I had been hopeful, too. I mean, he likes to write; and he'd       record all of his drum        parts in a single day. I'd have thought he'd have agreed to another album or       two.               Anyway, Lifeson said recently that he hoped his collaborations with Geddy       would continue, and Geddy's said similar things about working with Alex. So       things could be worse.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
