From: RUSH Fans Digest Manager <rush-mgr>
The CONTENTS file in the images directory for anonymous ftp (on Syrinx)
has been updated. I originally guessed (incorrectly) that the images
were circa 1987 or so; actually they were scanned from the _Rush Profiled_
CD, released in 1990.

When I was 12, about 8 years ago, everytime I turned on MTV, now
known as eMpTyV, eMpTyV showed rush like they were going out of style
or something. They showed more Rush videos in a day than you could
count on your fingers.
Just some food for thought on how bad eMpTyV has gotten in the
recent past.

Just a couple quick interesting notes. The Washington Post today has a
list of the top 10 grossing tours of 1990. While Rush isn't in the top
10 (#1 went to New Kids), they did get a note as one of 19 acts (after
the top 10) to gross more than $10 million.
Also, a couple of days ago, the local classic rock station printed
their "top 500 songs of all time." Tom Sawyer was the only Rush song
to make the list (that I could see). It barely made it at #499! Ah,
what do they know? :-)

Hello all ya RUSH heads from the place known as "Someplace
special" (hahaha), someplace cold is more like it. Anywayz, I
just got Caress Of Steel for Xmas and it's pretty cool. But, I
was kinda wondering something, does ANYONE out there have P/G on
CD?? And does anyone know where I can get it??? I really like
the album and I want to get it but I can't find it in this place
that don't know good music if it came up and bit them in the a**.
Anywayz, would anyone be nice enough to tell me??? And if it's
possible that I send them the $$$ to get me it since I'm up here
and stuff. But if anyone knows where to get one and would be
willing to buy iy for me if I send them the $$$ I'll be really
gratefull..
[ Hmm, this is odd - around the Washington DC area, it's one of the Rush
CD's you can count on finding. Have you tried checking your local mega-
music store (like Tower records)? :rush-mgr ]
Thanks!
RUSH on dudes!!
