While I haven't actually seen this performance, I strongly suspect that's a positive spin to say the least.

It could well be written by someone who's never seen or heard Rush live before.

Happy B-day bassman!

He's probably getting shorter too. Especially when he straps on that double neck.

Sorry Geddy. Happy birthday.

Great AI photo of Geddy & Alex online today as complete wrinklies. Posted by Alex allegedly but who can tell these days?

I've installed the usual packages necessary for Wordpress sites and forums like this to work - MySQL (database), Apache2 (web server), PHP (website language / processor).

The old server was based in a data centre in Virginia so I called it 'virginian'. The new one is based in a data centre in SE London, Erith to be precise. I lived in SE London for seven years and had never heard of Erith. But Denis Thatcher ran his family's chemicals/preservatives business there until the mid-1960s, so I'm calling it 'denis'.

That's thoughtful of you but at slightly more than £4 a month (I added regular snapshots to the original quote) and considering I have other sites on there, and it's a bit of a hobby as well I'm more than happy to cover it myself. Really do appreciate the offer though.
