This this this. "It is what it is, and whatever" are not at all the simple lyrics that they appear to be on the surface, at least to me. I'm an English professor, so I've spent over half my life looking for shades of meaning in things. We're taught that "it is" (as expletives) are filler words - in this case, an "empty subject and empty verb." But conceptually . . . the deep possibilities of what "it" is and what "is" entails in terms of being and existence. Dizzying. Then of course, there's the "what" . . . And so far, no one has threatened to beat me up. I speaks english and yuo is write.

Want to sell even more? mention Big Al... :) Alex will make the list for best backup vocalist.

Let's just say, she ain't no angel!

Are you suggesting "Friends with benefits"?

My thoughts are with your father and your family. Your father sounds like he is in good shape for his age. These types of surgery are very common these days and it very rare that something goes wrong. Sorry, I just saw that your father already had the surgery and I am very happy that everything went well.

I remember those days.

I can confirm that Neil smoked cigarettes. I met him once and he put his cigarette out on my arm rather than giving me an autograph.

Hey Rod, you should start doing video interviews and start your own youtube show/channel. Also, doing product reviews is also very good because all kinds of companies will send you free expensive items to review.

It’s been over twenty years since I’ve been stoned at a party. I smoked some oil from a device, Gorilla Glue was the oil. Six years for me....just didn't like how I felt 'out of control' of myself.... That just reminded me of being at a party many, many moons ago where some poor gal was on acid and shrieking "I'm eating my teeth! I can't stop eating my teeth!" Good times! :P The first time I ever took acid, it was green microdot, and I remember the classic 'Walls expanding and contracting like the room was breathing', and saw a gigantic Wasp flying through my bedroom... I fell in love with acid the first time I took it when I was 16. I must have done it a couple of hundred times over the next few years.

There must be something about listening to Rush music that makes women more attractive. All the women on TRF are total babes!

A lot of classic rock songs were written under the influence of pot and other mind altering substances. From my experience pot and drugs like lsd and mushrooms can enhance ones artistic mind. You can even hear things while listening to music that you never heard before while under the infuence. Cocaine on the other hand impairs one's artistic imagination.

Wow, that's a great score! Hold her to it when the book comes out! I will start bothering her TODAY!!! Next to Earl, Felicia and I sat one of the board members of the Grapes for Humanity and his daughter. Both were SO COOL! They were not Rush fans per se, but understood our obsession, and we got along great. Garrett, the dad, bought us THREE bottles of wine for the trip back, which was a nice gesture. I offered to volunteer for Grapes for Humanity, and will be in touch with him. Sounds like you will be living the rockstar life soon!

Good to see Earl scoring a free hat. I was thinking more along the lines that he would be leaving the place in a jacket he was given with straps on the sleeves.

I am really happy for you guys as it seems like it was a most perfect day!

How did you get that?I thought the thing was on Sunday?

Thanks Verena, it means a lot to me that you said my posts are neat! :cheers:

Thanks for starting this thread, blueschica! However, I will gladly let someone else carry the title of TRF Poutine Ambassador. The bacon cake looks awesome!

Thanks so much, everyone! :cheers:

HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Eddie Trunk is a piece of human shit. Such a fraud. Good for you brainwashed millennials to follow his every word and list. HAHAHAHA!!!! I met Eddie in Vegas after the Scorpions and Queensryche. I purposely quizzed him for 5 minutes on rock and roll and metal. The guy is a fuckking fraud. Don't believe me. Don't care. Useless. I met all the guys from Queensryche, Mikkey Dee from the Scorps who was so sweet and nice. Even met Scott Ian that night. Not a big Anthrax fan but he was sooooooo cool!!!! Eddie Trunk is a skunk. His rock and roll knowledge is that of a rotten walnut. Real musicians know their shite. Eddie Dump sucks arse. I can't believe the guy actually talked to you and answered your questions for five minutes. What an asshole! Seems very unfair to me. It's reasons like this why I get that Peart hates greeting and meeting fans. I've seen a few episodes of That Metal Show and Eddie Trunk always seemed to come across as a pretty good guy. He also seemed to know quite a bit about Metal.

I just could not believe the stuff I was reading in this thread (A lot of petty shit in here!).

Maybe he doesn't like Rush, and people who don't like Rush usually hate Rush.

I can't tell you how many times I doodled that in class when I was in highschool. Why not? Is it a secret? No, it's not a secret, it has more to do with the fact that I was doodling a majority of the time in highschool and my math is not so good.

You could always just go dressed as the Starman. That way you would not have to worry about wine stains.
