Two of my favourite writers

Benedictine. I have a horrible cold and Benedictine makes an excellent cough syrup.

I guess it depends on where you look for credits, because I've seen lots that just say Lee/Lifeson. And in some times and places the lyrics writer gets more or less than the writer(s) of the music. Also this inquiring mind wants to know whether Al and Ged legally changed their names. I know Geddy legally changed Gary to Geddy but don't know about the surname. And I have no idea about Al.

So how come nearly all the Rush song say Lee/Lifeson with no mention of the lyrics? There must be some legal thing behind it unless they never expected anyone to cover a Rush song and make a ton of money from it. And for all I know the Canadian laws are different from the US ones. After all, Michael Jackson owned the rights to the Beatles songs for years and refused Paul's offers to buy them back

Ferry cross the Mersey. -- Gerry and the Pacemakers

I voted for Jeff because I think he's played a wider variety of roles but that's partly because Rusty has been typecast in recent years. People just think of him as a tough guy and he can do so much more. I'm sure not swimmin the Hollywood pool and spending time back here doesn't help him get those roles either.

I think there will be non-Rush music coming out of the two of them. Let it simmer for a while. They're musicians. It's what they do

I saw Chick Correa live a couple of times. Really great. Sometimes Tull can slip over into the genre. And I saw the Mahavishnu Orchestra once. Gosh you're making me feel old.

Fantastic Beasts and How to Find Them. Trying out my Chromecast.

You're a sweetheart, ORFie! I need something to keep my mind off my deteriorating body.

IVIG for at least another 4 months. Wouldn't be surprised if it got extended. Glad I'm not in the US where it costs a lot more than nothing which what our health system manages

Ice cream, eggs, OJ, yoghurt, cat food (of course), grapes, bananas, Turkish sandwiches, etc.

As an introduction to this partly pity party, I should admit that last Saturday I fell in my kitchen and broke my left arm. Fractured the humerus in two places. This was extremely painful and due to other medical issues I was forced to call the EMTs to scrape me off the floor and take me to hospital. I spent 2 days there before they would let me go home with my arm in a sling. One of the other medical issues is that I have really crappy balance and losing one arm doesn't help that. My ex is arriving from the US tomorrow and I had a load of groceries delivered today. When the delivery guy came, the blankety-blank cat decided to make a break for it. I went into the driveway to head her off and promptly fell again, causing another call to the ambos (what we call EMTs here), who got me up again. Groceries got delivered, my next door neighbor helped put them away and look for the cat. The cat remained in hiding for 3+ hours while I panicked. She's a Burmese of very little sense. All up, by 10PM everything was back in it's place and I'm exhausted. Nothing is ever simple it seems.

How far are you in the CD project? I'm hoping to get my vinyl out of the shed soon and may have to convert some of that if it's still of decent condition. If it isn't, it's off to the used record store.

Discounted chocolate Easter bunny

Let's face it, girls. We're living on hope. I'd be content to have a decent personal conversation with him. I just think he's a very intelligent, multi-faceted human being. We could talk baseball and I would be happy.

I usually stop after the first set of R40 myself. I can't listen to anything past Time Machine. Ged's voice is just shot and it hurts to hear him try to reach the high notes. He ends up shouting rather than singing.

I watched the video where he deconstructed SOR and showed how "easy" the intro was. Then he commented that it was easier to play slowed down but then proceeded to rip through it like a hot knife through butter. The man is a genius!

Damp weather (I have arthritis)

I liked his early stuff but then got too big for himself. From the time he did Uptown Girl onwards I tune him out

Guardians of the Galaxy. Rocket Is NOT cute

Is it hard to get tequilla there? Not at all. Especially if you're willing to pay $$$. El Patron is everywhere but now I'm into premium stuff. Always somebody willing take my money. And home delivery. Same for scotch

Tarantulas

You've said the magic word! My how I love my tequila! I'm working on a bottle of Dulce Vida organic 100 proof silver at the moment which is quite lovely. When I discovered that good tequila could be sipped and savoured and not thrown in a margarita or just slugged, a whole new world opened up.
