Welcome! I'm fairly new to this forum, too! I think you'll like it here! We tend to post some pretty naughty comments about the guys when new pictures are added. I hope you don't mind. I found this forum when I was exploring 1990s - present Rush and it really is a great place to hang out and to learn more about the band.

I volunteer doing hippotherapy and therapeutic riding and two of our kids with cerebral palsy had massive strides today. That just made my day and probably made the kids' (and parents') day as well.

Here is a great article with some yummy pictures of young Geddy. Style Icon: Geddy Lee

MUSE. I will be the short girl jumping up and down singing at the top of my lungs to all of the songs. And knocking down all of the Twilight fans. Damn them for suddenly being fans of MUSE.

Thanks to both, The Maples and realomind! I appreciate the warm welcomes.

I'm gonna sound really dumb saying this, but even famous opera singers (with years of professional, super expensive training) start sounding like crap into their fifties and sixties (hence the later famed PBS specials ala Beverly Sills, God rest her soul). I can't blame him. I think he still sounds great.

Yay, philosophy! Nothing's better than a bunch of depressed guys.

 

This is technically from Specters of Marx, but I like it in relation to Derrida's final interview, Learning to Live Finally "To live, by definition, is something one learns. Not from oneself, it is not learned from life, taught by life. Only from the other and by death" (14) I could probably quote that entire text (not from memory).

 

From Entre Nous not by RUSH (hehe!) but by Levinas. "... one hand touches the touching... it as if space were touching through man" (112). "... the essential thing is to approach unity. The essential thing is fusion. We say that love is a fusion, that it triumphs in fusion" (113). And basically the rest of that chapter, especially where he praises the ladies.

 

And...

 

"I always wanted to be somebody. Now I see that I should have been more specific." -Lily Tomlin, which I happened to have taken out of Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly Gates, which I highly recommend over any other philosophical text any day.

So, after 9 months of messing around with this weird skin rash I develop on and off, the doctor is thinking that I have Lupus (even though my initial tests for the came back negative).  I won't know anything for a while, because the blood work is just the first step to diagnosis.  After the blood work comes consultations with rheumatologists, and possibly dermatologists, then maybe they will come to a general consensus.  Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else here deals with Lupus or any other autoimmune disorders?  I know that Lupus is very treatable, and I am otherwise incredibly healthy, so I am not "fearful," just apprehensive.  Being diagnosed with a chronic disease that will effect me for the rest of my life at the ripe old age of 32 is not too appealing to me.  I guess I will just deal with it as I need to.

Ooo, I'll just pop over here...

 

I've always dated/been attracted to older men (ah, when I was ten and attracted to "Remains of the Day" Anthony Hopkins. WTF). The problem I've encountered is that most men in reality don't really fit the bill (plus it doesn't help that I'm a smartass). Either way, this is a lovely place to chill and I finally replaced the wallpaper on my computer from a picture of my horse to a picture of Geddy... *giggles* I'll probably go back to ye olde mare though. I always do. But the change is quite nice.

 

EDIT

 

One of my favorite images. I grew up on SCTV and Bob and Doug McKenzie. Little did I know that Geddy did the vocals on Take Off! for their album...

Welcome garbo! I too am new here, and while not exactly new to Rush, my major rediscovery of them was at my first show Sept. 2nd! Like waking up from the dead! And I too have fallen under Geddy's spell Carrie

thanks so much for the lovely welcomes! i feel so cozy already. and i promise not to borrow any clothing...

I just watched the Coen brothers' Oscar-winning film "No Country for Old Men" and freakin' loved it! Which got me thinking I should read the book, and perhaps other books by Cormac McCarthy. The guy's won a Pulitzer for fiction and has gotten a lot of accolades from critics; he's supposed to be very very good. Any fans with recommendations? I'm thinking of "No Country for Old Men" and "The Road" (Pulitzer winner; most recent book) and "Blood Meridian."

hello all, i am new to the boards, semi- new to rush (as stated above). i have been listening to rush for quite some time, although i have only all-too recently begun the only seemingly obvious endeavor to purchase albums, dvds, et al to add to my collection, and hopefully, see them live in concert.

 

i am also, obviously since i am posting in here, a female (under the age of thirty, above the age of legality, meaning twenty-one). i am also nearly (nearly) canadian. that deserves a story unto itself, but alas, i cannot tell it here due to time.

 

i am a geddy girl, finding him seemingly attractive and may add to some jealous rage that i do play upright bass (my main instruments are voice and violin), although i find neil's intellect appealing and alex's goofiness is indeed charming. otherwise, i look forward to chatting with you gals and hope to explore this place a bit more. i cannot promise to be particularly loquacious, seeing as i am not an avid internet user, however, i shall try. and if i have any questions, i shall be certain to drop them here.

 

cheers.
