Anyone had close calls with wildfires? Here where I live in Oklahoma, we've had two close calls within three days. I drove through the damage tonight. Embers still burning in houses, sheds, barns, and trees in the Glencoe, OK fire. Take the burn ban seriously folks.

The instrumentals are the best part of S&A...nothing dragging about them...just genius.

Never sacrifice security for liberty.NEVER. That way lies oppression.

They did what they do best: they made excellent music and weren't blackmailed by society or authority. That's what they've done since and it has been awesome.

Halo Effect...what Neil Peart describes is very dangerous...I would know, I did it once.

They had a story to tell, but I still wish there was at least one instrumental, considering how awesome their instrumentals ALWAYS are.

Pleasure dome...Anne Hathaway, PS3 with 60in TV, RUSH, and rib buffet would all be there...it would be awesome.

English, Irish, German, Scottish, and Choctaw. True American. Go 'Murica! No, seriously my Mom has traced back to the 1700s, when my Dad's family came over before the revolution and settled in South Carolina. My Mom's family immigrated from Germany and Ireland respectively in the 1880s. Pretty cool really...I have Choctaw skin, German nose, and red-tinted hair from the Irish.

"The dogs will eat well" "In heaven's hell" "Forging bonds of humanity" "Shot heard 'round the world" "Finding the high road" "Rushing into disaster" "My kingdom for a horse!"

So yes, I am to blame somewhat. While not so vehement, I do rag on her music too. But this all started when we first met and were talking about music. I played her Dreamline (had just bought Roll the Bones). About 15 seconds in she made a nasty face and said it sounded like "70s rock and I don't like it". So this has been a re-occuring problem. I just thought the acoustic awesomeness of Hope might catch her ear...it didn't. I do admit I was trying the ambush her with it though so maybe I am guilty of something.

2112 blows me away because: 1) the musicianship is amazing. Lifeson really shines through all 20 minutes, but especially in the Discovery part 2) Peart's use of Ayn Rand's story floors me 3) the backstory behind the anger and rebellion in the music intrigues me
