The Drive, week of 6/6/11

Thur 6/9/11: 1977

Bob in '77: could go either way. Expect Steve Miller and Foreigner.

Bob should get with the program and play Rush in 77.  Closer to the Heart would be obvious, so  I'd welcome the 11 minute epic Xanadu.

I will dine on honeydew and drink the milk of paradiiiiiIIIIISE!

actually Bob started the whole Rush renaissance rolling -- he plays them in every year they're "legal". and OFTEN.  I blame Chicago's nearness to Canada.

and as expected, Mr Miller boards a big ol' jet air-LINAH. OMFG! the "funky SHIT" version!!. Someone's gonna get docked an hour's pay.

Error #2: "Fat Bottomed Girls" is from '78, Bob.  It's a fat bitch, girls!

Rush renaissance?  what do you mean?  they never really went away, despite that run of synth-laden records on the 80s-90s, most of which I don't know.  Some fans discovered the band during that run of "pre-classic era" releases.   

But it is interesting how "regional" music takes hold.  Perhaps I can credit (some would say "blame") my hometown's proximity to Toronto for finding out about Rush.  Their 2112 album came out circa 76 and a friend's older brother heard of it, then my friend brought the record to our class's "music day."  They always enjoyed prominent radio play on the AOR/headbanger stations back then.

   I meant "renaissance" in the sense of: they suddenly seem to turn up on 10@10 a lot more often then they used to.
