Well done, Ed!

I caught maybe the last 15 minutes and all you guys had a good rapport going.

I'll have to check out the podcast later to hear the stuff I missed.

HowF-ingCool

P.S. When did Geddy sing with Spinal Tap?? (The track they are playing now.) Good thing he never left his day job, eh?

I called in and answered the Rush trivia question of the song playing near the end of the program which was 'Battlescar' by Max Webster with Rush from the album 'Universal Juveniles' and I won a BluRay copy of 'Snakes and Arrows' Live.

Those guys are pretty funny. And it was Mr. Big, the other opener they were trying to think about from the time period.

That reminds me of the band Mr. Mister. I was in California and I saw the singer/bass player on the street. I said, "Hey, you are Mr. Mister, right?"

He said, "Thats Mr. Mister Mister to you Mister...."

Some serious douchebags here........who can actually sit and listen to these two?

Could not stand more than a few minutes of this.


Congrats to Ed..I guess
#17 - Posted 8/15/09 @11:05AM by TommYYZ [contact]

16- Well quite a few sat and listened, and thought it was great. Why is it the people who know the least always scream to be heard the most?

By your own admission you only listened to a few minutes. Yet you feel the urge to express to everyone your disaproval? That is pretty lame.
