Subject: Administrivia
Just a couple of quick notes. First, once again if you missed it yesterday,
there is now a newsgroup in Netnews called "alt.music.rush". Have a ball.
It will not replace the NMS (unless I get 1300+ unsub. requests), but we're
thinking about porting the NMS there. Don't ask me about this now, PLEASE.
If we decide to do this, I'll make copious posts in Administrivia about it.
Secondly, due to a meeting sucking up half my day (literally), I'm still
behind on admin mail, but I hope to have gotten through all the unsub.
and addr. change requests by the time this goes out.
Also, apparently there was a snafu with the mail files, and some posts were
duplicated yesterday from earlier issues. Not sure how, but I was doing
a lot of stuff on the fly, and apparently got an old copy of something.
Sorry, folks!
Oh, last but not least, Doug White's songlist generator has been uploaded to
the Syrinx ftp site. It's now in a file called 'rush/special/songlist.tar'.
If it's not obvious, it's a tar (tape archive) format file, and you'd need
'tar' to extract it easily. I believe it can also be torn apart by hand, as
it's only a bunch of text files smashed together. Enjoy!

Hey everyone!!!
In the April 13 NMS, THE QUIET MAN was replying to a previous post and said"
<"Willowdale" (from "The Necromancer") is a real suburb area of Toronto.
He is correct and if I am not mistaken it is where either Alex or Geddy
grew-up.I am not sure which one, and I lent VISIONS to a friend and don't
have access
to it to check up on it. Anyone know for sure??? Thanks.
BTW, I *REALLY* hope that Rus comes back to Pittsburgh for a show at Star Lake
this summer. I would love it. I saw Yes there and they were unbelievable.

Subject: What songs are better live / in the studio
I was just thinking the other day about which Rush songs are better
live and which ones are better in the studio. There are those which
say that _every_ song sounds better live, and I'm sure there are
those who feel the opposite way as well. What do I think....I think
*most* of Rush's songs have sounded better played live, but many
don't.....for example I think "Batille Day" and "Something for Nothing"
are a lot better sounding in their studio versions. On the other
hand, some songs like "In the End" are *so much* better live.
Here's my list....
Lousy on the album, better live: In the End, By-Tor, Lakeside Park,
Red Sector A
Better on the album: Something for Nothing, Analog Kid, Closer to
the Heart, Roll the Bones
On a similar subject, what are your favorite "Geddy-isms" (slight
changes in lyrics or emphasis on particular words Geddy does when
performing a song live) ?
Mine would be Geddy's live vocalization of "Subdivisions."

Since where Lakeside Park is or isn't has already been discussed, I won't
discuss it any further. But, May 24th is NOT Canada's Independence Day.
July 1 is Canada Day, which is the holiday that celebrates Canada as
a nation. May 24 is Queen Victoria's Birthday, which for some reason
is celebrated instead of, for example, Queen Elizabeth's Birthday. I
suppose the tradition to celebrate it originated in Victoria's reign.
Anyhow, the holiday is no longer celebrated on the 24th of May but
rather on the third Monday in May--kind of like our Memorial Day,
which moves around too. Well, in 1993, it's on May 24th, but this
is the FOURTH Monday in May. Oh well, it's on a Monday in May.
Canadians like holidays, and they get more of them than most Americans
do. Smart people!

I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the significance of

than simple humor. I personally try not to have thoughts on anything if at
all possible. They just seem to confuse any other thoughts I might have. That

I don't know if I have come upon a real "find" or not, but I just bought
a Roll the Bones single (4 tracks, #4 is Neil talking over RTB about the
usual Peart-esque profundities of lyricwriting). I also bought a RTB
"Limited Edition Holograph Disc" (4 different tracks, except for RTB, with
#4 being Geddy talking over RTB about humor and life in general.)
Both of these say Atlantic, but they have that import vibe, you know?
The holograph disc has a true holograph on the top side.
Does anyone have these? Are these at all "collectibles" or even "rare"?

This is a little out of character for me but I have to respond to the Nick
Mascari post from April 13. It is a flame so you may want to hit your
spacebar now.
First of all, if you have a problem with what people are posting about,
HIT YOUR F&*^ING SPACEBAR! That what page down is for. Just take your
little index finger and tap the big bar at the bottom of the keyboard -
you can do it (insert sarcasm). I don't like to read about stuff like that
either but you don't see me bitching about it. Just because it is pissing
you off doesn't mean you can scream at people and tell them to get a life.
I think you are the one that needs to get a life (instead of balling people
out on what they should and should not write about). This is a public mailing
list in which the subscribers can write ANYTHING they wish. If you are so
worried about doing other things like "getting good grades and drinking beer"
(which is pretty much a contrast in terms - I know, I was in school once too)
then don't read the post then complain about what you see. And as far as
your sarcasm about Cleveland, OH - f--- you... I live here.
You asked for rebuttal and got it.
I apologize to the Rush Mgr and the reading public about this. I seriously
considered mailing this to Nick direct but why, he balled everyone else out
in public so I did the same.

Subject: Rush Commercialized
(sorry about spelling in this post -- it's really late.)
I've read the various talk about bringing Rush to the masses, and I say --
Bullshit. I agree with Nick Mascari. We do belong to sort of a "secret club."
I'm not going to push my beliefs and tastes on others. That's sort of like
high-pressure salesmen and door-to-door evangelists. They really annoy me.
I've been into rush for at least 12 years and I love 'em. I don't expect others
to, and I won't participate in a campaign to do so. I wholeheartedly discourage
such action. When RTB came out, I stopped listening to the radio after a while,
because every time I turned on DC 101 or 98 Rock, I heard Dreamline, and it was
(is) much too good a song to get killed like Extreme's `More Than Words.' (Did
they bang the shit out of that, or what?) And I like Extreme. I just can't
listen to that song anymore, they played it to death. I don't want that to
happen (oops) to good Rush songs.
I see the possibility of this rising into another heated debate, but
anything's better than that Damn Bandana thing. GET A LIFE. (Nick- Neil

from Muhalla the Flying Mystic to Peart. Not Blackbeard.)

Hello all,
It's been a while since I last posted, so here's a random subject
for you. As I was looking through the lastest FAQL, I came across
Dan's note saying that the Anthem release of the ESL CD is ADD,
while Mercury's is AAD.
I just recently upgraded my vinyl copy of ESL to CD and noticed
something strange. The case says that the CD is AAD, but on the
CD itself it says it is ADD. (This is the Mercury release.) I've
mailed a few people (including Dan himself) and gotten responses
saying that their copies don't say either AAD or ADD at all on the
disc itself.
Can anyone shed any light on this? It's not a huge deal to me,
but I am kinda curious...

you feel it is of general enough interest.

Subject: Concert Review (NEC 12/04/92) [ SPOILER ]
Hi All,
Just a quick review of Rush's concert at the Birmingham NEC (UK) on 12/04/92.
This was there first UK tour since HYF - we didn't get the Presto tour.
The support band were Primus. I thought they were crap. 9 out of 10 people I
spoke to afterwards said they were crap. They were also the wrong sort of band
to support Rush (I shouldn't really complain, they didn't have any support band
last time !!!!).
Rush came on around 8.30 and finally left around 10.30 (having done an encore).
Geddy sounded a bit flat and hoarse early on, but improved over time. Neil was
his usual storming self; and yes, he was wearing a bandana (so what !!!!). Alex
was playing very well, and was much more involved than in recent tours.
The set list was drawn from a wide range of albums.
>From Presto, Show Don't Tell was a bit disapointing, but Superconductor was
excellent. I loved the bunnies....the one on the left was tapping his foot in
time to the music, while the one on the right was head-banging (or should that
be ear-banging !!!!). The one on the left got a bit deflated just after first
appearing - perhaps he'd farted ????.
>From RTB, Roll The Bones was excellent (the video background of the talking
skeleton was great); Bravado was superb, but GOAC was not so good (a shame, it
is my favourite track on the album). Dreamline was pretty good.
>From Power Windows, I can only remember Big Money being played - this was
great. I did miss not hearing Marathon though.
>From HYF, Force Ten was a storming show opener, I can't remember anything else
being played.
The rest of the set was made up of excellent older stuff like Limelight,
Anthem,
Spirit Of Radio, Tom Sawyer, Xanadu etc etc (you all know the set list by now).
Neil's drum solo didn't hold my attention as much as it used to - perhaps it's
time he completely re-worked it.
This was a great concert, well worth travelling from Reading to see. I enjoyed
it more than the HYF tour - perhaps because the boys looked happier and more
relaxed. Alex was certainly giving it his all !!!!
I'll be at Wembley for the show on Saturday 13/04/92 - see you then....
Cheers.

About 4 months ago when the Boyz played Omaha and Eric was supporting, I was
intent on acquiring one of Alex's guitar picks. After the show was concluded
and the lights came on, I rushed to the front row from my seat in the 18th
and fortuitously came upon two pink Ibanez guitar picks. As we all know, Rush
is not known for throwing things to the audience, but from what I've heard,
Lifeson occaisionably drops them inconspicuously to unsuspecting fans in the
front. Try combing the front row after the show, and maybe you will have the
same luck as I did.

Someone told me that if Neil is enjoying a particular concert,
he will do that "windmill-guitar-thing". I was at the Chapel Hill, NC
show and he did it there. It was a great concert and the crowd was
