Tigershark2112 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 This is the most ridiculous argument ever. It's freaking 21:12, not 9:11. And Rush are Canadian, not that they didn't care that it happened, but they aren't even American. Sorry for your loss man, but seriously STOP trying to force this issue. It's getting a little childish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionDetector Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 QUOTE (GangsterOnBoats @ May 11 2012, 11:39 AM) Here's a question though, why did they not make it 9:12 on the Caravan single? The time on the Caravan cover is 3:00. I think they simply went with yet another typical "3" reference, which has become very common in Rush releases over the years.

Digital Man Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 QUOTE (friendlyfloridian @ May 11 2012, 11:37 AM) QUOTE (Rush-O-Matic @ May 11 2012, 11:32 AM) you are over-reaching to suggest the clock represents not only the time 9:11, but that Rush intentionally chose that time for some connection to the date. I NEVER said that RUSH intended on referencing 911. Dude... No, but you are digging at something that isn't there. It being a RUSH album and 2112 being one of their biggest albums ever one would think that as a big RUSH fan (which we assume you are as you are posting on a fan board) you would see the 2112 connection before a 9-11 connection. I get it, you lost someone close to you in a horrible tragedy. It hits close to home with you and obviously you feel the loss deeply. I lost my brother to suicide in 2003. I can't listen to The Pass without thinking of him. I don't really like the song as it paints the person who commits suicide as weak and they aren't worth remembering as a good person. That is not true of my brother. I didn't like when RUSH played it live, but I didn't get upset and think they were being disrespectful. It's my personal tragedy and RUSH has no idea about me. They played a song a lot of fans like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference in that I DID have someone die on that day that I know, I don't think u did. No, I did not. And, as I wrote several times, you will notably have a different connection, and therefore a different emotional reaction. But, dmc suggested you're making a connection that is not there and you wrote: QUOTE (friendlyfloridian @ May 11 2012, 09:41 AM)QUOTE (danielmclark @ May 11 2012, 10:36 AM) You're making connections that don't need to be made. Respectfully, it is easy for you to say this. It didn't happen to you. So, I was implying that 9-11 didn't happen just to you. The members of Rush certainly have no idea that you have a personal loss associated with 9-11.

You wrote: QUOTE (friendlyfloridian @ May 11 2012, 08:18 AM) I never said that I am 100% positive that it is referring to 911. It is just that it is extremely close to that date / time. A little in bad taste IMHO. That's all. If you weren't implying that it was in bad taste because Rush intending on referencing 9-11, then why would it be in bad taste? Because it's a lousy cover? Agreed, and there's another thread for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're assuming an awful lot throughout this entire thread. Just because I can look at an album cover without making wild connections about times and dates doesn't mean I didn't lose anyone on 9/11.

I'm a terrific multi-tasker. Checking in here doesn't take more than a few minutes in between rendering videos, uploading to YouTube and preparing for a conference that I'm speaking at next week. Surely you don't think that my day is nothing but staring off into space waiting for the next gem to fall out of your mouth? You probably do think that... which is one more reason you can't be taken seriously. Side note: it takes two to tango.
