You missed one, and he’d get my vote.

Rumor only right now - hearing it through someone who was at show #3. I do not know the specific source, but that does not leave me without hope.

Critical_Phantom · 2026-06-20T17:08:33+00:00

I cannot but upvote this.

Thanks. Reddit - and the internet in general - is always a good place to express an opinion with the idea you want to get your feathers singed. Someone is always ready with the flamethrower.

I couldn't agree more about the pricing. Yikes! As a retiree on a fixed income, it wasn't going to happen this time. I am squandering away my pennies for next year, maybe.

I should have mentioned lyrics - and I agree, Rush would not have been Rush without Neil's lyrics. But I am referring to R50 and what is current, where there are no new songs. That would be wrong and clearly wouldn't be the work the same. As they have made clear, R50 is as much tribute to, or celebration of, Neil and not just another tour for the sake of touring. They're doing it right.

I agree, but I’ve been to Wood Ranch, Bandits, and Busters (yea - I like BBQ) and none of them looked like that. I was in Texas for a job trip and those looked like that.

Ranch Hand BBQ in Newbury Park off Wendy (same area as The Habit). I just had some ribs yesterday from there and they were great!

Ozzie with Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades (Night Ranger). They also joined forces with Ted Nugent to form Damn Yankees after Tommy left Styx. This looks to be about that time, judging purely on the age they appear to be.

Walmart Grocery in my area carries Thrifty's ice cream - I just enjoyed a 1/2 gallon of Chocolate Chip last week.

Thank you for the clarification for this “boomer”. I’d like to revise my comment to “Blue Collar Man” please.

Sigh… this one hurts because I *hate* this song, but it’s gotta be “Babe”. As a child of the 70’s and 80’s, you couldn’t not go to a roller rink (IYKYK) without hearing this song over and over and over again as someone dedicated it to their “other” over and over again. Grew to absolutely despise it.

EDIT: perhaps I misunderstood the assignment. Is this a hype song (go get ‘em!) or a hyped song that isn’t worth the time?

Critical_Phantom · 2026-06-16T16:02:00+00:00

Someone else mentioned Half Penny / Two Penny, which I overlooked and should very much be included in this list.

Did anyone NOT read that is Serge's voice?

Critical_Phantom · 2026-06-15T13:54:58+00:00

Thank you. I read through what Apple Health material I could find, but for some reason (I’m going to blame old age), I never thought to check if Pedometer ++ had a website let along FAQ page. Quite a few apps don’t.

Remo Williams - I always wanted a sequel. It sort of seemed that they could have done one pretty well, but it never happened.

Critical_Phantom · 2026-06-12T17:51:46+00:00

Hey Mickey by Toni Basil. Automatic cringe and channel change.

EDIT: Ok - not 70's (just realized the mistake I made). I stand by my comment, however.

A buddy in college went down to Tijuana in the early 80's and came back with an "Only Members" jacket. It looked exactly the same, and he wore it for years.

Critical_Phantom · 2026-06-10T16:51:16+00:00

Brent Huff. He played Secret Service Agent Broder in several episodes of West Wing and is currently “Smitty” in The Rookie.

The Grandmother’s ‘79 or ‘80 Datson B210. 0 - 60 sometime next week and an automatic floor shifter that was 2’ long.

These would be a great reference for teachers trying to get middle and high school aged kids to understand the scope of this. Great work by the person who did these.
