And
lo, it came to pass, that in the days of spring, a
decree went out from on high saying unto all those who
loveth rock, that the three wise men of Rush wouldst be
performing mighty works in the town of Glasgow come the
ides of September.
And all those who heard wondered and were filled with
amazement and it was so.
And lo, didst Grassy, Jason and Wattie sayeth unto each
other, ‘Let us go forth and see these wise men, for it
is so decreed.’ And lo Robin could not go cos he worketh
full hard and was sad.
And yea, it came to pass that Grassy did take many
shekels and didst purchase three fine tickets from a
passing merchant. And Wattie and Jason didst pay him
across many shekels and Grassy was full well glad. And
Robin was full well sad cos he could noteth go.
And the days they did pass and the time of the concert
didst come. And Jason and Wattie didst say unto each
other, let us take up thine beds and go and crash with
Grassy. And yea, they didst travel full well to Glasgow.
And it was good.
And yea, didst Grassy travel even unto Edinburgh
Airport, where they didst meet and it was good. And lo
they didst depart full well with a glad heart towards
Glasgow in Grassy’s Lexus. And it was good. And the CD
player in the Lexus didst play wonderous fine music and
it was good to there ears. And verlty didst they bang
their heads to Deep Purple, Rush, Zep and all manner of
wonderous things. And it was good.
And lo, didst the three unwise men come unto Glasgow and
they didst pick up Carol Anne and Kieran from the house
of learning, and lo didst Carol Anne dropeth them by a
wayside inn, and they didst enter in and it was good.
‘Let us drink forth the strong drink’ sayeth the three
of them and so it was so. And the innkeeper didst charge
up their gourds with drink and they drinketh full well.
And lo, they didst speak many things of the wonderous
Rush and didst guess what songs they would playeth. And
it was good.
And lo, it came to pass, that they didst travel onwards
to Sauchiehall Street and they didst enter a posh trendy
inn. Here they didst drink more drink. And lo did Jason
go searching for the bog and it was full well down in
the bowels of the earth and took long to reach. And lo,
they didst depart the inn and went forth up Sauchiehall
Street. And they didst come to another trendy inn and lo
they didst put over many shekels for all manner of drink
but Wattie didst drink not of the strong drink but didst
only drink of the coke and the others mocked him full
well and he held his head in shame.
And it came to pass that a great hunger fell upon them
and they were sore hungry. Let us go forth and eat many
things they sayeth and it was so. They didst enter unto
a Chinese place and didst eat mightily from the buffet
and it was good. And the gourds of beer didst appear
miracously upon they table and they didst drink full
well.
And it came to pass that their stomachs been full they
didst depart from the Chinese place and didst stagger
back down Sauchiehall Street. And lo they didst start to
slur their words as they had been smote by strong drink.
And it was good.
And yea, they came even unto an inn close to the SECC,
whence from where did come wondrous sounds of Rush songs
on the jukebox and their hearts were lifted up and they
were sore glad. And it was good. And it came to pass
that they were smitten by more strong drink yet it was
still good and lo they didst come to the SECC whereupon
they were awed by awe and full well stood in amazement
and awe. And it was good.
And lo, they didst enter in to the SECC and the throng
of Rush fans was a thronging far and wide and queues did
appear for drink and t-shirts, but they were sore afraid
they would miss the start so they didst persuade Jason
to wait until after the gig before buying a t-shirt.
And it came to pass that they did enter the arena and
didst stumble to their seats, which were mighty and let
them see to the four corners of the SECC and also the
stage and it was good.
And then didst the darkness fall upon the face of the
SECC and Rush didst appear in all their glory in mighty
majesty and much lights and sound and fireworks and
video screens and lasers and stuff and lo didst they
play lots of good tunes (but not Cygnus X1) and it was
good.
And yea, let me say unto ye all that Neil Peart dost
play the drums full well and didst astound all those
present with his tom-toms and snare drums and cymbals
and gongs and other manner of bangy things which didst
make full well much thunderous noises so much that they
didst all think it was a raging storm of thunder lurking
in the heavens above.
And lo, it was good. |
