Canadian Thanksgiving day! We can thank them for Rush!
Although, not my cup of tea, they are very talented and rock legends.
At 2:40 there's some background video running of Geddy playing a bird on stage. The rest of the video is cool too, with our very own Scott @godofthunder59 as the guest showcasing his bad bird bridge....

...I think I'll hold back my thanks for Nickelback, Bieber and Young for now (and the foreseeable future).

The full video of Geddy can be seen here, look under videos. I shot this at R40 in Buffalo NY. Badbird Bridge

Who says we’re going to the corner? We’ll escape in this.

Bournville is named after the area that the manufacturing plant is in, I think.

It's a 'model village', south of Biminghman city centre. The train from Bath passes through it. Looked quite picturesque, but life's too short to be hanging around in southern parts and I needed to get to Manchester (did Bath - Birmingham New Street - Manchester Picadilly - Preston - Glasgow Central that day).

Ugh. Stil bashing Neil. I was hoping you’ld give him a chance while you’re on meds recuperating. Gues not huh? Won’t hold it against you; you’re entitled to your opinion. We’ll just agree to disagree.

If I'm going to visit a tourist town, it will be Portmeirion. If I don't return, you will know that I am an inmate, not a jailor. I'll be sure to pass everyone's regards to #62.

Right on!

I'm driving. None of my surviving passengers have ever complained about my driving.

I'm crazy enough. Count me in.

The owner bought this in '95. And restored it. And modded it as well is my guess. A '63.
Nice guy, but i haven't told him yet that you're coming down to test drive it. With me as your co-pilot.

She's full time in Vegas - she's your problem. Likewise, Justin Bieber is in LA, so he is also your problem.

Nickelback have not release an album nor toured since 2017 and the 2019 planned album has not yet been released. So that particular Canadian threat has been contained.

Long as they all stay clear of the NYC metro area.

I too am not a Neil fan. I don't like his voice, self-righteousness, and hypocrisy. But he has written some good songs. Good thing other bands cover them.

Just tell me the address and where he keeps the keys and we will arrange an "informal" test drive.
