The greatest moment of any public event that I’ve ever experienced. https://youtube.com/shorts/6J1Op1czEX8?is=9eADhIs32er7WDwo

Thanks man. I won’t be back until Neil’s memorial is built. But I do have an agenda, things to do and places to see that I wasn’t able to get to on my brief whirlwind tour of your wonderful city. When I do come back, I’d love to experience the craft beer scene, among other things… Like...

One of my biggest goals was to drink a Henderson‘s Rush Xanabrew. I was able to grab one at the airport. We never made it to the brewery but I was able to taste it and keep the bottle as a souvenir. Huge score. I’d have loved to check out Godspeed brewery and Granite Brewpub. I had five days...

Grabbed some Lot No 40 rye. Pretty tasty

I was not well versed enough to get it. That compelled me to take a dive into Bartok and Shostakovich. Fascinating. (To me. For most this is TLDR.) Rivalries like 2Pac vs. The Notorious B.I.G. and Nas vs. Jay Z were not the first to produce beefs and diss tracks. Dmitri Shostakovich vs...

The great thing about Clockwork Angels was it a concept album but the songs stood up well on their own. The tour included an impeccable live string ensemble. But then Neil and Kevin J. Anderson novelized it and really fleshed out the story. To hear Neil read on the Audible version is...

Crazy how they got every female in the crowd all in one shot!

38 years. 167 songs. They still had it. Few bands could compare. Still do after 50 something years.

Yeah. Easy to argue that Hemispheres was their peak. I like all of their stuff right up to Clockwork Angels. Few bands have put out albums for 38 years and finished up with an album as strong as Clockwork Angels.

The Monaco Grand Prix is my favorite.

Wow. To have seen them at your high school. That’s awesome!

“Listen, to me you’re a genius, to O’Malley you’re a genius, but to a genius, you’re no genius. “

Rush fan. It’s a mandatory Pilgrimage. On the company dime. I grew up imagining drinking by the light house and smoking on the pier at Lakeside Park. (Both now illegal but I’m a stealthy scofflaw.) Seeing the future NEP memorial site, Ontario Parliament Building, Massey Hall, Barbarians Steak...
