I may be the only person who cares but here is the latest on Rush: Geddy, Alex, and Neil are spending six weeks in isolation somewhere in Canada. They are spending this time to write all of their new album. After that they are going to Florida (city unknown) to do two concerts. Then they are going to England for a couple more concerts. These concerts are suppose to still be Grace Under Pressure concerts and not contain much of what they wrote in Canada. After the concerts they are going back to the studio in Canada and start recording. Final product is due at the end of June. Nothing is yet known about the style or content of album #13 but I'm sure things will begin to leak out about six weeks from now when they return to civilization. Wouldn't it be a nice surprise if they had Wakeman or somebody close to Wakeman's expertise adding keyboards to the group and at the same time letting Geddy concentrate on being the World's greatest bassist (as all us real Rush fans know him). But don't worry I'm not counting on this happening, but I will be satisfied with whatever they do to #13. At least I'm sure it won't sound like Prince wrote all the music like with Collins new album. It doesn't sound bad for Collins but Rush's philosophy says no way! By the way if anybody out there can manage to get tickets for the concerts in Florida contact me and I would give a good deal for two or three (allred@AMSAA), my address is: Jeff Allred 672 Nesbitt Rd.
