Happened to my grandparents early this year. Married 66 years, grandpa only survived six weeks after grandma. It is possible to die of a broken heart.

Carrie Fisher and her mom Debby Reynolds come to mind. 

I also think that President Carter is not long for this world either. And his time just got shorter.  He'll probably die of a broken heart. :(

Me neither.  I don't want a 'new' UI to learn. Enough already.

At this point I suspect that a P/G 40 will be eclipsed by a First Record 50....   Though I have no idea how they could possibly provide anything new for Rush that wasn't there a decade ago.

 

Gone at 72. He sang on their first record.

Is there even a point to any of this shit?

I tried to come up with something that would have a broader appeal figuring it would have a better chance of getting chosen.

Is P/G 40 going to not suck?

Why did Signals 40 suck ?

Never talking, just keeps walking, spreading his magic....

I was up way too late last night eating into it.  It's a page turner.

Les Binks the drummer wrote that part, it's his only credit with the band. 

Also same notes as ELO's 10538 Overture.....

I didn't even know there were new Geddy songs

Leftover material from MFH, apparently.   Awesome stuff...can't wait to hear them.

Combustion engines use what...5-10% of the burn as energy for motion?  The rest goes to heat. Right?

I'm not saying that we did a bad thing with that engineering.  But we need to do better. Somehow. Well before we run out of oil. 

For a few years we have all been saying that there is no Rush without Neil.  I've been phrasing that online as "There is no more Rush".

That might not necessarily be true anymore.

Holy shit.

And Geddy's Mom ultimately became their number 1 fan. :)

How do you get a drummer off you porch?

Pay him for the pizza.

I have no idea how emasculated brittle divorcees are going to feign dominance on inner city roads now.

The rednecks are gonna lose their shit when the only models available are hybrid or full on EV.

Drumming is usually the first instrument/player in a band that suffers at the hand of aging, so they may *need* to at some point (also of note: The Moody Blues did this).

Time will tell - but I don't see it happening.   DT is a players band.  Either everyone playing is at the top of their game, or they aren't..and there's no more DT.


Seems like that pattern has been discussed before with another player's band some of us might be slightly familiar with.....

Cool Ranch Doritos

voodoo koodoo, some lady with a straight-pin has a message for you.... 

I saw them open for Twisted Sister at RCMH back in 86, and again opening for everyone else at Monsters of Rock, 2 years later.

Fun little band.  Almost forgot about them.
