  1. The Call enjoyed some respectable airtime on the good ol' AOR station in my neck of the woods back in the day. 'Everywhere I Go' and 'I Still Believe' reside on my workout iPod.
  2. Damage Control (Petrucci, Portnoy, LaRue) Live from a couple nights ago (Nov. 4). A little Bond, James Bond, thrown in near the end:
  3. Ged's memoir is scheduled to be released in Spring of '23. It will be published by HarperCollins, which also offers his Big Beautiful Book of Bass.
  4. Are you interested in photographs, eh? Know what I mean? 'Photographs', he asked them knowingly: Photos: A Night for Neil | StCatharinesStandard.ca
  5. Ladies and gentlemen. This is truly a most auspicious occasion. We have been informed Sir Alex will at some point today log on to this forum to thank his birthday well-wishers. Unfortunately, we do not know with any specificity when this may occur. Sir Alex is currently engaged with prior commitments. (We've been informed he is now watching the gripping story of an errant butterfly hunter trapped in no man's land during the Battle of Passchendaele.) His equerry has requested you stand when he logs on, but otherwise do feel relaxed and carry on normally. Remember! Do not address Sir Alex unless he first addresses you. Thank you.
  6. When Hugh Syme began preparations for the new 40th anniversary artwork, Canada's Centre for Occupational Health & Safety said, "Naked guy can't be placed that close to the longitudinal fissure. He might fall into that crevasse." So, naked guy was positioned further down the cerebral hemisphere, nearer the junction of the central sulcus and the lateral fissure (but not too close!). Correspondingly, Hugh zoomed out from the brain a bit, and took a more lateral perspective. You mention it looks like a whole different brain. Well, you're on to something there. The brain employed for the original photo shoot met with an unfortunate tragedy at the brain repository. (It belonged to some fellow named Delbrück, I believe.)
  7. A bit of ORFie trivia: Gary's mother worked at the Willow Run bomber plant during WWII (while also raising his two older brothers). Clearly his penchant for building aircraft models was an inherited trait. Her needlepoint work was highly regarded (blue ribbons at fairs, etc.). In fact, a piece she created to celebrate the U.S. Bicentennial was exhibited at the Smithsonian for a year.
  8. Have either Geddy or Alex publicly mentioned any affiliation, endorsement or intentions associated with this memorial event? At any point in the past 2+ years?
  9. This seems doubly appropriate, as the Cubbies and Reds are playing in Dyersville, Iowa this evening, with a big, beautiful full moon rising. (Ha! Just as I was writing this, they played this during the game's TV coverage when going into a commercial.)
  10. Here's David fuming eloquently about the past prospect of an 18-story building being raised adjacent to the Brooklyn Bridge (it wasn't built): Hart Crane would have certainly agreed.
  11. Well heck. An American treasure and historical literature promontory. His last completed work, The Pioneers: The Heroic Story of the Settlers Who Brought the American Ideal West, is a fine note upon which to finish. I recall watching his discussion of this work on C-SPAN during a Sunday morning in the summer of 2019: https://www.c-span.org/video/?460340-1/david-mccullough-discusses-the-pioneers See also: David McCullough - The Pioneers | Marietta College On a side note: Another book on this historical subject which you might consider if so inclined is A Journey to Ohio in 1810: as recorded in the journal of Margaret Van Horn Dwight. It's a travel diary written by the teenage Margaret, presenting a straightforward account of her experience. It's a quick read, being under seventy pages. (Edited by historian Max Farrand, who was husband of Beatrix Jones Farrand, pioneering woman in the world of landscape architecture.)
  12. Somebody wrote the audio of this scene sounds like a TIE fighter.
  13. It seems the pitchers often prefer to defer in such instances, but a diffusion/confusion of responsibility arose there. Luckily for the Brew Crew, Ashby was able to hold on even while his hilltop position was subject to frontal assault. Meanwhile, the 3-way battle for last place in the NL Central continues apace.
  14. This photo was snapped at the Classic Rock Awards in London, November 2010.
