then!
