Alex Lifeson arrested in Florida
- Thread starter Mudd Stuffin

Yeah, you would never see Geddy or Neal do something like that. Will these guys ever get back together and tour again?
Rush toured in 2002/03 after the release of Vapour Trails. They also played the SARS concert.Salisbury_Steak said:
They'll be touring in 2004 to promote their new live CD/DVD coinciding with their 30th anniversary. That is, assuming Alex isn't doing 2 to 4 in a Florida state prison.
well no its not like trailer park boys, because he got kidnapped and didnt do anything whereas in this incident he did 
It's innocent until proven guilty.
Rush have kept their nose clean for so long. I would give Lifeson the benefit of the doubt.
Correct me if I'm wrong, the impression I have of the Florida LE is that they can be over zealous. I recalled that Todd Stottlemyer and Dave Stewart of the Blue Jays were arrested at a Tampa night club. I believe the charges were later dismissed.

It must be a slow newsday, saw this story reported on CNN, there was Alex in his orange jump suit, maybe he can wear on when they go on tour again.Galahad said:
Yeah, I remember that incident, they looked at the cops the wrong way or something like that!Galahad said:
Innocent until proven guilty? Yeah right ok, maybe that's the way its supposed to work but in the US, they arrest you first then make you prove you are innocent, not the other way around.
Just this morning on CBS news there was a report on 3 youths who were charged with battery on a chinese woman. Apparantly the chinese woman had her purse snatched and 1 of the youths went after him while the other two tried to help the lady. 1 (I repeat ONE) witness said the 3 boys caused the problem and the police couldn't confirm this with the woman because she didn't speak english.
Well after a month (or so) and a bail hearing etc they finally got around to interveiwing the chinese woman with an interpretor and discovered the boys were telling the truth. Recourse? NONE.
I know LE has it rough but they really ought to take the old "innocent until proven guilty" a little more seriously.

Me, too. I played on a softball team he was part of a decade or so ago, and he's as soft-spoken and down-to-earth as they come. I wasn't in Florida obviously, but this seems very out-of-character...Galahad said:
Who knows how people act when they're under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Not to say that he was under the influence, but we just don't know.Speedo said:
Having said that, I'm a big Rush fan (about ten concerts, every album, Signals record autographed by Neil Peart in person, bid $2000 for a Moving Pictures gold record). I hope and expect that Alex will be exonerated!
...what a rush?Mudd Stuffin said:
He was framed...they probably separated his shoulder or something. Besides, US authorities have more important criminals to pursue...take that white woman named Jackson who's impersonating a male black singer...
