Keep an eye this month: Elizabeth has a book released TODAY--tomorrow I plan to talk a little about it, next week she is guest blogging, and the day AFTER I am doing a review (I had a chance to read it) but because of my post TOMORROW, maybe some other readers will have also read it so we can do a little book chat-- It is the kind of thing you could only ask of people you'd established relationships with (Elizabeth didn't ASK actually--I offered, because she's been so fabulous) but it seems the 3 hit thing may be really good--if you want to do something similar when the time comes, I'm more than happy.<br /><br />(Rush reminds me of early MTV, which is pretty good memory stuff)Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-80632630513569822352010-07-06T08:49:53.225-04:002010-07-06T08:49:53.225-04:00Ok, I know I'm a little late coming into this,...Ok, I know I'm a little late coming into this, but I guess I'll just make an entrance.<br /><br />I'm also a fan of Rush. I was born and raised in Washington state and I remember when they were still new. I think one of their first major venues in the states was in Seattle, although I'm not on that. I was young. I saw them in concert years ago. I think it was for their third album ... er, CD. We had the lasarium show at the Seattle Center back then. Of course, around that same time, I also attended a Carpenters concert, although they didn't have a laser show.True Life and Fictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194767305292360214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-9925457241994116422010-07-06T01:34:30.785-04:002010-07-06T01:34:30.785-04:00Alex, well, congrats on your book!

It was the 2112 Tour. As with all things that are first-time, I remember it vividly. I have not been a fanatic like a friend of mine but I like their music as a tie to the past. <br /><br />Funny aside: When they first came out and I was just getting into music heavily, I always got Rush and Mahogany Rush mixed up. Looking back, not sure how that could ever happen, but I thought people were just shortening the name, you know like the Stones for the Rolling Stones. Had the same problem with the Who and The Guess Who...still don't know how I confused them either...alright I'll shutup now.<br /><br />http://www.apackalipsnow.blogspot.comChuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676928110297819368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-15934845514258148442010-07-05T18:19:00.178-04:002010-07-05T18:19:00.178-04:00Red Barchetta is one of the coolest songs ever.

Looking forward to the grand unveiling!<br /><br />You know, I've never ever listened to Rush (that I know of anyway) but I'm gonna give them a listen. You may have a new convert :) What would you recommend I start with? I'm a fan of music biopics, both fictional and real (This is Spinal Tap and Almost Famous are two great movies) so even though I'm not familiar with the band I think I'd get a kick out of it. It's a good thing that this documentary came out after Cassastar was written and awaiting publication, otherwise we might never have seen it :P<br /><br />Best of luck on your book tour too!Jamie Gibbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168603412367448706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-29136543366769129832010-07-05T15:02:03.561-04:002010-07-05T15:02:03.561-04:00I can't wait to see the book trailer and the r...I can't wait to see the book trailer and the release of your book.<br />Have a great day!Christine Danekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00979611961825725350noreply@blogger.com
