Rush Guitarist Arrested

"Living in the limelight, the universal dream....."

 

I'd love to have that on tape.

 

...on charges of overplaying?

 

I'd also give anything to be the person with the stun gun...

 

I guess "Hey! I'm the guitar player in Rush" doesn't count for much in Naples, Florida anymore...

 

County Deputy: "Calm down, sir, or you'll be asked to leave the premises."

Zivojinovich: "Whoa! Easy, man. I'm famous."

County Deputy: "Is that right?"

Zivojinovich: "Yeah, I'm the guitar player in Rush."

County Deputy: "Rush?"

Zivojinovich: "Yeah, that's right."

County Deputy: "I see ... Delroy, fetch me that stun gun!"

 

i say limelight is their best song

 

I'd probably have to agree.

Though that ain't sayin' much.

 

Poor guy arrested for spitting blood at an officer. Where did the blood come from? Oh, his broken nose.

How anyone can't appreciate Rush is beyond me.

Best song: 2112
Another great song: Resist
3rd: Trees
4th: Circumstances
5th: Closer to the Heart
6th: Limelight
7th: Spirit of Radio..


actually a few others are better, but maybe you've heard the last two.

 

No other choice in the matter IMHO..

This piece of music is absolutely brilliant..

"The sleep is still in my eyes, the dream is still in my head"..

 

We played the Overture at our wedding nearly 20 years ago.

Even my dad thought that was cool.

 

Perfect.

 

I'd say it's a toss-up between 2112 and Moving Pictures as their best album, although I personally prefer Moving Pictures.

Hold Your Fire is vastly underappreciated.

 

Moving Pictures is quite good, but you have to look at Hemispheres as well.


At U of New Orleans in the 80's, we were studying the Greek classics, and some long-haired guy brought the tape to class and we were listening to the album, and our 60-something professor was bobbing his head as if he was listening to Benny Goodman... good times...good times.

 

"La Villa Strangiato" was always one of my favorites.

 

I'm wondering if VH1 will finally do a "Behind the Music" now.

 

"Completely foul" Rush fans strike back:

"Freddy Cole, the 71-year-old younger brother of the late Nat King Cole, was playing the $650-a-couple, black-tie event when a man in a white suit jumped onto the stage and grabbed the microphone."

Something about Freddy Cole struck me as funny.
