apropos of nothing (and shoutout to Eideteker): I'm working on the 30th anniversary live Rush CD/DVD box. Gotta hand it to these fuckers, how many other 70's butt-rockers are still soldiering on with no change at all from the old days, no reumions, no trend chasing. And the new live stuff still sounds great. And Neil Peart is the best rock drummer since Bonham, if not Moon.

*rolls joint, cranks up "Subdivisions."

kay then if I come I'll bring it.

(also, I bet wolfdaddy is a Rush fan. Any child-of-the 80's scifi fan netizen has to get chills when "Spirit Of Radio," fires up on the radio)

God, I wish I still had my naked-guy-in-a-star iron Rush jersey from 7th grade.

I dated a Rush fan when I was fourteen. He was 19. I thought he was cool. My parents thought he was a skeez. He was the first person to take me to First Avenue. Which makes him cool in my book.

Never got the Rush thing though.

jonmc, you seem to be in better spirits. Must be the joint and the Rush...

posted by Lola_G 23 November | 12:52

Well, I leave work in 5 minutes (half-day). I'll be drunk in my undies before long.

posted by jonmc 23 November | 12:54

Rush is an (almost exclusively) male thing.

posted by jonmc 23 November | 12:55

Yeah, he turned me on to Black Flag and Doc Martens though. Before it was cool.

Never got the Phish thing either though.

posted by Lola_G 23 November | 12:56

Doc Martens were never "cool." Just trendy. Big diff.

posted by It's Raining Florence Henderson 23 November | 13:00

I disagree. They were cool before they were trendy. Yes. Big diff.

posted by Lola_G 23 November | 13:17

I've wore them, but I'd always imagined they make my feet sweat. That's not cool.

posted by danostuporstar 23 November | 13:19

*never worn*
I should prolly just stop typing today altogether, huh?

posted by danostuporstar 23 November | 13:26

Imagined? Like: Hmm, is it the Doc's, or the shivering fits that are making with the sweat? Or am I not really sweating?

Sorry to pick. I'm bored. Empty office syndrome.

Gee thanks, now you've gone and asplained it, and taken what little fun I have away. (((pouts)))

Okay - I'll give you "cool" with the following conditions: earlier than 1970; used, not new. Bonus points if they're hand-painted or held together with duck tape. But then, back in the day, I thought the second person to dye their hair was a sellout.

::peeks head in door::

Oh, er, sorry, thought this thread was about the NYC meetup.

::sneaks out::

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 23 November | 13:51

Don't be so linear. (but have fun at the meetup!)

posted by rainbaby 23 November | 13:58

Ahhh, yes, I see- the whole conversation leads up to- What shoes am I gonna wear Saturday night? Any thoughts? I'm thinking silver pumps.

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 23 November | 14:38

I know a Rush-tolerant chick.
