    Going to concert for Rush's "Hold Your Fire" tour stop in Toronto with tickets donated directly by Alex Lifeson who lived in the condo on Bloor St. in Toronto that my buddy worked as Security Guard! I would have otherwise missed the concert entirely because, in those days, I spent every last dime on music gear and LP's and couldn't afford "big ticket" concerts and, admittedly, I wasn't following them as closely during their heavy synth period. But, the day of the show, Lerxst just handed 2 tickets to my buddy on his way out the door, presumably on his way to their soundcheck. And then I got that awesome phone call...

      Update: RUSH won with 50.8% of the vote to KANSAS's 49.2%. Of course, apart from the fact that these polls are just time fillers completely at the mercy of whoever happened to surf by during the polling period, the "elimination" format (much like a tennis tournament) makes such polls all the more meaningless. STILL, it's nice to see our boys get some "cred", especially given the inclusion of the ubiquitous AC/DC.

      Also, it was the elimination format that was used when our own fair-haired boy Lerxt claimed the NUMBER 2 spot in Guitar World magazine's recent "Greatest Guitarist of All Time" poll, coming 2nd only to Eddie-I-did-too-much-coke-and-now-I-have-a-severe-personality-disorder-Van Halen!
