congratulations on your correct usage of the word inferring. that almost never happens on the internet!

yeah you gotta give props to someone so committed to white supremacy Ooooh, aren't you special. Narps a white supremacist? Really? Lay off the caffeine, have a wank. trump is all about white supremacy. narps left the board to, in his own words in the "what made you sad today" thread: i don't think saying that he is committed to white supremacy is any stretch.

the most endangered species, the honest man!

can someone tell me why this question is so important?

Best article about Neil's retirement yet!

my first thought was "my wife will cry."

que, Sera, sera?

or maybe he didn't communicate his needs clearly. he did fess up to being totally passive aggressive and expecting people to be able to figure it out in roadshow!

i still hope that geddy and alex will work together again even without neil. i'd be interested to hear if it would be better than either of their solo albums were.

i want to see this band but substitute "anyone who can keep up" for neil!

So taking this post at face value, the question remains, why NOW? Especially if Neil has hated touring for so long. Does he finally feel he has enough money to never work again? (Something he said they couldn't do back in 1998 without liquidating EVERYTHING). Health factors? Home factors? I guess what I'm puzzle dover is the idea that someone with a personality as strong as Neil's doesn't seem like the kind to just get pressured into anything. It actually makes the "abruptness" of this tour end easy to understand, but makes it harder to grasp what he agreed to all the touring after 2008 (or so). Or why agree to the R40 tour in the first place, only to cut it off with other dates still on the table? Would love to have been a fly on the wall...... pretty sure that everything neil has done since he came back has been for the money. he has been working towards his comfortable retirement, and i would guess that he did r40 based on calculations regarding his financial future. nothing wrong with that, but i agree that he seems to have been pretty shitty and inconsiderate in how he went about it, not to us the fans but to his partners who made his privileged life possible. listening to geddy and alex, it does sound like he was a bit manipulative or at the very least not forthcoming about his timetable and intentions. while the fans taking on about having been screwed over is a bit much i do not blame geddy and alex for feeling that way, not one little bit.

this has become the most ridiculous neil thread of all!

funny, my wife and i had exactly that conversation yesterday! we'd love to see that too. we called it 'the rush fighters'!

i'm adopted and i have never been anything but thankful that my birth mother gave me to my mom and dad. they were great parents who couldn't have any kids of their own and i never felt like anything was missing from my life just because my awesome mom who raised me wasn't the person who popped me out. with that said now that both my parents are dead i sometimes think about trying to find my birth mother. i'm not sure though because i don't know how she would feel about it and i wouldn't want to hurt her. also it seems kind of maybe disrespectful to my mom? i don't know, it's confusing

he lasted a good ten years longer than he could have expected, i thought maybe he'd do a keith richards and just keep going and going r.i.p.

they're sooooooooo boring wimpy british soft rock, mostly famous for the singer being married to gwyneth paltrow i'm embarrassed i know that

because I remember watching years ago an interview with the lead guitarist of another famous band who went on a rant about wives who say to their rocker husbands Honey, when are you coming home? He sharply added, after he mockingly mimicked a woman's voice: You don't ever ask a musician when he's out gigging when he's coming home!!! Oh well, dear. Excuse me. :eyeroll: i bet that dude didn't stay married for 40 years!

It is kind of silly; I know Michael Moore is like the political polar opposite of Ted Nugent; I have just always wondered if he likes any of Ted's music or not. :) (the whole question of can you separate the artist from their art, etc. etc., it comes up around here from time to time.) that is an interesting question! i'd like to know too i'd like to know this, too!

Yeah, Trump sucks and I would never vote for him. But how is that different than Bernie and Hillary? A good point many fail to grasp. people fail to realize both wings are still attached to the same shitbird :) i think most people do realize that and that's why the entire conversation about the election is mostly just stupidity and mudslinging between the various factions, bunch of monkeys throwing shit at each other we are

i don't like it. sure the lyrics make a valid point but it's not as amazing and profound as it's given credit for, and musically it's a boring downer.

what do you want to ask michael moore about himself?

he's campaigning for donald trump. i guess there weren't enough pissed off sexually frustrated old white men here for him.

so i was listening to this and i noticed that michael moore made a reference to discussing rush online with other fans. is he a member here?

geddy says that's his favorite song to play live besides they had to end r40 with it in keeping with the going-back-to-the-beginning theme. it IS the song that made them. and putting the bit of garden road at the end was genius.
