BJenkins@ecs.umass.edu asked about people's Rush-playing bands.
Ours is one, but there's only a slight chance that anyone will see it in
the near future, as we really haven't even thought of gigging. It would
take more original songs (now we're ONLY playing Rush tunes.. from all
parts of their career, specializing in those that are most challenging
to play.)

As all should by now know, a 'villa' is not a village in either Italian
or Spanish, but rather a house.
[ Thank you, I though I was really losing it on this one. I can't see
how living in a villa (large rambling house) could be extrapolated from
village... My original remark stands: "House of Strangiato", or maybe
"Strange House". But, hey, it *is* my *opinion*, not being either Alex,
Geddy, or Neil... :rush-mgr ]
Strangiato is only a pidgin-Italian expression.
The song itself, as has been told in some interview, is about a nightmare
or series of nightmares that Alex had.

right now to go out and search for them. BUT I posted an article to
fj.rec.music.progressive (The Japanese NG on progressive music) where
there are some talk about Rush presently. Someone out there might know.
I'll let you know if I get any information. I also told them about

Subject: What's The Meaning of "Presto"?
Date: Wed, 24 Oct 90 11:58:31 CDT
I've devoted a fair amount of brain-time to actually trying to figure
out what the lyrics to the song "Presto" mean, but it's pretty obscure
(not nearly as much so as "Anagram", but I don't really care about that
one... :-). The best I've been able to come up with is a concoction
about how the song is about the pre-Crisis On Infinite Earths
character of Superman, but, of course, I don't really have any way
to verify this.
What other theories are there floating around? Does anyone know the
definitive story behind these lyrics?

[ Please keep your posts to ~75 chars/line or less! :rush-mgr ]
Yesterday Dean asked about Bytor and his switch from evil to good between Fly
By Night and Caress of Steel. I'm sure 20 other people will post this, but
oh well. The main reason that Neil gives is No reason! The characters are
fictional and are just shells that he filled with different personalities.
The actual names comes from nicknames of a pair of dogs (one bites a lot- he
is a Biter/By-Tor!). Also, it admits that it makes a point about not
assuming anything. Once bad is not always bad. Don't be so quick to judge.
And so on.

Geddy: Well, there's part of it in 7, and it slips kind of back and forth
between 7 and 4. We like to actually drop a beat every once in a while just

I'm sure that Rush will return to Sacramento. Undoubtedly they will play
at the Arco Arena, but I would not be surprised if they never went back to
Cal Expo. A friend of mine, who is good friends with Neil, told me that the
band didn't want to play at Cal Expo in the first place, but ended up there
because of management I think. I saw them at Shoreline, so I didn't bother
going to the Cal Expo show. However, I did see David Bowie there a few
months back, and it was the worst concert(not because of Bowie, but because
of the facility, and audience)I've ever been to. I had reserved seats in
the stands, and I absolutely hated it. I will never go to a concert there
again, and I seriously doubt Rush will ever play there again.

Hi fanatics,
I have a few interesting Rush tidbits to share today....
* Chronicles video
I had mentioned awhile back that the video had been cancelled. Well, uh,
that's not the case. The video was officially released yesterday, (10/23/90).
The song lineup is a pretty good compromise between what we would like to see
and what the marketing people would like us to see. Here's the lineup, in
roughly the order of appearance:
A Farewell to Kings
Closer to the Heart
The Trees
Tom Sawyer (live)
Red Barchetta
Subdivisions
Distant Early Warning
Red Sector A
The Big Money
Mystic Rhythms
Time Stand Still
Lock and Key
A few notes: I'm not positive about Lock and Key. Also note that while Tom
Sawyer was listed as "live", (MTV used to show this, taken from Exit..), Red
Barchetta and Red Sector A were NOT listed as such. Either this is a mistake
or we may be in for one hell of a treat! "The Camera Eye" compilation had
Vital Signs, which was previouslly unreleased. Also, I have heard rumours
that all the Moving Pictures tracks were videotaped at Le Studio and only a
few released. Well, we'll know soon enough!
[ For those local to the Washington DC area, I called Erol's about this.
It's not in stock yet, but their distributor has it, and it can be special
ordered through the stores. This info. came from the corporate head-
quarters. The price is $19.95. (Hey, just like Rocky Horror!) :rush-mgr ]
* UK Spirit of Rush address
Here's the UK info:
Subscriptions for the next 4 issues:
UK: L6 ("L" is the closest I can come to a pound sign!) incl P&P
Europe: L8
Australia/NZ: L12
UK address:
Mick Burnett
23, Garden Close
Chinbrook Rd.
Grove Park
London, England s.e.12 9.T.G
UK address for back issues:
Same as above (this is is for ALL back issues, incl USA and UK, I failed
to mention this before)
Back issue prices:
UK: L1.50 (inclu p&p)
USA/Canada: $4.00
Europe: L2.00
Aust/NZ: L3
US: Checks payable to Ray Wawryzniak
Elsewhere: payable to "THE SPIRIT OF RUSH"
Non-UK readers must buy back issues in either CASH or an Intl. Money Order in
Sterling only.
Tell Mick that I sent you!
* Japanese CDs
I called the LA record store about those 3 Jap CDs. It turns out that they
were mis-named. Rush live and New live were Exit.. and A Show of Hands.
Will to Power is the name of a group. Oh well.....
* About the Malibu Celebrity Tennis Jam Sept 15th. I had said that ESPN
covered this event. I called their PR office and it turns out that ESPN DID
NOT cover it but that they probably rented the truck to someone else. Does
anyone know whether it was broadcast or videotaped by an audience member?!!!
* Toronto happenings
I heard last night that a big shindig is planned to honor Rush, Bryan Adams
and some other obscure Canadian artist. Rush is to receive artist of the
decade and there should be a pretty elaborate ceremony. If anyone in the
Toronto area is fanatical to go, I would recommend calling SRO, (they're
listed in the phone book), for information. Also, it's likely that it will
be televised, (fire up those VCRs up there, folks!). The date is Nov 20th.
Well, that's all I have to say for the moment. If anyone has any additional
info on these topics, corrections or comments, don't hesitate to post it.
Take care,
Chris Michael

Subject: Visions
For all you out there who bought "Visions" when it first came out --
they have a revised edition with a few different pictures. The
edition still looks identical to the older version and the writing
is exactly the same, but a few of the pictures have been changed and
some moved around. So if you already have a copy when it first came
out, it might be worth your while to try and locate a new one in the
record stores, if just to see the picture of Gedd and Alex in junior
high! They also have a discography (including singles) for the UK in
the back which follows. I noticed that someone already posted a
discography yesterday but didn't have any singles listed. This
discography also had the breaks where each side of the album is
(shown by a ';'). Enjoy!

Rummaging through my Collins English Dictionary, I found
a definition for the word `peart', pronounced to almost rhyme with
"beer". It means `lively; spirited; brisk'. The related adverb
is "peartly", and the noun is "peartness".
Just something to add to your "useless facts" drawer in

Here's something I haven't seen asked before (my apologies for wasted
bandwidth if it has). While I'm sure they do it in the studio, has
Rush ever exchanged instruments with one another during a show? I've
never heard of it happening, and they've certainly never done it at
any of the shows I've been to, but it sure would be neat to see Alex
on bass & vocals, Geddy on drums, and the Perfessor sawing away! The
reason I ask, Blue Oyster Cult used to do this back in the late '70s
during the opening number of their shows, and it was always fun to
watch. (I'm told the Beatles also did this, but I'm a little young to
have seen them in concert.) Maybe I should send this in to the
Backstage Club, and Neil will answer it in his next "25 Q&A" session.

Subject: More Musician's Stuff . . .
Okay, first of all I'd like to thank those of you who responded to my
posting about RUSH cover bands. Next, just a quick comment about someone's
suggestion to start a list of songs people can play. I'm not one to put
down discussion of how to play different tunes, but something about this
idea really bothers me. First of all, if people start sending in
transcriptions of songs there are bound to be some duplications; thus,
there are bound to be discrepancies. I've never met someone who plays a
song exactly the way I do (thank God). Who is to decide which versions
are actually correct. It would be great if we could get Alex, Ged, and
Neil to come in and arbitrate. But somehow I think that's a little
unlikely. I still think that the discussions of style are great. I've
really enjoyed the ongoing one about Spirit's intro. I just hope that
a compilation of songs doesn't turn out to be another issue of
Guitar Player for the Musician Who Is Too Lazy To Use His Own Ear (oops,
I meant Guitar for the Practicing Musician).
That's all folks. And keep sending stuff about your bands. If there's
anyone in the New England area gigging, I'd definitely like to hear about
it.
