Ghostnotes Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 No not really. Now if i would to meet him at a gas station while we were filling up...maybe . Did i take the trouble to find out where he lives..sure why not but the difference is that if he were visible within the confines of his house,yard , domain then no i would not stop or go gaga. Do i know where he lives now, yes will i publicize it....no. That is not invading anyones privacy,leagally and more importantly on a personal level. Had he had been out, he would had never known i was there. That in itself is actually too much speculation anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still kind of weird that you would go to that trouble to find out his address, just to see his house. And you're the only one in this thread that thinks otherwise.

Mr. Krinkle Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 This is why Neil is the way he is. Look. The man likes and wants his privacy. Can you at least give him that? He has given us over thirty years of lyrics, music and concerts amongst other things. He is just a person. A talented one, but a person. Give him some respect and leave his address to the ones that need to know it. Neil lives in California. Geddy and Alex live near Toronto. If you meet any of them in public don't be a dork. Make RUSH the last thing you talk about, if at all. They know you know who they are. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, despite hunting down Neil's private home address and doing a drive-by, Ghostnotes still thinks he respected Neil's privacy because he didn't ring his doorbell or leave a note in his mailbox. He doesn't quite get the whole privacy concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are kinda funny, especially when the thread-starters are as clueless as is the case here. So no, it's not wrong. It's why I read them and made the Jeffrey-Dahmeresque post above about eating Neil's heart. (Shit, I hope no one thinks I meant that!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pags Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 You drove past the house? COOL! So like, does the house have windows and stuff? Does it have a roof? I'll flip if Neil has a front door. Don't even tell me if a famous drummer has a front door. I won't be able to stand it. Wait, maybe you couldn't see the house. Perhaps it was blocked from view by trees or something. OMG that could be a tree that Neil touched or the family dog peed under. You're so lucky! Did you touch the mailbox? Surely his hands have touched that mailbox a thousand times. I would never wash my hands again if I got to touch the mailbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live almost 1500 miles from him. Weird. Oh well, at least you didn't paint a big Red Star on his front lawn and do a nude Starman impression.

FOH Lights Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 OK, it seems like OP is taking way too much heat here, IMHO. I recall someone else on the forum talking about how he sneaks "backstage" prior to the end of the show, just so he can see Neil running to his bus and possibly say Hi. That guy didn't take as much crap as everyone is giving OP yet, IMO, that is waaay more intrusive and creepy. Knowing how his security is, I doubt that the guy ever got near Neil, but the point is, he took less guff when he admitted to basically "stalking" Neil, than OP has for simply riding by his house. Frankly, it didn't sound to me like Ghostnotes had any ulterior motives - he just wanted to see where Neil lived and when he did, he said "Hmm, nice shack" and kept moving. Is that really such a big deal?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's getting heat because going to that much trouble just to see a celebrity's house is just....weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSnwdog Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I once checked out Neil's house, and as luck would have it, he was walking out to collect the morning paper as I was checking out the crib. He was a very cool dude, and when he found out I was a big Rush fan, he invited me in for tea and scrumpets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
