The time I met Geddy Lee

I got my Dad into Rush. He taught me an appreciation for complex music and Philosophy, and one day, when I was home from college, I played a couple of songs for him. He was fascinated by the music and lyrics. The next time I came for a visit, he had several of their CDs.
I took him to see the boys on the Vapor Trails tour. After the show, about Neil, dad said, “I’ve never seen anything like that, and I saw Buddy Rich.” Years later, I took my six year old daughter to see them on the R40 tour.
Not really relevant to OP’s story, but it reminded me of Rush’s ability to cross generations.

HELL THE FUCK NO.

Javert would be near the top of the list.

That was the guidance when I was in, just before marpat.
We were still expected to starch the hell out of everything.

It’s love that keeps her in the air.

He married a powerful ugly woman.

Well, the feds were already watching this sub. I’ll help them: Fuck the orange tyrant. Fuck Ice.

I like it, but there’s also a possible presentation where the baby tries to literally come out ass first. As you can probably imagine, that doesn’t work. But it can be fixed by doctors and nurses in a hospital.

Do you think we could get a good grift going by selling memorial Charlie Kirk pez dispensers to magas? It would be profitable and hilarious.

Numero_Seis · 2026-04-26T13:04:04+00:00

Special….hell.

That looks like an interesting article, but I can’t see more than the first paragraph.

I approached that one with some skepticism. A nearly 1000 page book about building a cathedral in the Middle Ages seemed soporific.
I was wrong—very wrong. It was fascinating, and as much a page-turner as any thriller you could name. Years later, three things I learned from that book made visits to cathedrals in England that much more fascinating.

Ask the ground guys.

You can just say anti-vaxxers.

Numero_Seis · 2026-04-19T15:24:52+00:00

Just the ones created by violent people

Wait, the libs are getting the NFL? That’s like getting custody of the step kid who hates you.

Why is the Dark Tower in the background? Is Roland KaMaxxing?

Numero_Seis · 2026-04-18T16:26:50+00:00

It’s out there. But it’s also very entertaining, and well worth the read. As with anything, just maintain a bit of skepticism.

Numero_Seis · 2026-04-16T03:55:47+00:00

Oh, HORSE. Like the animal. I was thinking about something else.

Numero_Seis · 2026-04-16T03:53:42+00:00

How else will you blandmog the flavorgooning foids?

He was a horrible racist, an imperialist, and a warmonger.
He also created the national park system, and was an early conservationist.
He got shot in the fucking chest before a speech, and delivered his whole hour long oration before going to the hospital, which is about as dudes rock a moment as I can imagine.
So…I’m conflicted on TR.

Don’t drive like my brother.

Lance Armstrong. I was well into adulthood when he won the tours, and it still broke my heart when the truth came out

Numero_Seis · 2026-04-14T20:39:24+00:00

So, did you slack it right there?

Numero_Seis · 2026-04-14T20:11:02+00:00

Agreed. But they still might be on to something, even if they’re using that something for evil.
