                You gave me Rush to love, and tonight I was listening to one of my favourite Canadian songs; Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed this song. Thank you Canada, and thank you Crash Test Dummies - a song that's within the reach of my vocal register.

                Best thing out of Canada - Arcade Fire. Saw them live last week in Nottingham - UK. Superb. Best live set I've ever seen. Even tops Roger Waters, who, if I weren't married, and he and I were both gay, and he fancied me, and I fancied him, which I don't, I would shack up with.

                  Nope. Stopping at Rush (especially Red Sector A - I love that riff) and CTD.

                  That's a bit unfair. You're right about Rush though. Thanks to them, technical proficiency, drum solos and sci-fi concept albums almost seem like a good idea.

                      I love the Mmmmm song. The lead singer majored in philosophy and most people don't get the song.

                          Did you know that he always intended for there to be a chorus, but people loved the Mmmmm bit so much that he kept it in. It's pure genius.

                                  His live shows are something else. Granted he isn't much to look at....an ugly Richard Gere somebody once said. But his solo albums are untouchable ( IMO ). Not a Pink Floyd fan though (neither is he now) - except for Final Cut, which was really Waters' first Solo album. Actually, I bet you're not really interested in any of this are you John? I'm just wittering to myself.
