RIP Denny.

(For me) Rush died as a band when The Professor passed. By all means I would love to see Alex & Geddy collaborate again .... tour, create new music, play old Rush songs ..... but ..... just not as Rush. Let the Rush legacy stand as is.

Many Happy Returns Derek!

RIP Myles.

Difficult to quantify this one .... my immediate reaction is that it should be something from Presto as IMO it is the worst album Rush ever released ..... but when it comes down to Rush's long list of songs. across the decades .... it's all a matter of taste.

Still got mine at 65! Mind you it's thinning out rapidly on top!! Cue music.... I Think I'm Going Bald

Just back from a week of winter sun in Gran Canaria. I took the book in audible format with us, and the Missus and I listened to it in the evenings, getting through the entire thing. A few comments:- - Having Geddy do the narration (and in places Alex) really brought it to life for me. - The early sections detailing his family's ordeal during the war years was harrowing, but key to the whole book. - The drug taking was unsurprising for the times, but strangely I just didn't expect it from Rush. - The final section detailing detailing Neil's diagnosis and eventual passing, got me real emotional. - Overall a tremendous listen (i've never done an audio book before). But I will also read the hard copy. - I was somewhat underwhelmed with the 'lost demos'. Can't wait for the Wolverhampton gig now!

I've always had a soft spot for Renaissance so they get all my votes.

sounds like a bad case of 'water on the brain'

RIP Rosalynn.

In the UK, the beer of choice for the out and out winos (so i'm told!) was always Carlsberg Special Brew. Rocking in at an impressive 9% it was pure rocket-fuel. Taste wise, it had a sickly sweet, almost 'syrupy' feel to it. Totally foul. I am led to believe that these days, due to the 'nanny state' banging on about responsible drinking etc. it has been watered down to 7.5%. probably still foul!

A fine actor. RIP Joss.

All beer is good

RIP Charlie.

I'll probably go for a t-shirt.
