Hey Joe, I'm a big fan of yours and would love to see you and G3 to come to New Zealand!

Iceman so sorry to hear you lost your kitty. They are certainly special and it's always hard losing them. It's funny how much we grieve, it sorta gets you by surprise.

I have my beautiful kitty Elvis buried in the backyard. The moggy we have now has just been in a punch-up and has a huge hole on his head that Mr Skippy had to disinfect tonight. *SIGH*

I hope you get another cat to keep you company and give you that unconditional love that only they can come up with.

oxley, I've listened to that hundreds of times, and it never gets old! Absolutely timeless! My ear is always on the instruments and Geddy floats on top. Brings back a lot of good memories of blasting Rush through these giant Altec speakers we used to have back in the 80's. Thanks!

I see the gods in battle rage on high...

Thunderbolts across the sky...

I cannot move, I cannot hide...

I feel a silent scream begin inside...

Jayzus, I love this! lol!

Waiting for a call from the hospital to hear how my sister's surgery went. It was scheduled for 10:30. Knowing her, she wants to stay awake and tell the doctor how to do his job. lol! She's the patient with no patience. lol! I just hope that whatever they find can be fixed.

Hello Joe! I'm from México and I want to ask for something that would mean the world to me. My best friend is getting married on May 18th and he is really a big fan of you Joe. He is a great guitar player he knows all your songs, we have assisted together to all your concert in Mexico G3 and other tours, has all your records and your Red Guitar JS Series. He is going to make a performance in his own wedding in honor to you with a song composed by him and they are going to have their first husband and wife dance with one of your songs (Love Thing) My request is only if you can send to me via email or with any other via a video of you wishing him and his wife to have a great life together... It won't take you more than 30 secs and you could really change his life forever, he may even forget about the other event.....jeje ;) The idea is to play your video just after their dance! Please please! I know how busy you are but if you do it would be our best gift as best man. Best regards!

Their names are Abel and Lily! I also tweet you with this boths videos playing:

I know I'm most likely in the minority but.....

I just don't like Rush. Well, to quantify that, I don't like the singer. He sounds to me like he sucked on helium before he sang, and his voice never really changes, no inflection, all the same. The rest of the band is okay, but I'm always so distracted by my dislike of the singer I can't listen long at all.

Psst ..(whisper whisper ) Cheese I feels much the same as you . (Ha I never thought I would admit that on this forum.)

thanks michelle, am on a plan at the moment, one step at a time I guess

Iceman, sorry to hear about your little cat, I too love animals more than people, lost my border collie 3 years ago and miss him heaps still have his pillow nest to my bed where he slept

hey joe, you ever get to go home ? seems like your always on the road...

Chee, Thanks for the well wishes for my sis. Three incisions, a couple of tubes here and there, and some morphine and she's a-ok so far. No results yet. They had her off the oxygen a bit, and her oxygen count went from 92 to 80, so they put her back on. It really gotta suck to feel like you're suffocating every day. I just hope the results are something fixable. The doctors here dicked around for over 10 years. She finally found a good doc that LISTENS to her at a good hospital 2 hours from here (1 hr from her house). I called to talk to the nurse, but they connected me to her. She talked my ear off, thank you morphine. She was uncomfortable and in pain, but it wasn't *%#@&$!! pain, just OW! pain.

Nemo is here. We usually call it snow. God bless those up north. They be gettin' their asses whooped! We didn't even get an inch here yet, but it's still snowing. We're on the ass end of the hoopla. Just hope those on the coast who have no insulation in their homes yet from SS Sandy and are freezing don't get hit to hard.

A lot of peeps don't like Rush. I guess if you didn't get your mind blown back in the day and come in with the newer stuff, it's just not the same. I love listening to this in the car, but my kids hate Glenn Hughes voice. lol! Whatever makes you happy I guess. lol!

Joe,

DId you ever play guitar at woodin Ships in Sea cliff long island? It was a small bar that a lot of rock guitarist used to play at many years ago. I remember seeing a guitarist there many many years ago. He said he had 8 years experience at tha time and he looked a little like you. I told him he was awesome. I think he played a Jeff beck song and maybe the rover - its been a long time.
