Hmmm...methinks Rush covered the political area with Red Sector A and Manhattan Project...?

Both songs I don't think Zep knows. He is heavy into the older Rush, the 2112, AFTK era Rush. Not that there wasn't politics in the older stuff too but it mainly manifested as philosophy and also Rush doesn't go out there and tout themselves as saviours like so many entertainers do.

I'm on the opposite end of that opinion. I feel Andy Summers is one of the most gifted guitarists in existence.

HEY!
Notice where I said "produce sounds I really want to hear" . . . The Police don't make sounds I wanna hear. If I only have to listen to their politics, and they don't give me tasty tunage, they're so off.

Last night I was talking with a woman who bought Police tix. She paid $1600. She did get 4th row center though.

Nope, not us. We are kinda cheap that way. And, we've seen 'em.
We did pay $500 for a festival this summer, but it lasts four days and the price includes full-event tickets for five people, plus camping and showers.

Go look at Stubhub dot com, look up the 2 Fenway dates, and tell me if what people are charging isn't absurd!
