That's funny!  Thanks for posting.

I listened to Rush from way back when when they were pretty well just a Toronto area band in the 70's, and while I did not care for their stuff in later years, I still enjoy hearing them.  My favourite song of theirs is Red Barchetta.

Geddy loves winter, but many may not know he is also a very avid baseball fan.  My favourite sport as well.  He's often seen sitting in the luxury seats behind home plate at Blue Jays games.  He made a very significant donation a few years ago to The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.  Over 200 historic balls were donated.  I was impressed.

Interesting article, Kevin... not sure about his Canadian origins if he's into baseball  [tongue]

Also funny the article calls Getty a punk rocker.  Maybe to a Yanni fan.  Phil... now that's a punk rocker front-man!

Phil Anselmo from Pantera and Down. 'scuze me, I have to go stage-dive off the bench...

I wouldn't call an affinity for Festool an "eccentricity".  [big grin]

Ex's can be so judgemental.  [smile]

Sorry Paul,but Pentera was not consider a "punk" band in my time! [laughing]

Ha, that's funny.  I was listening to Pantera this evening on the way home from Lowes in fact!!  Instead of Phil I would have used Glen Danzig from the Misfits perhaps.  Both excellent choices.  And yes I did know Geddy loved baseball.  He often used to wear a baseball jersey from the hosting area of their concerts.
