(I don't know about the rest of you, but my > copy of Presto that I bought in late fall 1989 is slightly weird - when I > program the tracks in a different order, the last half-second of the previous > song will play before the next song.) Although my Presto CD doesn't have this problem now, I did notice that some of the tracks begin _exactly_ at the 0:00 tick of the track clock -- a problem that used to cause behavior similar to that which you're seeing. In my case, the CD player itself wouldn't stop playing a track until the next track ticked to the 0:00 mark, so if the next track started immediately, it would play for half a second before moving to the next programed track. For the technically curious, I've got a Sony MDP-510, and the problem was fixed (after SEVERAL fruitless trips -- don't EVER buy a Sony video disc player unless you never plan to have any service) by replacing one of the controller chips (firmware?) -- although the 'techs' kept referring to it as a 'microprocessor.' The point is, it may not be the disc... --Dan ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 28 Jun 91 19:41:07 EDT From: jaeger@buphy.bu.edu (Gregg Jaeger) Subject: stone bones and brown-stones After a few more listens to that great new VH album, I noticed another hint of Rush, though only perhaps a minor lyrical one. The lyrics to ``Right Now'' seem quite similar to (to be a bastardization of?) those of ``Marathon,'' though the `message' of the two songs is different. I'm not too thrilled about ``Right Now'' relative to the other songs (``Judgement Day'' is my fave!) on _F.U.C. Knowledge_, though it is strangely reminiscent (to me anyway) of Saga (bass/guitar groove) and Kansas (keys!). Also Sammy Hagar seems to like to make a few classic rock allusions on other tunes: the James Brown `ow!' and the Rolling Stones ``I like it,'' the first at the very beginning of ``Round and Round'' and the second at the very end. What d'y'all think?

The disc is a French release on X Rekords, recorded live in stereo at the Montreal Forum, May 1981. It is 52:30 minutes long, it is in brand new condition, and the song list is as follows: Limelight Tom Sawyer The Trees Xanadu Red Barchetta Freewill Closer To The Heart By-Tor And The Snow Dog In The End/In The Mood There are some voice-overs, notably in the first few measures of "Tom Sawyer." I'm not sure whom the voice belongs to. I am selling it because I rarely listen to Rush anymore. So far, I have had an offer of $45. If you are interested, please reply to me with your offer.

Just keep all that crap to mail.

I read the book a year ago, and there are numerous ideas & concepts in it that I believe Peart has used in his lyrics over the years.I've lent my copy of TF to a friend, so I can't quote exactly, but there is a section where one of the characters states that the symbol for Mankind should be the 3 balls of a pawnbroker - the idea being that Mankind has pawned its integrity to the highest bidder, and is satifying its short-term, primitive needs, rather than investing for the future & doing what is right & proper. There are other quotes in the book, which refer to Mankind's spirit of adventure and curiosity. Ayn Rand calls the force which motivates these impulses a 'Prime Mover'. Another Ayn Rand book, 'Atlas Shrugged' also has a few possible Rush influences. In this book, the whole world economy slowly collapses as Collectivism gets a deeper & deeper grip on governments. The leading character, Dagny Taggart, is the female controller of a railroad company. Throughout the collapse, she is one of the only people who doesn't despair, and continues to soldier-on regardless of the many difficulties she faces. Compare that description to the cover of Permanent Waves. Again in Atlas Shrugged, there's a section where one of the characters describes man's eternal desire for progress and adventure. The analogy given was that of a man searching for years through endless foreign lands, to try & find the secret of eternal life. He eventually finds it in the lost world of Atlantis, but instead of being happy, he is in total despair, since he has completed his life's mission, and no longer has a goal in life. Ayn Rand is making a point that we should never be satisfied with what we have, and should always strive for progress. Compare that to 'Xanadu' and 'The Fountain of Lamneth'. And of course, there's always the book 'Anthem' which inspired the song of the same name and 2112. There are numerous other references, some of which are tenuous, some blatant, in Ayn Rand's books. When I get The Fountainhead back from my friends I'll mail the quotes directly.

Simon" <ps3q+@andrew.cmu.edu> Subject: The Fountainhead <<I'm really interested in knowing if there is anything in _The Fountainhead_ which mentions balls specifically. I understand that Objectivism is fundamentally individualistic and that the balls are _individual balls_ but is that really grounds for saying that the balls were inspired by _The Fountainhead_ or Ayn Rand in any direct way?<< This posting is in answer to Gregg Jaeger's dismissal of the correlation between the three balls on the HYF cover and Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. Anyone who has both read the book listens to Rush can not ignore the direct allusion to the three distinct spherical objects as a metaphor for individuality, independence, and egoism. I seem to recall it being mentioned on about page 300. Gregg claims that the three balls signify the three members of Rush, and that is an ostensibly plausible theory. However, after reading The Fountainhead, that theory was quickly dismissed in my mind. Phil "A rush is a good vibe."

They ARE a three-piece and musically DO have a lot in common with Rush. In the drum solo from the same album, "Herb" (the Ginseng drummer...), grabs a lot from Neil's solo. And, now that I think about it, their song, "Frizzle Fry," is VERY similar to By-Tor and the Snow Dog. If you're rich and can afford to buy disks from bands you've never heard, go try Primus.

Anybody here (probably everybody) that likes Ged's style, you gotta hear this guy from Primus. Excellent. I have heard the Primus song in question. The parts being played are clearly from _YYZ_.

Croix) Date: Mon, 01 Jul 91 12:08:45 PDT How you guys doin' out ther anyway?(hands above eyes) This is my first ever post to this Rush netherworld. I LIKE IT!! Anyways, thinking back to when there was a big ole' list of Rush facts and answeres to frequently asked questions, is that really Geds son, Julian, riding the missle? Where's the nose eh? I'm glad that I found this out. Who knows, I might someday find myself walking the streets of Toronto and By pure coincidence, run into the Geddy-guy. Not knowing that his son played a part in one of the videos, I might have asked, "oh, by the way, who's that geek twerp loser little brat in the DEW video?" Geddy, Clearly upset: "That's my SON you ASS!" Followed by a swift right hook to my nose. Hey at least it would be my favourite(Canadian spelling, A la B man) bass player who punched me out, and it's starting tp flow, I think I might be sinkin'. What the hell is all this talk about the saying of the word"subdivisions" in the song of the same name. On ASOH it is CLEARLY Alex saying it! Are you guys partially deaf? It's not a digitized voice either. Geez! Get a wife. However, on the Presto Tor, they used THE digitized voice sample. How do I know this for sure? I bootlegged the Oakland, Ca show (the first performace) and the voice is loud and clear. almost too loud. Concerning the new album, I heard that they might do an instrumental. Of course, I heard it in TNMS a few weeks ago. Then someone said, and I quote"I hope they don't tack on lyrics like they did with Hand over Fist." Whadaya mean? That song is great! Great lyrics too. It became one of the themes for the whole album, as well as the Tourbook. Obligatory Shaggy Quote: ZOIKS Scoob! Let's ggget out of here!!

I just read the book for the 2nd time a month ago, and remember reading the passage, but after skimming through the book today I couldn't find it. Hopefully someone else has found it, and can give us a chapter number for its location. I think the passage is at the end of a chapter, but I am not entirely sure, and I don't want to reread the book so soon for that little passage. As for a Rush song I would play if I were a DJ with unlimited powers, I would choose "Emotion Detector". That has to be one of my favorite Rush tunes, especially when the energy level kicks in going into the guitar solo. The Boyz use dynamics quite well in that song, and I wish they would have played it on the PW tour. I hope you all celebrated Geddy's 38th B-Day on Saturday. I was thinking, maybe we should all send cards to the Boyz on their B-Days. Can you imagine getting 800+ cards on your B-day? It's just a thought, but let me know how you like it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Erik Habbinga habbinga@tramp.colorado.edu U-niversity of C-olorado between L-ongmont and A-rvada "Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 24 Jun 1991 10:10:14 -0500 From: tmadson@pnet51.orb.mn.org (Todd Madson) Subject: Alex Lifeson: Sense of Humor I thought I'd add my two bits to the Alex Lifeson sense of humor file. During the Minneapolis show of the HYF tour, Alex did something rather weird during the traditional 2112/Temples of Syrinx frenzy towards the end of the show. He was SINGING, on mic., during the overture. As I best recall, it was somewhat like this: "La la la la la la la la, hahahaha" If that wasn't bad enough, during "..Syrinx", he was also doing things like "Ha ha ha!" and playing weird, fast little notes. He also did (you can hear it on the album) the Billy Gibbons styled-"Ah haw haw haw haw" in Force Ten, but much louder. I figured some of you might appreciate this. I should also mention that a friend of mine played keyboards in a christian band at one time with a guitarist who had sold some of his equipment to Alex. If you look in the Show of Hands video, you can see some of this stuff. Interesting stuff.

The dealer says that the soundtrack is hi-fi stereo, with playing time of 120 minutes. Has anybody seen this video? Is it worth buying? I've been ripped off on 'bootlegs' before, and I thought I'd ask before coughing up money for this one.

Several months ago in TNMS were the results to a poll of the readers' favorite songs from each Rush album. Now that my Rush collection has increased, I'm interested in comparing favorites. Which issue can I find those results in? About the Creem interview: I am amazed. This guy fell asleep listening to MP??? I just got it several days ago and think it's perfect; every song is fantastic. The two songs I didn't know before--The Camera Eye and Vital Signs--I hadn't had too-high expectation for (not sure why) but they are incredible songs. Presto: I just got this album recently also. In the last two issues of TNMS (or so) have been several readers' choices for best tracks. No mention of "Red Tide," which I think may be the album's high point. I also like "The Pass" and "Available Light" and, to a lesser extent, "Superconductor" and "Chain Lightning" and "Anagram". "Show Don't Tell" and "Hand Over Fist" were chosen by some as their favorites, which I don't understand. "Show Don't Tell" but has some lyrics that just don't sound refined or polished: "...It's hard to play it safe But apart from a few good friends We don't take anything on faith Until later." "Hand Over Fist" just doesn't seem to fit together... The paper, rock, scissors theme only has a little in common with the failed relationship theme, IMHO. On some other tracks, the music is just not distinctive enough. Perhaps I haven't listened to it enough yet, but the non-chorus sections of a lot of the songs seem, to me, to be, well, just not distinctive enough. Oh well... On the why Chronicles subject: I just copied this from someone who bought it for $4.50 from someone who was sent it as some sort of incentive from the BMG Tape Club. Anyways, since I have only a handful of Rush albums, I copied it just because there was a lot on there I hadn't heard before. Such as Lakeside Park, Bastille Day, New World Man, and (gasp) 2112 and Passage To Bangkok (don't worry, I plan on getting _2112_ very soon). And, as someone else mentioned, it has Passage to Bangkok live, which those of us buying US CDs can't get... Ugh, it's a long post. Sorry,but I like to ramble.. Oh, one more thing: As I read the interpretation of "Red Lenses", it just so happened that "Red Tide" was playing on my box. Interesting correlations. I skipped over the interpretation, however, because I've never heard "Lenses".. That's all for now..
