	During a 'RockLine' interview one (late) night, I heard Neil say that
the whole song was a little bit of a joke.  At least the title is.  There are
no previous entries in the series, and he made no mention of the possibility of
doing so (like 'Fear').  'The Gangster of Boats' is a nickname that they tease
one of the <people who they deal with a lot> with.

I'm not exactly sure, but I think it's likely that "BB" is an Alex original. 
Broon is Terry Brown, leading me to believe that the tune was written with him
in mind.  Of course, Alex might have been lazy- simply using the piece as an
intro to "The Bees," I mean, "The Trees."

I definitely agree that "The Big Money" ROCKS - it is an awesome song. It
has a great techno-beat, and that bass/drum/guitar jam in the middle that
Mark L. Reece describes is excellent and equals some of the best of Rush.

Did anyone else read that little thing about Neil being gay in TNMS?

I think its bullsh-t!!!!!!!!!

He dosen't even have a lisp:-)

And besides even if it was Neil in thoes photos(which I don't think it was)
He can pose naked if wants to, that dosen't mean he's gay.

Oh well first cancer, now a queer, what next, maybe Hitler reincarnated?

	I thought Metallica, since Geddy was gonna produce their album, and all
that, besides the fact that they are great.  But I don't think Yes would open
for Rush, but co-headline?....  Now that would be heaven.

Hi,

The FAQ is a file with Frequently Asked Questions and their most
reputable answers. It is posted here periodically and is also available
via anonymous-ftp from the site syrinx.umd.edu . Look around in the rush
directory. I believe it is in rush/special .


I just thought I'd respond ASAP so you can get yourself some nice
reading for the weekend.



Cheers,

It took a long while for The Big Money to grow on me because I felt, and still
do feel, that TBM is way over-produced... there are too many things happening
in that song, musically....  VERY over produced....

The Great White North Album.  A classic, to be sure.
Bob:  "Do you have the lyric sheet, Geddy?"

Ged:  "Oh yeah.  I memorized them."

Doug: "How did you do that so fast?"

Ged:  "I'm a professional, eh."

   I'd go for the Goo Goo Dolls.  Of course, practically nobody has ever
heard of them (hell, I don't even know if they still exist), so I guess
I have to pick somebody else.
   Tommy Shaw was a great act (especially since he kept his show to forty-
five minutes), and I wouldn't mind having him on board again.  I'd also
prefer it if Rush could do the Def Leppard thing; i.e., NO opener.  (Then
we'd either get a three-hour concert or get home before midnight.)
   Since I missed Primus, I'd vote for them, but it's been done.  The Red
Hot Chili Peppers would be interesting, but wouldn't quite work.  (Yeah,
I know, that's an opinion.)  The Bobs would be WAY out of place, and
probably unappreciated by most of the crowd (sadly enough).  So...
   My vote goes to Nine Inch Nails.  (Especially since I'd be seeing
them here in Cleveland, which is NIN's hometown.  You should have seen
the crowd at Lollapalooza when NIN was on...)

	It is indeed discussed in the FAQ. A barchetta is a type of car denoted  
by a certain style of body first used by Ferari. They are rare and buitiful  
cars [from a better vanished time...]. I'd like to see the protagonist in Red  
Barchetta "turn around with shrieking tire to run the deadly race" in order to  
avoid "an alloy air car two lanes wide" while in a tractor.  :-)
