Cars, etc.

Cycle World mag this month has an article about Rush's drummer, his bike, and other stuff. I thought about your music prefs when I saw it.

I'll have to pick up a copy.

I'm about 2/3rds of the way through his book "Ghost Rider", which tells the tale of his using his motorcycle (to the tune of something like 45k miles in 14 months) to help him recover from the sudden loss of his college-aged daughter and his wife shortly after that.

He's such an amazing writer, whether writing thoughtful and thought-provoking lyrics for Rush or just telling in detail how the past couple of years went for him.

I'd really love to see him take a ride in the Space Shuttle sometime because I really want to know what it's like, and he's the only person I would trust to really convey it all to me in words.

But I'm one of those Rush fans that's so intense about them (and there are many of us) that he could write some prose about his morning bowel movement, have Geddy sing it while Alex makes rude noises on the guitar, and I'd rush (pun intended) right out to buy a copy and listen to it 5 times a day.
