were they born but three
decades later would they be
RPG coders?

Those naughty Canucks
They borrowed from Raymond Scott
They almost got sued!

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 17:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Those cheaky Canucks
borrowed from Tchaikovsky, "We
have assumed control."

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 17:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Those silly Canucks
Using airport and morse codes
in song, Y Y Zed

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 17:35 (eighteen years ago) link

If I could still play
AD&D to ol' Rush like
When I was a boy. . . .

"Power Windows" was
brought to you by the letter
'M'. Why that letter?

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 00:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh sweet Rivendell
Led Zep weren't alone with the
Tolkien fixation

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 00:20 (eighteen years ago) link

So many rumors
Like this - no, Neil Peart does not
have a doctorate

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 00:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Who is John Rutsey?
You may well ask this question.
Well, heard of Pete Best?

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 00:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Plato, Socrates,
What use do I have of these,
When I have "The Trees"?

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 00:21 (eighteen years ago) link

geddy's real name is
gary, but his grandma used to say
"geddy", and it stuck

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 00:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Geddy sings so high
I say we blame Canada
It gets cold up there

I love first record
I might be the only one
Besides John Rutsey

I survived high school
because of "Subdivisions"
That and Minor Threat

Tai Shan is the name

― zaxxon25 (zaxxon25), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 12:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Tai Shan is the name
Of the DC zoo panda
Influenced by Rush?

― zaxxon25 (zaxxon25), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 12:59 (eighteen years ago) link

"Hold Your Fire" cover?
Geddy sez: "It has nothing
to do with brown rice."

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 19:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Geddy Lee - who else
could sing for the Great White North?
"Take off, you hoser!"

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 20:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Rush: bringing you so
many record covers to
examine while stoned.

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 20:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Listen to those toms;
Peart gets a lot of flack now,
but he gets around.

― Dominique (dleone), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 20:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Neil Peart, a drummer
The only one of the three
who names his solos

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 23:19 (eighteen years ago) link

I love first record
I might be the only one
Besides John Rutsey

No, dude, I do too
Working Man is a hard-rock
jam for the ages

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 23:23 (eighteen years ago) link

Fans read liners, ask:
"No music credit for Neil,
are drums not music?"

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Thursday, 12 January 2006 02:44 (eighteen years ago) link

"Didacts and Narpets"
could be an anagram for
"Addicts and Parents"

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Friday, 13 January 2006 12:47 (eighteen years ago) link

WTF? Neil's drums
toured North America but
without Neil. That's weird.

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Friday, 13 January 2006 22:34 (eighteen years ago) link

Talk about Rand but
Unlike Saints Joni and Neil
They're not tax exiles

― Sundar (sundar), Saturday, 14 January 2006 17:23 (eighteen years ago) link

I am new to Rush -
what song is the best showcase
for Neil Peart's drumming?

What song, most of all,
makes you wonder how the fuck
he did what he did?

― Deluxe (Damian), Saturday, 14 January 2006 21:48 (eighteen years ago) link

That's arguable,
But the best known Peart showcase
Would be YYZ

― dlp9001, Saturday, 14 January 2006 22:23 (eighteen years ago) link

I thank you, and will
keep this tune in mind next time
I'm CD shopping.

― Deluxe (Damian), Saturday, 14 January 2006 22:27 (eighteen years ago) link

it must be rush day on vh-1 classic, all rush all the time.

― keyth (keyth), Sunday, 15 January 2006 05:27 (eighteen years ago) link

I'd like Rush a lot more if they wore black capes covered with gold $ signs...

How about robes?

Wow, I count over 100 Rush haiku here!

(25 of 'em are mine)

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 04:59 (eighteen years ago) link

How was R30,
anyone who bought it?
Looked good on TV.

― Sundar (sundar), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 05:10 (eighteen years ago) link

R30 gives you
two dvd, two cd,
and two guitar picks

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 05:39 (eighteen years ago) link

i have been to both
la villa strangiato
and sphyrinx's temple

― prince rupert, Tuesday, 24 January 2006 05:48 (eighteen years ago) link

four months pass...

new "Replay x 3"
three videos, one cd
Best Buy has bonus

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Rush pretty much rocks my world. I'm always saddened by the amount of unfounded hate that is heaped upon them. These guys have been cranking out consistently high quality albums for over 30 years, you'd think someone would cut them some slack!

The string of albums starting with Permanent Waves and ending with Power Windows were basically flawless, and there are many great songs throughout their catalog.

Please stop the hate!

― Matt Olken (Moodles), Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I have to say, Matt
I appreciate your love
But that's no haiku

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Good point Jesus Dan, just had to get that off my chest.

Here you go:

Rush in Rio rocks
Brazilians go nuts during
Alex's solos

― Matt Olken (Moodles), Thursday, 22 June 2006 21:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Your bad haiku has
One too many syllables
In the second line

― Matt #2 (Matt #2), Thursday, 22 June 2006 21:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey Matt #2
Let's not get all pedantic
It's the thought that counts

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Thursday, 22 June 2006 21:11 (seventeen years ago) link

This machinery
Making Rush haiku can still
Be open-hearted

― LC (Damian), Thursday, 22 June 2006 22:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I say "Brazilians"
With three syllables, not four.
Does anyone else?

― Matt Olken (Moodles), Friday, 23 June 2006 14:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Let's see: bru-zil-yans.
I say Brazilians with three,
Not four syllables.

― dlp9001 (dlp9001), Friday, 23 June 2006 16:18 (seventeen years ago) link

...and this argument
Makes me glad there's no Rush song
Called "Aluminum."

― dlp9001 (dlp9001), Friday, 23 June 2006 16:22 (seventeen years ago) link

...and this argument
Makes me glad there's no Rush song
Called "Aluminum."
-- dlp9001 (mysticalbeas...), June 23rd, 2006.

Oh, but there should be - I can just hear Geddy Lee singing "Al-u-min-i-yum!" Don't know what such a song would be about, but I know it would rock!

― Matt Olken (Moodles), Friday, 23 June 2006 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

wish I still got high
when A Passage to Bangkok
comes on in the car

― nicky lo-fi (nicky lo-fi), Friday, 23 June 2006 19:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Liked Rush as a teen
Started listening again
Brings back those old days

Friend's smoke-filled basement
'Anthem' blasts on the hi-fi
Air guitars abound

― Lynco (lync0), Friday, 23 June 2006 19:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I have two copies
Of the three-dvd set
All shrink-wrap intact

― pdf (Phil Freeman), Friday, 23 June 2006 19:44 (seventeen years ago) link

for some strange reason
i don't possess any rush
should remedy that

― gear (gear), Friday, 23 June 2006 19:48 (seventeen years ago) link
