This has caused me to seek out Xanadu by Rush. I hope my neighbours appreciate great musicianship.

Find a live version.   

 

Another great song they rarely played live.  

Between the Wheels

Canada's own.......

Rush.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alex knows one sound.  Lerkst amp set turned to 10, with subtle reverb and chorus and boost/OF/fuzz pedals set to max. 
 

But oh did he do it well.

I’m currently blasting Rockstar by Nickelback and can assure my neighbors hate it! 😉

Anything like the last few years and it will be a good event.

Sadly, Canada offset that by giving us Nickelback as well.  

and Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Gordon Lightfoot et al.   Legends. 
 

They’re forgiven.

Celine Dion.  Offsets them all.

Worse than Robert Pickton...

It would not be an RBC Canadian Open without mentioning one of the finest works of literature ever to be published.

So only 4 of the top 25 ranking players are at the tourney? Seems pretty inconsequential.

Today I learned that Alex Lifeson was on Playing Lessons With the Pros.

Yeah, I knew Rocco was a Rush fan. Personally, Rush is the best three piece R&R band ever, imho. RIP Neil Peart.

So all you have is an insult from a 1980’s sketch? That makes your meme about as relevant as your tournament!

I mean, it's basically a national championship. Their US Open, their British Open...

The winner can say he rules Canada for a year. All the moose and French Canadian stuff you can eat.

If I traveled see tourneys, this would be on my list.

Starting next week you have a 3 week run of a signature event - major - signature event. I'm surprised they got 4 our of the top 25 to commit to be honest. Awful place in the calendar - but someone has to have this spot.

Someone agree with me Sam Burns is overdue.  I see him playing well in Canada.   

 

Off to a pretty good start!

imho hartford, quail hollow, and harbor town are rotatable signature events as in the pga tour shouldnt make them signature events every year.

Really disappointed to see the Alabama v. UCLA softball 🥎 game is weather delayed. Guess I’ll watch some of this 🫤

Oh look, Rory playin’! 
 

*I realize this take is “sad” to most here. But here’s my thinkin’. We get the college softball WS once a year. We get a meh ‘also ran’ tournament like this one several times a year.
As always, to each their own 😊
**and there is the whole, this is a golf site thing as well 🤣

Between the patch on his lead shoulder and several RBC mentions, I wanna give Sam Burns a 10 outta 10 on the “takin’ care of the sponsors” check list! 👏🏼

Charlie Watts', on the other hand, strikes me as a SS drumset ...

Be something to hold a few major (lowercase m) national championships all at one time.  Two Majors in The Open and US Open and then the Canadian Open and maybe Irish and/or Scottish Open.

That’s a great analogy tide. My initial reaction when I saw the Rush video was ‘Damn, I think he needs a few more drums’! 😂 

 

*RUSH always struck me as a “geeks” rock band. I don’t dislike RUSH by any means. If they happen to come on I’ll probably listen. But definitely not seeking ‘em out. Something about them just doesn’t appeal to me. I’m more of a Zeppelin or Stones guy. 
Music to me is just entertainment and not rocket science. If I hear it and it “moves” me I’m down. Therefore I have a lot of “unpopular opinions” when it comes to likes.
