I guess Yes will use any excuse to wear tights on stage, eh? Maybe their next lead singer will be Dennis Deyoung. With backup vocals by Ian Anderson! And then when fans complain that it's not Jon, Yes will say "At least it's an Anderson!"

When they arrive, I will super glue the magazine pictures all over my car, and the cds to my naked body (Shiny side out). I'll force my wife to drive the car around town while I stand atop it, resplendent in all my naked shiny Rush cd glory! Like a knight riding a dragon will I be the harbinger of new Rush for the greater Houston area! You sir, have won the internets.

QUOTE LOS ANGELES -- Metta World Peace has no interest in making a bury-the-hatchet peace gesture with Oklahoma City's James Harden at the onset of the Los Angeles Lakers' Western Conference semifinals series against the Thunder. "I don't shake substitutes' hands," World Peace said after contributing 15 points, five rebounds and four steals in the Lakers' 96-87 Game 7 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday in his first appearance since serving a seven-game suspension for his elbow to Harden's head last month. Harden is not just any substitute of course, he's the Sixth Man of the Year who suffered a concussion in the second quarter of the Lakers' 114-106 double-overtime win over the Thunder on April 22 after World Peace's elbow following a dunk dropped him to the floor. World Peace issued a statement of apology following the incident and told reporters in his first public comments about the suspension nearly two weeks ago that he reached out to check on Harden's health through a third party. However, World Peace has yet to contact Harden directly and said that he has no plans to even acknowledge the Thunder's versatile wing player on the court before Game 1 on Monday. "My concern is executing the coaches' game plan and that's what my concern is," World Peace said when asked if he had any thoughts about facing Harden for the first time since the suspension. The mercurial Lakers forward went on to say that the entire Thunder team has a habit of ignoring the common NBA ritual of showing mutual respect before tipoff with a handshake or fist pound. "I shake everybody's hand before the game, but Oklahoma City, they don't shake hands," World Peace said. "Only some of them, but I don't think they really shake hands before the game. Kendrick Perkins and now (Russell) Westbrook don't shake hands either. (Russell) used to shake hands, but now he don't shake hands anymore." World Peace said that his failed handshake attempts with Perkins date back to the 2010 Finals when Perkins was a member of the Boston Celtics. "I used to go and shake hands," World Peace said. "I've been playing against Kendrick forever. Kendrick, he'll never shake your hand so I'd have to go and find Kendrick and shake his hand. In Boston, every game I'd have to go to him and say, 'Hey,' and then tap him on the butt. He don't touch my hand. But, I'm getting tired of making that walk." World Peace also tweaked Harden after the Lakers' shootaround on Saturday when asked an unrelated question about what response he's received from fans via social media during his suspension. "I don't want support for what I did," World Peace said. "I still love my fans, but I don't want to be supported for (that). Even though he came and ran up behind me and he's done that before to Tyson Chandler and other players and he flopped even in the series (against Dallas) in the first round, but I don't want support for that." Harden averaged 18.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game on 50.0 percent shooting from the field and 46.2 percent shooting from 3-point range in the Thunder's sweep of the Mavericks in the first round, which included 29 points in the close-out Game 4. World Peace was not worried about a potential hostile environment at Chesapeake Energy Arena in light of the history between him and Harden. "That's not my concern," World Peace said. "That's their concern. Freedom of America, freedom of speech, freedom to really do what you want to do. That's why it's a great country." Kobe Bryant, however, acknowledged that the opposing crowd will be a factor the Lakers need to account for. "It's going to be intense," Bryant said. "The crowd is obviously going to have a field day with that. I'm sure their players will generate some type of energy from it. For us, we just got to keep our poise and do what we do." While World Peace said he didn't plan to shake Harden's hand there is one reserve Bryant will surely seek out with some pregame love: Derek Fisher. "It's like brothers," Bryant said of Fisher who he was drafted into the league with in 1996 and won five championships alongside in the backcourt before Fisher was traded to the Houston Rockets along with a first-round draft pick for Jordan Hill in March. "You compete with your brother. Somebody has got to win, you rather it be you. Somebody has got to have bragging rights in the summer time. In terms of what he brings to the team, his experience, his leadership. I don't really know what their locker room dynamics are over there but with us, he was a true inspiration for the entire ballclub." What an ass
  9. Wow, those pics are awesome. Looks very menacing being that close.

They faded the solo out on the record so anything past that fade would be new! That solo always leaves me wanting more. Whenever it starts to fade I'm like noooooo.

    I will probably give them each one listen, and let that be it. That way I just get a small idea of what I'm going to hear, and don't etch it in my head.

It should be illegal to sell tickets for even more than a penny for what you paid for it. But that's just my opinion~ Really? Why? Tell me why someone should be thrown in jail, or at best, hit with a hefty fine, simply for reselling a ticket to an event - a ticket that the person bought quite legally and *owns*. While you're at it, maybe you should explain why I shouldn't sell the comic book I have upstairs that's currently worth about $50. I bought it for $1.25. Tell me why the baseball cards I own must be sold at the price I paid for them. Those are rare, collectable items that don't expire. An event isn't going to last years. It will come and pass. Once it does, the tickets will be useless. Now, imagine how much less scalping there would be if you couldn't sell the tickets for more than exactly what they cost, thus allowing more true fans to get better seats and giving everyone a fair shot. Everyone does have a fair shot. Scalpers aren't magical beings that somehow snap up every seat in the first 20 rows. They fight for the same seats we do and we end up with the vast majority of them. But your point about the event expiring is completely moot. More importantly, when I buy a ticket, I OWN that ticket. And I can do whatever the hell I want with it. I can go to the event, stay home, light it on fire, eat it or flush it down the toilet. Or I can sell it. For as much as someone is willing to pay. You want scalping to stop? Convince people to stop paying scalpers. As long as there is a market, there will be people to fill the orders. *le sigh* Nope. Scalpers use bots to buy up tickets quicker than any human could. Look it up. It happens. Here's an example: http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/to...006351352.story Magical beings, no. Bots, yes. I'll give you another example. I tried purchasing tickets to see Garbage in NY. Got right in at the onsale time, took less than a minute to get my request in. Event sold out. Not long after, I went to Stub Hub and there was a growing amount of tickets popping up, eventually getting into the hundreds. A $45 or so face value ticket was jacked up to $100-$500. Meanwhile, fans of theirs that have been waiting 7 years to see them are devastated on the band's Facebook page, going crazy that that they couldn't secure a single ticket to see their favorite band. So explain to me how this isn't unethical. And as I said before, this is MY opinion. You're welcome to yours, just as I'm welcome to mine~
