Well, for sure, Ronnie must be jealous of Geddy's voice [and his
nickname...]

Funny, my taxes went up every year during his reign.  See, I'm a
working stiff.  Only people whose taxes went down in those years were
rich people who didn't need the tax break anyway.  Far as the Soviet
Union, they fell apart under the weight of their bureaucracy.  Dutch
had nothing to do with it.  BTW, this great patriot who was supposed
to get the government off people's backs saw the federal gov't grow
more during his admin than any other US pres.!

Well, I agree with ya on that one!  Though I hear the albums don't
sell too well, yet people go to their infernal concerts.  I work
right near the venue for last week's show.  You should see the crowd.
 All yuppie assholes desperately trying not to look like the

The only reason I pick on ya is 'cause you all are such easy targets!
If even a single Rush fan would admit:  Yeah, I know Geddy's voice is
an embarassment, and the lyrics are silly, but I like the band
anyway,  I'd probably leave them alone.  But people feel a need to
defend them so much that I can't resist.  Christian, help,. I'm
sinking!

Well, BOC has had it's share of bombers too, but I freely admit them!
