While I liked both ZZ Top and The Police, I don't place them near as high on my list as Rush.

I saw them at the mid south coliseum back in 82.

There's a section during the intro of 2112, right before they get to the temples of syrinx ( at the 3:23 mark in the video below for reference) where they get the crowd into it. That happened by accident in that 82 show, as Alex broke a string during the solo and left the stage to get another guitar, leaving Geddy and Neil to play that part by themselves. And they did it without missing a beat, playing the rhythmic pattern then getting the crowd involved. They did it for a few bars until Alex made it back, but if you didnt notice Alex had broke a string, you would have never known it was improv'ed on the spot, because they literally never stopped playing. After Alex made it back, Geddy chases him down while they were still playing and kicks him in the ass while the 3 of them were all laughing at themselves.

It ended up working out so well that they pretty much kept some part of that in their live shows ever since.

As Shere Khan mentioned, this is a setup and media will be all over it as proof of discrimination against trannys. These people need therapy not validation.

Our hero didn't get a single bid and finds himself just another ugly girl kicked to the curb by the sorority establishment. If only his mom was a sister. He could have been a legacy.

I was at the 82 Coliseum show. And a few others. I had the pleasure of working at the Coliseum while I was in college. Got to watch Rush do their soundcheck before one of the shows.

While I do appreciate the fact that they all dumped him, I wonder where this pushback was when the Boy Scouts became the girl scouts.

Boy Scouts were told by big donors to let in gay scoutmasters and girls.

He just weighed too much. He can't be serious. Really.
