Jeez, he looks 80!

[MotleyGirl70]

I saw Rush in '91 during the Presto tour; good concert.

Have you seen them?

One of my first CD purchases was...

Btw, I'm a fan of the other Rush too. Rush Limbaugh :)

[MotleyGirl70]

Two packs of Marlboro (reds) over a lifetime will do that.

[weegee]

Rock and Roll PING! email Weegee to get on/off this list (or grab it yourself to PING the rest) Also the Stooges.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

It is interesting to note that Billy Joel has apparently reunited with himself.

[Dmitry Vukicevich]

I knew you were a good woman. Be still my beating heart. ;)

[Dmitry Vukicevich]

Ooops, sorry a little flustered, I have seen every tour since the 81 Permanent Waves Tour. I also like the other Rush as well.

[ShadowDancer]

Rush, REM, Van Halen and The Cure.

[Geronimo]

I would go see The Police if they play in Boston, I saw them just once before, still relative unknowns, in England in a tiny club in the late 70's...

I just got tickets to see James Cotton playing in Lynn, MA with James Montgomery next month...looking forward to that.

Xer Ping

Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.

Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details and previous articles.

My hubby and I were married one year in 1991 - we went to see the Presto tour too...AWESOME concert - I like Presto the best. Was a bit disappointed in Roll the Bones...

[cmsgop]

YES!!!!, I love Rush too, I need to see them and Van Halen if possible.

[Alkhin]

Of course we should definitely demand a reunion of Spinal Tap

[ncdrumr]

I heard the following bands will also be touring:

Kiss
Boston/REO Speedwagon
Black Sabbath (fronted by Dio, touring under the name "Heaven & Hell")
Foreigner

[dennisw]

Needles and Pins-uh

[PzLdr]

Written by Sonny Bono and Jack Nitsche.

[Richard Kimball]

I'm holding out for South Park on Broadway!

[KC_Conspirator]

The Police, but I am single again so I should also attend Duran Duran.

[MikeD]

Have no fear -- Rush never broke up. In fact, they toured three years ago. They did take a six-year break after a few crises in their personal lives (wife & kid dying kind of crises), but still make music.

[MikeD]

How will VH replace Michael Anthony's voice?

Good question -- his backing vocals define the Van Halen sound almost as much as the guitar...
