No, but I like the bicycle water bottle cage. Also, is that a music box directly to the right? Or a shaker?

Dick Meatwood · **Posted:** Wed Jun 30, 2010 11:22 am

That right there is what you call self-parody.

I recently found out that Peart pronounces his last name with a hard e, as in "here". Neil Peeeeert. That's pretty silly too.

Radcliffe · **Posted:** Wed Jun 30, 2010 3:10 pm

Also, he's in Rush.

I've always called this guy "the drummer from rush." My friend's brother subjected me to one of his drum solos from a concert when I was in high school. Who enjoys 20 minutes of drumming? I think that formative event created my hate for prog and Rush.

i can enjoy a 20 minute drum solo

thats freakin bad

When I was about 14 I got a Rush LP out the library just because I'd heard of them but not actually heard them.

I put the record on and listened to it aghast. Even at 15, when my ideas of good taste were a little askew, it was patiently obvious that this band Rush was a pile of shit. The kind of giant sized pile of shit a Brachiosaurus might befoul a Jurassic landscape with. It was and remains to this day the most revolting and nauseating musical experience of my life.

So much so that action was called for, one simply could not sit idly by and allow this to exist. My grandfather signed up to the air force and stood up to Facism, my father signed up to the counter-culture and stood up to The Man, now it was my turn to stand up to the plate and do my manly duty against Evil.

Taking my protactor from my pencil case, given my attendence record at school this may have been the only time it was used, I carved "RUSH FUCKING SUCKS" into the vinyl, handed it back into the library and a placid youth with bright eyes and a heartful of hope was transformed into an angry punk rocker.

Fuck you Rush, fuck you a thousand times for every piece of kit on that fucking drum kit.
