Rush v. Dirk, Pratt, & Lerxst

[pg1067]

I know the guy from Ghosts, but I wouldn't know him by name.  I don't know the other two, but I know the shows they're on.

I've heard of Schitt's Creek..Eugene Levy, right? Never seen it, but I've heard of it. But I've not heard of nobody or the other two shows.


EDIT: I know what show Ghosts is. Isn't that the one where a couple buy a house with ghosts from different time periods in it? I saw that in the Emergency Room. lol

Yes, Eugene Levy is/was in Schitt's Creek.  I caught an extremely unfunny episode on my way home from Boston last month.  The morning show stars Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, but it's on Apple TV.  I watched one episode on a free preview, and I'm glad I didn't like it (basically everyone was an asshole/bitch) because I have no intention of adding another streaming service.  And you're correct about Ghosts.  I recently binged through the two existing seasons and quite liked it (I even watched the English predecessor version and liked that as well).  I'd recommend it.

FWIW, Katie Nolan (you know her, yes?) and Christopher Merloni (Law & Order: SUV) will be in future episodes, along with a guy from the Office.

It was Celebrity Jeopardy (which you can sort of see on the podiums).  The contestants were Utkarsh Ambudkar (Jay on the U.S. version of Ghosts), Emily Hampshire (Schitt's Creek) and Mark Duplass (The Morning Show). 

THESE people are celebrities?
I'll take Who In The Hell Are These People for $400, Alex.

I have that discussion with my wife all the time.  "Celebrity Family Feud"?  "Dancing WIth The Stars"?   Who are these people?  When are the celebrities/stars going to get here?

Oh OK, I've seen the ads for that.

I must say, I don't think Reese Witherspoon has aged all that well.

And you have?!!??!   

I think she's still pretty smokin, but that's me.

Tim, do you need glasses? 

[The Letter M]

Tim, do you need glasses? 

He probably just drinks straight from the bottle. No need to sully any glasses.

He's a shitty beer guy. I know his tastes.

Never did much for me even before she started aging badly.  . Not really a Jennifer Aniston fan either.

I'll make a deal with anyone:  you take your pick, and I'll be happy with the one you don't choose.

They're still both attractive, but if you're gonna make that argument, better to post some real photos instead of some photos that have obviously been photoshopped to remove most (if not all) their flaws. 

[TAC]

Scotty wants pictures!!!!!!!

[pg1067]

OK....





Who'd ever have thunk I'd be posting pictures of Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon in a Rush thread?!

[Stadler]

Well, you're definitely stuck with Reese, but even then, Jen's the third friend.

Cox > Aniston > Kudrow (although it's another one where last place still wins).


On an actual Rush subject, does anyone recognize the music in the background of Geddy Lee's Instagram post regarding his upcoming book tour in England?

[King Postwhore]

People are speculating that it's a new song.

[HOF]

Sounds cool whatever it is.

Shazam didn't recognize it, so maybe.

[King Postwhore]

Even if it's one song I'd be stoked.

Sort of sounds like a slowed down version of Face Up.

[ytserush]

I looked this morning once I saw this and the code offered up no appealing tickets. Worst case scenario is we sit in the back like last year, but I'm going to wait to see if anything good pops up later.

Probably my plan. Might just show up on 1/6 and see what happens. I hope they play different songs and no originals. Don't want to hear the same songs every year.

[ytserush]

Finally snagged a sealed copy of the Clockwork Angels vinyl after having dropped the ball back when it was released. Been on the hunt for years for a decent price and it arrived today and was totally mint and perfect. Immediately got that thing protected with my special sleeves and outer cover.

Patience paid off.

Which pressing? It's been reissued more than once I think. Should be able to get one for about $30 these days.

[ytserush]

In The End is one of my favorite Rush songs!

Especially live!

Could be. Could also be AI. Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

I never liked the tune until I heard the version on All The World's A Stage!

[Orbert]

For me, a lot of Rush songs really come to life (no pun intended) when they play them live.  I tend to play albums straight through, often playlists of entire eras of bands, or even their entire catalogue, so there are always lesser-known songs that get past me without much notice.  Then I'll check out R30 or Time Machine or any of the other concert vids, and every song kicks ass, even those I previously didn't think much of.

[Lupton]

I agree totally. Looking at my own experience, I think it helped massively that my introduction to 80's synth era Rush was A Show of Hands, which I heard before any of the studio versions of those songs. Technically I'd already heard some of those tunes live first time I saw Rush on the Presto tour (there's lots of common tunes Hold Your Fire / Presto sets), but I wouldn't know which ones until I heard ASoH which my friend bought shortly after the concert (on CD! was a big deal then ). I still had a tape player at that point so I was envious.   

In contrast, I never heard Exit Stage Left or All the World's a Stage until after I was already familiar with the first eight studio albums.

[TAC]

A Show Of Hands is a great showcase for that era.

Is there a barf emoji?

[TAC]

I feel like the Orpheum in Boston is too big of a place for something like this.

[Samsara]

The Masonic in SF is where DT plays, and where Porcupine Tree plays. Pretty sizable.

Going to try and get a pair of tickets to Ged's thing for Mrs. Samsara and I. Anyone got the password for tomorrow? I'm on the email list but didn't get it?
