From: RUSH Fans Digest Manager <rush-mgr>
Well, I've managed to hose the smooth operation of the mailing list this
week. First, I sent out issue #351 before I sent out issue #350. I've
gotten mail from a couple of people (thanks guys) telling me there were
duplicates of #350. Since it was mailed the morning after issue #351
was sent, that may have been the source of the problem, and no actual
duplication existed. (Side note for newer members - if you do get
duplicate copies of the NMS, please drop me a line at the administrative
address to let me know.) In addition to that, I played with the numbering
scheme at that time, and forgot to put it back to where it was supposed to
be, resulting in yesterday's NMS being labeled #352, the same number as
Wednesdays. Thursday's NMS (second #352) is SUPPOSED to be #353, and I
will treat it as such, moving on to #354 for todays NMS. This means there
will APPEAR to be no #353, but in reality, Thursday's (10/10) issue is
that issue. Narf.
In addition, I'm almost totally caught up with administrative mail again,
so if you haven't received a response within 48 hours when you expected one,
drop another note to me there and I'll rectify the situation.
Having said that, I don't know if there will be an NMS for Monday, 10/14.
I won't be at work that day, but I may have time to log in from home and
put the digest together. I can't guarantee anything, tho.
Last, and hopefully most, WE HAVE FINALLY BROKEN THE 1000 MARK!!! Yes,
with the ton o' subscriptions I've been processing in the last week, the
list has grown to over 1000 *known* members. Of course, this does not
count all the anonymous people who receive it through various redistribution
points, although these points in and of themselves account for about five
or so "names" on the list. This means this humble newsletter probably
reaches well over 1000 people on a semi-daily basis. Humbling, in my
opinion. Who'da thunk two years ago that it would snowball to this
magnitude?? I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who
contribute to this forum, and to let you know I'll be making a request
soon for contributions to the anniversary issue. In that issue I'll be
explicitly thanking the many people without whom this wouldn't be nearly
as complete as it is. In any event, I'll be posting a new names list to
the anonymous ftp area once I've finished processing adds/drops today so
people can see who is out there listening.

Philly, PA 12/3
Buffalo, NY 12/15
Albany, NY 12/16 (last date of the preholiday tour)
Toledo OH 11/16
Cleveland OH 11/17
Pittsburgh(my show!) 10/28
Largo MD 12/4
However....call the following number in NYC and they will tell you ANY
city they have a date for. They won't mail you a master list, I tried,
but request any city and they'll tell. I only got cities where I might
feasibly go.
Also, the South and West wont be hit until after the new year...They
officially stated this (I live in Ft. Lauderdale, so I hope things are
in sync with my Spring Break)
Atlantic Records -NYC
(212) 484-8230
Also, If they get pissed about the number (which they probably won't),
please don't mention my name and screw up my connection....
Thanks-
Good luck in finding your city

I've certainly noticed it! Every time I'm playing RTB in the
background while doing something else and that part comes around,
my first instinct is to turn and see if someone is running water
in the bathroom sink!
It doesn't seem to be a cymbal or anything of that sort, since
there are no audible attack transients in the sound (or amplitude
changes at all, for that matter). Maybe Rupert just piped some
white noise into the track right there in order to fatten up the
hi-hat - the sound does have the same approximate musical effect
as a ride cymbal would (to my ears).

Subject: Rose colored glasses and a New question
Why is it that the replacement for 'baby' in "In the Mood" changes from show
to show? I don't have any facts here, but I have always thought that a good
explanation would be the first names of their wives. I think I've heard Ellie?
and Cookie? in different performances, and it seems reasonable. Does anyone
know if the two correlate? The question itself is one gushing disclaimer, so
try to be civil...
}I figured that there are 3 versions....'Hey Baby (early Rush)', 'Hey Cookie',
and the last one is Geddy saying 'Hey Alex' and Alex saying 'Hey Geddy' so
together it sounds like 'Hey Ally'.
Also, back to the EVELATE thing on Vital Signs....I see no valid reason why
Geddy would do that deliberately....I always thought it was an accidental
spoonerism ('like Yuck Fou' and stuff like that) that never got
noticed...which seems unlikely....so I am clueless as to its origin.
Also...could Jimmy Lang who is compilimg NMS subscribers going to shows, post
a valid email address... I couldn't get my response to mail though. Hopefully
the rush-mgr was able to forward it.

The truth _is_ after all a moving target -- and lenses polarize...
Let's review what not-dirty-minded ( >> ;) x 10,000 << )
people have heard at the end of `Red Lenses':
> ***** NEWS FLASH *****
>
> Here are the lyrics for Red Lenses after 'Not blue',
>
> 4:03 Thinkin' about the overfed, the under rated
> 4:12 I said I'm not red, red
> 4:19 Thinkin' about what you said
> 4:27 Think about it, thick thick red
> 4:33 Emotion
> 4:35 Thinkin' about what she said
> 4:37 Bit by Bit
> 4:40 ogh!
and
>GeddY: I'm thinkin about the over-fed, the underread
>I said I'm....Red Red
>Think about what you said...
>Think about it! Think-think Yeah!
> something that i cant understand....and then:
>everybody's inside my HEAD
What I've always thought it was is:
- Thinking about the overfed, the underread
- I said I'm not red red
- I'm thinkin' about what you said... [`what you' sounded `what-shew']
- ...Thinkin' about it! I think, think, red!
- Everybody's inside my head, everybody's inside my bed...
- ooh [`oh' with accent-like emphasis]
Which pretty much lies between the two recently submitted views.
As I mentioned recently I've also heard (with absolutely no doubt)
Geddy say in a live performance (boot) ``I think about/I think about...
being red'' which is an addition and IMHO *not* what he says on the
disc.
Now if you look at the last of these three there is a
sensible connection with the sense of the entire song, which is
about someone brooding over the state of the nation (presumably the
U.S.) as reflected in newsprint and reaching a state of psychogical
distress. (as reported in at least one interview available via ftp
Neil himself was influenced in his writing by reading the newspaper
daily, during a nice time I'm sure we all miss ;) : near the KAL plane
downing and the break down of nuclear arms negotiations). Now if someone
is ideologically attached to capitalism (as realized in his or her nation,
of course) but is faced with all sorts of national ills (and self-evident
economic injustices like starving child-citizens loan scams, and insider
trading) one will is forced consider the ideological alternative
(namely communism). Now if someone's in a state of real distress it's
hard for the person to think clearly or even stop thinking at all
(``thinking about what you said'', ``everybody's inside my head'').
In fact, this scenario is sufficient to account for all of the lines
in the last proposal: the `narrator' is talking about the sad state of
affairs (about ``the overhead, the underread/ the overfed, the
underread'') and the person with whom he or she is talking advocates the
obvious socio-economic alternative (being red), so the `narrator' thinks
about that alternative (being `a red'), but only sees red (doesn't like it,
and/or sees it as being true to the ideological stereotype, `red').
Geddy's extra lyrics also make sense viewed this way. No need for
genitals or the jamming thereof...

Check out Metal Forces (October 1991) for a pretty nice article on RUSH.
Unlike most of the crap we see today, this article actually alludes back
to the albums that didn't quite get that much commercial success.
In addition to the article there is a review of the record and it scores 90/100

Howdy, Rush fans.
I've been reading the digest for quite some time now, and I finally
got the hang of this network here at SJU, so I decided to write in.
I just wanted to talk about the line "We will pay the price, but we
will not count the cost" from Bravado. I know it's from _The
Tidewater tales_, but I've never read the book & I'm wondering if
the book's theme has anything to do with the "theme" (if I may be
so bold- and I think I may) of the mighty drummer's lyrics.
Also, I'm a bass player for a band here in the Philadelphia area
named "Reflection" (yes, this is a shameless plug) & we've been
known to throw a Rush song or three in our set! I'd love to here
from all the bass-playin' Geddy fanatics out there!

Just a few votes for whomever is tallying opinions of what makes
what sound on which track:
- I hear no beeper in Manhattan Project, but I do hear something
that sounds like dogs barking (sun dogs? ;-)
- At the end of Red Lenses, it sounds like Geddy is just doing a
bit of scat-type singing to go along with his playing: something
like "shoop-ba-de-bee-bop-sapa-doopa-deep" (spelling corrections?)
- 2:30 into Where's My Thing? the hissing you hear is just a cymbal
ringing. Note that the hiss gets stronger, pulsing on the downbeats.
Well that's about it, exept to say that the only thing about this digest
that I'm getting a little sick of is people trying to tell everyone else
what they do and don't want to read. Do you people go into bookstores
and tell the hired help to stop selling books that you didn't enjoy
reading? Wait... people do that, don't they. Scary. Well, you get the point.
(and yes I see the irony -- I'm getting on a soapbox to tell others not

Subject: Evalating from the norm...
Hi,
The question about why does Geddy say "Evalate" rather than "Elevate"
in Vital signs is obvious. The whole song is about the comparison between
humans and machines. Machines can only do what they're programmed to do.
Humans occassionally break the rules. Geddy is simply exersising his
freewill (in a humourous manner) by deviating from the norm and inventing
a new word. By NOT doing something in the conventional way, Geddy is
deliberately demonstrating the whole point of the song, ie that we are NOT
programmed machines.
Also someone mentioned Prime Mover being about a godlike being. That
godlike being is in fact human willpower and pride in achievement. This
is the driving force that makes mankind desire to achieve greatness in
any sphere of activity, arts, science, medicine, etc. The title Prime
Mover comes from Ayn Rand's book "The Fountainhead", and a discussion of
this was done in NMS a few months back.

Subject: Xanadu
In the 8 October 1991 issue of NMS, someone (Sean Flanegan, I believe)
mentioned that they will be able to play Xanadu for their English class
after it reads Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem of the same name. When I
was a senoir in high school and we read the poem, I volunteered to play it
for the class onew day and the teacher was enthusiastic when I showed him
Peart's lyrics, since they closely corespond to Coleridge's text. But
when I played it, the teacher got too anxious to hear the lyrics
and ended fast-forwarding through the brilliant instrumental part that
takes up the first 3-4 minutes of the piece. He couldn't care less about
the musical integrity of the piece, which I consider to be one of Rush's
finest masterpieces. All he wanted to hear was the lyrics. And the
rest of the class felt the same way. They are so used to those short
3 minute meaningless eMpTyV pieces. They could not stand to hear a piece
that is 11 minutes long -- 11 minutes seemed like an eternity to them.
Obviously, they were not impressed at all with either Xanadu or Rush
in general. Thus did my little experiment fail, that of gaining new
disciples of Rush. I'll never forgive my English teacher for what he did
to me. Thus I learned how close-minded others are to hearing and appreciating
real music. It is a shame that Paula Abdul and all her friends on eMpTyV
are such an opium to the masses. It is a shame that people cant recognize
when music is written for money's sake and when it is written with the highest
artistic aspirations in mind. I'm just glad that myself and everyone else
that appreciates Rush is aware of this distinction. It is too bad everyone
isnt aware of this crucial distinction in the culture of modern society.

Subject: Gone with a whimper or a bang?
Someone commented earlier that the recent music of our
favorite band seems to have lost its punch, particularly on Presto
and Bones. You have to keep in mind that the boyz have been
playing for about twenty years, and they're always looking for
new directions, musically. That's what keeps their sound fresh
with each new album, and that's why they've survived as long as
they have. I agree that their earlier music, especially in the
early 80s, is very exciting--possibly their best. But I really
like their last two albums, and I know Geddy and the boyz had a
lot of fun with them as well.
I guess you could call the band's new direction as a
"sign of maturity," although I know some people will not buy this
theory. I think a band that makes a good example of this shift
is Led Zeppelin. Their career was only half as long as Rush's,
but in ten short years they went from "Communication Breakdown"
and "Black Dog" to "All My Love" and "Fool in the Rain." The
songs are worlds apart, but very good in their own right. I
think the same can be said about Rush's newer songs.
Maybe you need to ask yourself: are you a Rush fan, or
a fan of early Rush music? (Things that make you go hmmmm....)

the "FAREWELL TO KINGS" or "HEMESPHERES" tours (my first 2 RUSH experiences)
but they were phenominal. Some old stuff like By-Tor (you HAVE to see this
LIVE!!!) would bring back some great memories.
Speaking of the "FAREWELL" tour, the Pat Travers Band was probably one
of the best opening acts I've seen for RUSH.
