I can't believe you beat Miller in a Rush trivia contest--did the loser have to buy a large cheese from Pizza World?<BR/><BR/>Falze<BR/><BR/>Yeah, that's pretty lame. Almost as lame as "that guy" who says he's a big Rush fan because he loves Tom Sawyer. Then you ask:<BR/><BR/>"What other Rush songs do you like?"<BR/><BR/>"Other songs? Hmm... well, I like them all. Each is... ah... appealing in its own way."

Yeah!"<BR/><BR/>Punch.Falzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481333222029372752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723077228948447528.post-49282138828488396172008-07-14T22:53:00.000-04:002008-07-14T22:53:00.000-04:00Hey Murph, I couldn't agree more.

Their recent albums are good and usually have two or three great songs but they will never compare to the glory days (Fly by Night to Moving Pictures). But I still do get in Rush "moods" now and again and will break out the old stuff.

Definitely better than <I>Magic Kingdom For Sale: Sold,</I> although I've derived more enjoyment from some dinner menus than <I>Kingdom</I>.Brian Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563309422791320114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723077228948447528.post-32196984568620774562008-07-14T12:12:00.000-04:002008-07-14T12:12:00.000-04:00Sounds awesome, Brian.

I haven't seen RUSH in concert in many years, but I see I should have checked them out this last time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723077228948447528.post-28908023385152793562008-07-14T10:55:00.000-04:002008-07-14T10:55:00.000-04:00Glad you enjoyed it, even though they've got a LOT...Glad you enjoyed it, even though they've got a LOT of S&A material on the list.<BR/><BR/>I must admit, a jerk yelling out the next song every time is a new one. I often (several times per day, lately) find myself asking "What's wrong with people??"<BR/><BR/>Cool birthday gift :D And don't fear S&A - it's a better listen than Magic Kingdom For Sale!Falzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481333222029372752noreply@blogger.com
