I think this plane is the American F-5 fighter plane--the Canadian Air Force
retains the American designation of US-built planes it flies, with the "C"
prefix added.  Although I'm not 100% sure on this, so no flames :-)

Scars!

Scars, for me is the worst song, because it always, when i listen to it, 
reminds me of the Pet Shop Boys. No offense or anything, i know there is a 
lot of Pet Shop Boys fans on this newsgroup :) but it sounds just like
bad English pop groups.

My taste lies more in The pass, Presto and available light of that 
particular album.

Yesterday as I came home from work I heard a song that sounded real familiar.
As I continued to listen I noticed it was What You're Doing but it definately
wasn't Geddy singing.  At the end of the song the DJ said that it came from the
B-Side of Skid Row's new album and it was one of Sebastian Bach's favorite songs
originally done obviously by Rush.  I was wondering if anyone knows of anyother
group doing any covers of Rush?  This BTW was heard once again on Q107, in
Toronto!!  
BTW is it an honor to have a song covered by Skid Row?

I just looked at my program, and you are _absolutely correct_! This
is a big surprise, because I see absolutely _no_ conceptual attachment
between the "Countdown" and "Red Sector A". My guess is that Neil liked
the _sound_ of the name of the place at Cape Canaveral and wrote it
down in his notebook (or remembered it) and thought that it'd make
a nice sounding song title...

Wrong wrong wrong.  Julian is the kid in the DEW video, but he's not on the
cover of Roll the Bones.  Michael Vander Veldt is the kid in the RTB video
& the RTB cover photo.  Check the FAQ for the source of this info.

You know, it's posts like yours (and mine now I guess :-() that are making
this group tedious.  I asked this same question a while back, I had no idea
it had been "beaten to death". Just because *you* have been reading this 
for a while does not mean that everyone has - your attitude is elitist
and suggests that a.m.r is some clique you can "belong" to only if you
don't ask any "same damn questions".

It won't be long before someone posts the request:

	"Where can I find the FAQ?"

and gets the reply posting:

	"That's in the FAQ, asshole."

Tell me something interesting.


ObRushStuff:

I was thinking about the lyrics to Losing It the other day, and the verse
about the writer hit me from a different angle - do you think that this is
some kind of temporal self-awareness on Neil's part?  That is, is the song
a realisation of his fears that one day he may be the writer staring
with glassy eyes, defying the empty page?  Just a thought...

(And hey, I am *really* sorry if this has been beaten to death....  Damn,

  Ya know, I've always liked the high intellectual level of the conversations

Well, after reviewing what I've said about Freewill yesterday and the
signal:noise ratio, etc.  I guess that I should say that I have do not
think that a.m.r is a clique and was not trying to imply that it should
be one.  HOWEVER, it would be a refreshing change if people would look
closely at the FAQ before asking a question.  (Hence Frequently Asked
Question ???)  If you are a newbie, then you are welcome by all means.
(Hell, it is an alt group, no one owns it)  

As far as the writer in Losing It, somewhere, someone asked Neil who
the writer was and he responded that he used Hemingway as a model.  
If you want to interpret his lyrics in other means, do it, that is what
makes songs, poems, books and philosophy interesting, your own interpretation.

Has anybody else noticed that your favorite Rush albums change from time
to time?  I'm currently in a HYF phase.  But that'll change soon.

All three are married. If they still are I don't know but I'm sure they are!

Close, but no cigar.  The actual form of my attribution line doesn't

I'm pretty sure Ged mentioned going to school with Rick Moranis - I know
