  1. Logged in to say 2112 on the DVD of the Clockwork Angels Tour. Watched the concert over two days, now ending with the Encore, 2112, and just amazing. The audience shouting "Hey!" with instrumentals and the stage visuals, very fun to watch again.
  2. The Guys have created a mustard with Henderson Brewery and Kozlik Mustard - RUSH Golden Ale Mustard. Weird? Cool? I think it's cool. I do like their mustards, why not give this one a try? It's not listed on the website (Hmmm...) but is listed on RUSH Backstage, and I have ordered from there lots so I think it's a real thing. Alex offers a funny description of the science and significance of this new addition to the Kozlik category.
  3. Clicked the link to Citizens First email to ask about fundraising. Will see what they suggest. Edit: Oops, the link is www.stcatherines.ca/neilpeart
  4. Not sure if this is common knowledge, but Spielberg used Tom Sawyer in the movie version of Ready Player One. Is that why you are reading the books? No, not everything is about RUSH but it seems like a good reference/first step in being interested in the franchise?
  5. I think a helmet somewhere on a shelf or on the floor with a map spread out (like a rug) would include a huge part of his life. (Not ignoring family and friends and challenges of being away - just saying the road and seeing so many of his self-shots on the bike with that big dark helmet would be great to see).
  6. Thank you BetterCallSaul for seeing this and posting it here. What a gem, and as all above, hoping to see more! Cheers!
  7. I will donate some, it looks great! And very happy it is about more than drumming. I will look again, closer, but some kind of motorcycle element would be very appreciated. Or even including a snowshoe somehow. But looks awesome!
  8. We have just returned from a trip south of the border to Duluth for three days, our closest fun shopping and dining get-away destination. After almost three years, we are trying to return to a sense of "normal". At a small boutique shop (at Fitger's - in case said person is watching...) I was looking for an aged bottle of The Macallan, to see if the exchange rate and price was better than our local LCBO choices. Turns out the prices were not very different. So I asked the proprietor if he would consider a discount for Canucks long absent but returning to the scene - joking, in a sincere sort of way. Sorry, no. Prices are rising everywhere. Fine. Would you consider a discount to a RUSH fan, the drummer being a big fan of said label. He looked up at me and asked You're a RUSH fan? Yes, I said. I've seen three of their concerts, he said. I have only seen two, I said. I knew I was beat, right then. While it didn't get me a discount, and nothing gained, I was delighted to hear a stranger describe Neil's having learned new techniques from Freddy and how he, himself, was inspired to try to learn new techniques, also a drummer. Found another RUSH fan in the north-western wilderness. Sweet!
  9. Wandering the Face of My Earth I'd Like To Go Back In Time
  10. blueschica, Thanks for the "Like"! Here we are, in the forums. What podcasts did you find, what are you reading, now?
  11. 30 Rock had some great episodes, very fun!
  12. Tina Fey is pretty cool, lots of experience in "show-biz". What do you like about the book?
  13. My focus group (me, myself and I) wish to present the following options for a title: Are You...Are You In The Mood? Swearing Thru The Headaches Of Almost 50 years. It's In There Somewhere - Like A Digital Copy That's Wrong. The Way Out Is The Way In. Beneath, Between and Behind: My Life Being Voluntold As The Front Man For RUSH. Hundreds Of Days Touring Every Year - Hundreds Of Things I Never Shared. Anybody else care to suggest titles?
  14. I have to agree with Entre_Perpetuo on this. I see the topic again and start thinking, yup front and centre - or perhaps a little higher to see more action. Then I remember being with my brother at the Friday night R40 in Toronto. Where we grew up. When we loved RUSH together - or apart (brothers, duh). I agree. "The best seat is the one next to the person you most want to see RUSH with". That should be in a music history book some day. Brilliant!
  15. I won't compare his memoir to anybody else. It will be so nice to read about his perspectives and stories of a long, wonderful journey.
  16. Time lines always change, no hurry for me. It's going to be great to read and I love that he wants to do this. Let the editing go as it may, it will be a great thing to have. (Ahem...Mr. Alex? And what have you considered writing about? Hmmm?)
  17. And after all his park visits and detours, yes, he should have his own stamp.
  18. I have watched this topic but had nothing to add, as I was unable to travel for any of the previously announced (proposed) dates. But now it has happened. And it's done. I wish I was there - absolutely. I wonder why it was under-attended - of course. Syrinx - "I thought the opening 2112 segment with the violins and electric cello was unreal" - that must have sounded amazing!? Rod in Toronto - "I saw two faces that were part of Rush's visual identity: the guy who posed for Hugh Syme when he did the "Starman" logo, and one of the movers who was on the Moving Pictures cover. Both were having the time of their lives with so much attention!" I am trying to think of this in a positive way If some moments and seeing people were helpful in celebrating our hero - isn't that what so many RUSH stories were about! The whole process was challenging, of course because of the pandemic and all things "protocol" or "re-scheduled". But as the dedication of a public space for a musical hero continued, it felt awkward. Why? I don't know. It just did. So many delays. I guess I need to say: No matter the end result of a dedication ceremony for what thousands, and thousands of fans wanted to see? There is now a place to visit. And I will be there some day and feel that it is so very cool that the guy in my ear, all my life, can be appreciated by going there. When I, or you, have time to get there. Always. And isn't that what we wanted, all along?
  19. I looked and did not see them, in these forums (by checking the option at the top bar for replying). As to their existence, period, it is likely they only exist in a friendly way from the folks who produce RUSH movies and album art. Of course there is the Google option of looking for images, but I personally don't see the need to get into copyrights and artist royalties. Maybe Mr. Kind Hearted Super Nice Guy Allan Weinrib, could offer connections for a additions to these forum emojis? Or an HTML type coder, or such, in our lovely forum crowd could make one and then we check to see if it's OK to use? Edit: Removing an extra "a" in front of additions.
  20. Who would like to see new emojis - such as a fire hydrant and/or a fire hydrant with a Dalmatian? Perhaps each anniversary of a record could introduce a new emoji to honour them?
  21. Clams. Funny to me. My spouse loves an old linguine-with-clam-sauce recipe, also some onions and mushrooms, a dash of white wine and a tonne of Romano cheese. I hate it. Mussels, oysters, most shell fish - all great with me. A can of rank clams (sorry) in anything is not going into m' belly! So, often when I am away from home I get the familiar tell: Made the linguine and clams.
  22. Sometimes I get lazy and use a jar of sauce from the store. It's a flavour we love. But it's when I have some fresh scallops and mushrooms to slice into it all, and top off with some grated parmesan. Yum!
