Lost In Xanadu

Recommended Posts

You know you have a problem when...

 

You try to work RUSH lyrics and references into your everyday conversations with strangers to see if they "are in".

 

Your ring tone is the intro to xanadu

 

you have to switch windows every time your wife walks into the room so she won't see you're on TRF "AGAIN!"

 

you give a free CD to all your son's friends when they come to the house, especially the ones who are musicians.

 

you never go to the Music of the Spheres thread on TRF because lately, you just haven't been listening to anything BUT RUSH.

LOL!

 

All of my ringtones are Rush, except 2... my wife's is Brown Eyed Girl, and when someone at home calls my cell, it plays the theme from Cheers "Where everybody knows your name" smile.gif

 

Ringtones for other friends:

Far Cry into

Camera Eye Riff

Spirit or the Radio Intro

Xanadu Intro

2112 Intro (the part with the "Heys")

Natural Science Riff

 

Sure I'm forgetting a few...

Your friend asks for a few Rush songs and you give them a 2 disc collection of your favorite songs

 

You are listening to Rush in the car and you yell to a friend outside "RUSH RULES"

 

Your friend texts you and asks what you are doing and you say "the usual" and they say "listening to Rush and playing a game"

 

 

All three are what I have done.

I'm a teacher, and I'll slip in a Rush reference every so often with my fifth-graders. No one's caught it yet, but I'm sure one day someone will! Instant extra credit!

 

I use TMMB as my ringtone. I made one of the guitar intro. It's subtle, but it still rocks.

I have to correct myself. /I/ enjoy casual Rush t-shirt Friday - my students just learn to expect it!

My college students expect plenty of Rush and Iron Maiden references - they always ask about my concert adventures. Most of them have no clue, but they love the fact that I am not "stuffy."

Don't hang out with fellow Rush fans unless you trust them not to steal your ATM card, cause you KNOW they'll be able to use them.  unsure.gif

Love this bit, it's exactly what i do too biggrin.gif, always dropping rush lyrics and references into everyday conversations on any topics applicable with people to see if they pick up on any of it, unfortunately most of the time they don't.
