That's whacked. Bigtime.

I'm also fairly certain that "Red Barchetta" predated the release of the Ferrari of the same name.

So glad this wasn't a Rush Limbag fan request--------

I'd be sick all over again


Then again, the Coultergeist /Plame comparison wasn't much of a comparison either.......

Those dudes in Rush look old, but not quite that old.

The Ferrari barchetta is from the '50s.

Ahhh, THAT Barchetta. Sorry my bad, forgot there had been an "old" one too. I thought you meant this one (2001-ish vintage):

But that supposed LSD reference is whacked. Kinda stretching it a bit, no? You could take any paragraph and stretch it to make supposed drug references.

Like that?

Here's my ticket from back in the day, the concert was in a hockey rink that only held about 2000 people.

Found the all time best shot of Neil.

Here's an amazing story and photos of Neil and the guy who inspired Red Barchetta.

[Rick Lee]

Randy, make sure you're in your seat when the opening scene comes on the jumbotron before the first song. It's pretty funny. Neil actually has a sense of humor this tour.

Hate hate hate hate hate hate RUSH. Local variety rock station here plays them constantly. I always thought the songs were just filler. I guess they do still have some fans. Just thought I'd share.
