In honor of Rush returning to the stage, here’s my 1982 letter to Rolling Stone defending the band’s “Signals” album after a snarky review. Anika war fantastisch! @rushtheband, @consequence, @RollingStone, @Revolvermag, @_Rushfans, @cygnusx1net

@GlennThrush The criteria for such lists varies so widely it’s difficult to claim anything definitively. Technical skill? Influence? Songwriting? Sometimes, listening to his beautifully minimalist solos, I've thought Martin Phillips of The Chills the best guitarist ever. For he moved me.

@SovernNation @rodbrooksTV @GlennThrush At one point Three out four members of Fab Thunderbirds (excepting Jimmy Vaughan) were Rhode Islanders.

@GlennThrush Frankly have always found the George-alone demo much better than the White Album, Clapton, electrified version.

@vurnt22 I've always secretly wished that all the Experience tunes/hits could've been re-recorded with the BOG trio.

Peter Falk: "Men with one eye were not drafted and in the Merchant Marine they were not allowed to work on deck or below deck, but they could work in the kitchen. I sailed out as a third cook. My speciality was pork chops. In Marseille we picked up two thousand soldiers. 1/2

@Steven_Hyden @johnsemley3000 I, a Beatlemaniac and Tull freak, had a letter published in RS defending Rush using the Beatles as a musicianship foil. Years later, writing a story for RS on EVH, I was gobsmacked when Ed quietly admitted that he was a huge Tull fan. In fact only band he spoke positively about.

@ricwe123 Bobby Inman told me essentially the same thing in Spring 2003 just as Iraq2 was about to happen.
