Some of the items touched on are the erosion of the Rush mystique, the band’s plans for the future and Alex’s desire to do a tour where they play nothing but unplayed material:

We’ve got so much catalog. I’d love to do a tour where we just play stuff that we’ve never played before. Don’t play anything that we play now and call it the B-track Rush tour. Play some of the stuff nobody has ever heard us play live. That would be a lot of fun. There are lots of opportunities and directions that we can go.

 Alex also discusses the Florida incident and their recent YYZ jam with the Foo Fighters.

Must be tough being Lerxst. :-)

Doing a horizontal flip in Photoshop reveals the contents of a couple of the fans’ signs:

  • Mr. Potatohead’s sign says “Come to Daddy”
  • One of the gals’ says “I like girls too!”

Alex Lifeson’s Gibson B-45-12 Deluxe Acoustic Guitar

It was supposedly used during the A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres era. $2650 USD was the winning bid. Not too bad a deal if it’s authentic.

Collier County sheriff’s deputies didn’t use excessive force in subduing an international rock star at the Ritz-Carlton, Naples, on New Year’s Eve 2003, a federal judge has ruled.
