There's no law against a guy having a sense of humor now that he uses no on-stage amp monitoring, is there?

I was told from a guy who knows the sister of Geddy's mailman's dog groomer's husband that Geddy is really just a big A-hole. He only has those on stage so he can make his roadies do enough work lugging them around to justify their pay.

R30 tour is the last time Geddy used the clothes driers; he's onto rotating-spit Rotisserie Chicken cases these days.

He's Canadian. We're just lucky he doesn't use live moose.

HAHA! Chicken for everyone in the crowd! I actually have no idea why he puts those strange things on the stage, but that's probably the point.

he had them put there for the same reason they used to do the driers, to fill up the gaping void of space where his cabinets used to be... [plus, the contrast of Alex's side, where there's still stacks, something was needed to take up the space]

When I saw them I figured it was for that spring fresh groove. I'm always jamming along to my clothes dryer.
