EagleMoon Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Love this. It almost seems wrong to say I'm proud of them, but they are just all-around awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Digital Man Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I wonder if they ever get sick of thanking everyone at every event for the last two decades 'on Neils behalf?' 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) I wonder if they ever get sick of thanking everyone at every event for the last two decades 'on Neils behalf?' I thought it was very classy of Geddy to mention they were also speaking on his behalf when they inducted Yes at the RRHOF ceremony; and at this occasion as well.

Thunder Bay Rush Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I wonder if they ever get sick of thanking everyone at every event for the last two decades 'on Neils behalf?' Neil has retired. And, I am happy for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeson90 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Watched a music video yesterday and came to mind reading this thread about neil John lennon - Watching The Wheels People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doingWell they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruinWhen I say that I'm o.k. they look at me kind of strangeSurely you're not happy now you no longer play the game People say I'm lazy dreaming my life awayWell they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten meWhen I tell that I'm doing Fine watching shadows on the wallDon't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball? I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and roundI really love to watch them rollNo longer riding on the merry-go-roundI just had to let it go People asking questions lost in confusionWell I tell them there's no problemOnly solutionsWell they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mindI tell them there's no hurry...I'm just sitting here doing time I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and roundI really love to watch them rollNo longer riding on the merry-go-roundI just had to let it go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFanForever Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 From the Samaritan Magazine interview. [To Alex] Will you be doing another painting for Brush of Hope for the Canadian Kidney Foundation? I plan to. The auction is in November. So I have time. I’m thinking of starting a little earlier this year and maybe doing a couple. I’ve been doing it for a while now. I want to say 10 years or close to 10 years. My father had renal failure, so there was a connection with the Kidney Foundation right from the start. It’s been a fun program and it’s been quite successful for them as well. So it’s been 10 years; you’ve done 10 paintings? Are you noticing you’re improving, year after year? Lee: I was going to say, I bought his best yet [laughs]. Lifeson: He did [laughs]. They’re different. I’m glad that it’s changing. I’m not trained in any way but it’s just in the moment, a creative outlet. The subject always changes, every year [laughs]. It depends what I’ve been thinking of that day. [To Lee]. You said you have “the best.” What is it of? Lee: He did this painting of the two of us getting drunk in Paris one night. I’d really like to see what that looks like. Lee: I really had to fight a couple of bidders off to get it, but I persevered. Here's the painting below that references Geddy and Alex. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
