Bit of a smallish digest today, but I figured it had better get out. Neil will
be on the Comedy Channel tomorrow, Nov. 3, at 10pm EST (on a program
called "Politically Incorrect"). Thanks to Puanani & George Rogic who brought
this to my attention... :-)

Subject: Burning for Buddy
Transcribed to me from Chris Kay here is a clip from 'Friday Morning Quater-
back' 26 Aug 1994:
"The 'Burning for Buddy: A Tribute to Buddy Rich' cd is slated to hit the
stores Oct. 4th. The album was proeduced by Rush drummer Neil Peart [happy
belated b-day!!!]. The album features an array of drummers that perform a
number of pieces from Rich's repeatoire as well as some additional pieces.
Look for performances by Kenny Arnoff (John Mellencamp); Bill Bruford (Yes,
King Crimson); Bill Cobham (Miles Davis, Quincy Jones); Steve Ferrone (Average
White Band); Steve Gadd (Paul McCartney, Steely Dan); Manu Katche (Peter
Gabriel); Rod Morgenstein (the Dregs, Steve Morse Band); Simon Phillips (the
Who, Mick Jagger); Steve Smith (Journey); Matt Sorum (Guns'n'Roses, the Cult);
Dave Weckl (Chick Corea); and Peart himself."
This should be a great one! I guess though that Ian Mosely was too busy with
the next Marillion album, eh? And Phil Collins too busy with his lack of
marriage!

PS- much of this is still relavant (if people don't know who played with who)
so I thought I'd resend it.
Also, I have an extra Promo copy of the Burning for Buddy disc if anyone is
interested. parmerterb@hartwick.edu

Subject: Birth and Re-Birth.
Hello and a very fond welcome back to TNMS.!!!
It is truly like seeing an old friend again. So on with the show.
An amazing thing happened while TNMS's home base was being upgraded...
my son, Rush Alexander Jordan was born on September 25,1994. He is in perfect
health and I hope someday to say another Rush fan has been born. It's a little
hard to tell right now, he tenses up a bit when Geddy hits the high notes. I
hope all has gone as well for all my fellow alum of this illustrious
publication. Hope the future will be as spirited as the past.
ORQ: "Were only immortal for a limited time".
See ya soon

Subject: Neil Peart T Perform At Buddy Rich Memorial Concert
A line-up of world-class drummers including Kenny Aronoff, Greg Bissonette,
Omar Hakim and Dave Weckl are slated to perform at the 1994 Buddy Rich
Memorial Scholarship Concert, Sunday, November 6th, at the Manhattan Center
in New York City.
This year's event will celebrate the Atlantic Records release "BURNING FOR
BUDDY: A TRIBUTE TO THE MUSIC OF BUDDY RICH," produced by Rush drummer Neil
Peart. At the concert, Peart will be presented with the 1994 Buddy Rich
Lifetime Achievement Award -- the first recipient ever from the rock field.
Past honorees include Louie Bellson, Mel Lewis and Max Roach.
Cathy Rich, daughter of Buddy and the event producer said: "The award
recognizes individuals who have truly transcended the boundaries of drumming
and brought that art form to new heights of artistic greatness. There are
drummers and then there are musicians. Neil Peart happens to be both!"
This year's concert reunites several artists from the "BURNING FOR BUDDY"
tribute album, which features all-star drummers performing material from the
Buddy Rich repertoire. Concert proceeds will benefit the "Buddy Rich
Memorial Scholarship Program" which provides educational opportunities for
aspiring young musicians.
Concert tickets are available exclusively from Manny's, 156 West 48th Street,
NYC, (212) 819-0576. The $25 ticket price also entitles admission to the 2nd
Annual Manny's New York City Drum Expo, also at the Manhattan Center from
2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., to be followed by the concert at 8:00 p.m.
* Neil Peart's "BURNING FOR BUDDY" is in stores now. The CD is also
available through a special hotline: (800) 563-7234. The first 50 people to
order will receive an autographed poster by Neil Peart. The next 100 will
receive a copy of Neil's own story of the making of "BURNING FOR BUDDY."
Please mention that you are an online buyer when you order.

Just a point that may be of some interest to Rush-Heads, Hugh Syme did the
artwork for Megadeth's new record Youthanasia. Apparently it was done with
the help of a computer. It's pretty cool, so check out the artwork even if
you don't like Megadeth.

hey...I need someone to settle an argument i've been having with my
roommates. They seem to think the star that is shown on 2112 and MP is
a pentagram and that Rush isn't portraying the right image. If you
could excuse my ignorance on this matter and explain this symbol and the
boy shown in front of this star, i would appreciate it.

From: Virtual Unreality <ddmodell@mailbox.syr.edu>
Well it's good to be back on TNMS...
I was going through a period of withdrawl until I discovered the RushFans
TNMS Mosaic server! To all of you with TCP/IP access and a copy of Mosaic
or Netscape I recommend doing some exploring on the friendly World Wide Web!
It's worth it just for the graphics alone...the Internet can be a cold place
when you're surrounded by ASCII text and heartless UNIX prompts all the time!
So here's a quick rush story to tell...I'm in this class called Virtual Art/
Beyond MTV (gee what's beyond THAT?) ART 300 and it's probably the most wired
class I'll ever take all of my years at college. The teacher is loved by
us and hated by the rest of the faculty for his views...basically an anti-
establishment virtual culture prophet. So in this class, we surf the net,
watch clips of cable and network TV and discuss topics that affect our
virtual culture...and we are encouraged to bring in our own videos from time
to time...
Well these people are bringing in Beastie Boys and playing Sabotage 3 times
in a row, and tons of Front 242 and all this stuff....which is all fine and
good and I love techno/industrial to an extent...but for this class I brought
in Subdivisions...why not? It's a video about trying to survive in suburbia...
Well folks...it was not well received...for one thing, and I mean this out
of NO disrespect...Geddy is not the most attractive looking guy in this video
and there was much laughter at this...second, it was attacked as being
shallow and as my teacher put it: "That's the kind of video that tells you
who you are. There's really not much else to say. If you're a kid living
in the suburbs, and you're a Rush fan, you'll obviously identify with it.
Which is not to say it's...bad. But it's just kind of narrow focused."
Well...that should open up a small thread...

Good day eh,
Glad to see the ol' NMS back up and running! I was kinda worried that
I would have to explain to people that my NMS shirt was for something that
disappeared... =)
I found something intresting on another list that I thought I might
share with the rest of ya. For those intrested in 'footwear', there is a new
on line place to look at. Try cdnow.com They have imports and all the regualr
stuff as well. Althought I must admit that the imports are a bit expsive
ranging from 28 for singles to 56 for doubles.
Funny... I have been trying to get myself to re-buy CP cause of a major
strach incurded by a former roomie. Now I have one cause NMS is going to prod
me into it... And for the lastest ranging debate I have heard. (gosh I hope
this doesn't happen here) On my Zeppelin list, they recently had the semi-
annual, Peart vs Bonham contest. Boy do some people sound like they have
never heard Peart play... (I wonder why they subscribe to Zep instead of
Rush?) hehe
Good day!

The vid for "N'sH" was on one of the monthly compilation tapes from
Rock Video Monthly, a subscription service that sends you ten metal
videos (" ") every four weeks or so, for about $4 plus p&h. It's a
service or side-project of Time-Warner. It's been a month or two now
since "N'sH" was on it.

I didn't go to the show, but I did participate in an interesting
experiment. I can't remember if my original posting came through before
the NMS went down, so I apologize if some of you have read this before.
The Kumbaya organizers set up a roundtable on GEnie starting in July,
with a few message bases and information files. During the actual
concert, they held a live *free* (!) online conference from backstage at
the show. Various artists dropped by during the course of the evening
to say a few words and answer some questions, including Alex. It was a
very cool experience, watching the concert on TV and talking to people
from around Canada and the U.S. and backstage at the show, at the same
time.
BTW, I talked to Alex briefly, and he said that they were not planning
to hit the studio for the new album until the new year, and the 20th
anniversary tour is currently on hold. He seemed to be blaming Geddy
for being lazy. :-) Also, Neil was busy with his Buddy Rich tribute.
There is a CD and a calendar available, or to be available soon (I know
from the talk on GEnie that the CDs have not yet shipped, but are
expected soon), and some talk of a video, due to popular demand. I'll
try to track down a phone or fax number for Kumbaya, as you can probably
order the CD directly from them when it is ready. Oh, of course! You
can just contact the people on GEnie from the Internet. I'll get back
to you with an address, but something like "kumbaya@genie.geis.com"
might just work.

Lee's religeon? What is his faith? Does he believe in God? I've heard
that Geddy Lee is Jewish. His name does sound very Jewish, but I don't
think he is. What about Neil and Alex? What faith are they? Are they
ALL Jewish? Get back to me... I'm really curious.

OK--Has anyone else heard _The Gunmen_ Soundtrack album? There is a song on
there called Time to Make the Dough Nutz by Young Black Teenagers.
It is cowritten by Tye Dubois, Neil, Alex, and Geddy. It is a rap song which is
done completely over Tom Sawyer!
BIG NEWS: There is definitely new guitar work on this track! My question is:
Who's new guitar work is it? Is it this guy Dubois or is it Alex? It does not
sound like Alex.

would like to see some type of unplugged thing with Rush. I was listening to
Rivendell the other day and the idea popped into me. It would be interesting
to see the boys do something with an all acoustic setup. I would like to hear
input from other people. See Ya!!
