Off: 101 adjectives

[Joseph Brooks]

Go figure.. I always counted Peart's lyrics as one of Rush's strong points.
I don't understand what is bad about *most* of his stuff. (everyone misses
once in a while..). Who do you consider to be a "good" lyricist then? Maybe
I shouldn't ask. I am no rabid Rush fan, though I have enjoyed them over the
years.... Its hard for me to imagine anyone hating them as much as you do. I
suppose there's someone somewhere who can't imagine anyone hating Boston as
much as I do...

                A church fart has much more finesse than Geddy's voice...And
a lot
                more finesse than Neil's 'lyrics'...
