   Gosh, either you get up early in the morning or else you don't   
   sleep! I don't know about you but "Trailer Park Boys" comes on, I   
   think, at a ridiculous time of three or four o'clock in the "am"   
   wherever I am. No wonder I've got bloodshot eyes sometimes!   
   Weren't Alex and a regular on the show taking turns playing the   
   beginning of "Closer To The Heart" on guitar.  That was kinda   
   neat!  I wonder what they did for the "arena" footage and sound.   
   It probably said in the credits!  ;)   
      
   ah, yes!  RIO...  :]  See!  You haven't seen the band in ages   
   either!   
      
   Do you suppose Rush, in concert, still attempts to remain somewhat   
   "true" to the studio sound of their music?  I seems to me they   
   didn't stray too far.  I guess, though, I'm kind of overstating   
   that.  lol  I get carried away in a "rush" sometimes.   
      
   It sounds like you had a good time meeting those people.  Ya   
   really got to love the music at the end of "Trailer Park Boys"   
   too!  Wow, is that ever different.  It kind of reminded me of   
   something the Romaniac Brothers recorded on their pre-recorded   
   cassette (EP) back in the 80s. I'm rockin' ya know?  I figured   
   they were in Halifax.  I thought I either heard or saw a few of   
   them discussing their program in an interview(?) or a news clip(?)   
   at one time, maybe on CBC but I'm uncertain.   
      
   Are those fast moving credits or what?!  They go by So fast I miss   
   them most of the time.  I wasn't sure who acted in it so thanks   
   for helping me out.  Just think, I was only channel-surfing and   
   came across the show by chance.  And, I caught the show right at   
   the beginning.  Rarely do I have such luck.  Actually, I'd like to   
   see that episode again.  I guess I'd better hope they have   
   repeats.  Oh God, I can't believe I actually said it after   
   complaining about how terrible TV was.  Anyway maybe I'll check to   
   see if this VCR machine still works just in case.  lol   
      
   Did you know that there was another band named "Rush" (they were a   
   British rock band) in existance at the same time the Canadian band   
   had released/or was about to release their second album "Fly By   
   Night" in 1974?  The British group released their self-titled   
   debut album "Rush" at around that same time as well.  I know this   
   because a friend of mine (a Frank Zappa fan who'd drive anyone   
   nuts) bought the album. We used to listen it in his basement!   
   Then one day, he offered it for one of mine. The thing is, at the   
   time, I think I only liked one or tune songs, if that, so I wanted   
   to trade my album for one of his other albums like...ahem, Zappa's   
   "200 Motels!"  No, I did not see opportunity knocking before my   
   eyes!  If I had seen, I would have gladly traded whatever I had   
   for a soon-to-be rare vinyl album.   
      
   So, okay, I knew this was not the Canadian band, but, I could not   
   have foreseen the world-wide popularity of their music that was   
   yet to come. I'm kicking myself now of course!  That album by the   
   British band (and the band itself) soon vanished, never to be   
   heard from again. I'll guess and say that British "Rush" album   
   might be worth a few bucks to some collector.   
      
   Oops!  I'd better stop before I really get going.  Oh, btw, I saw   
   O'Brien on NewsWorld last night but I forget the program host's   
   name...he was in a rock band "Moxy (mumble mumble) something or   
   other" maybe.
