I watched Echo in the Canyon last night. More innocent times when creative people borrowed from each other’s work to push the boundaries forward. The Beatles nicked bits from The Byrds who borrowed heavily from the folk scene and inspired The Beach Boys who pushed the boundaries that pushed The Beatles forward and so on. No Lawyer involved. Just creativity and mutual respect.

Like antennas to heaven - Godspeed You! Black emperor

Sweet Jane - Lou Reed

Possibly or maybe the ladies are smart enough to work out that the chance of financial success as a musician is so low that they study hard, get the best grades and go to the best universities. In the meantime their male counterparts are dragging their knuckles and laughing at fart jokes? Edit: I’m obviously being facetious. The world is not a fair or just place but a little levity goes a long way.

Pretty much every advance in technology has been driven by investment in military research and the adult entertainment industry. Sex and violence have got us to the point we are today. Make of that what you will.

Well it divided opinion. I’m just glad they never revealed his secret hobby of flattening puppies in his custom made steamroller he calls Tits. Legal disclaimer: This fact is totally made up. Don’t cancel Adam Clayton . Bono however is fair game. For the easily outraged Prince Jefri Bilkai allegedly does own a yacht called Tits.

I let love in - Nick Cave

Mr Cuntz makes fine guitars.

Setting sun / Chemical Brothers

Freddie’s dead - Fishbone

Has there ever been a time when rock stars don’t offend people? Even Coldplay offend me with their overwhelming wholesome blandness. Even more bizarre is when people look to them for spiritual or moral awareness or care what they think. He’s a bass player not the Dalai Lama.

It’s like the Sex Pistols on the Grundy show all over again. These libertine rock stars and their potty mouths. I even heard that the bass player from Coldplay blasphemed whilst preparing his Quinoa avocado salad. Filthy degenerates the lot of them.

Folsom prison blues - Johnny Cash

Whatever floats your boat. Keeps people in work and it’s more fun than designer luggage or Botox.

Other than the fact there are very few of them or the association with Geddy Lee and Jason Smith I can’t think of any reasons that an affluent Rush fan or a collector of music memorabilia would want one.

I don’t think the people that buy these are concerned whether they are x times better than y.

Money in the bank is getting virtually no interest and inflation is far higher than is reported. If you want to invest in instruments, old BMX bike, 80s nostalgia or a new and improved beer belly go ahead it’s your money. Just don’t get carried away.

Mellon collie and the infinitive sadness - Smashing Pumpkins

Land of hope and glory - Madness

Sounds like you have saved yourself a lot of grief and public humiliation. There are two reasons I would join a band. Possibly to make some cash but much more likely to meet friends with similar musical taste. It doesn’t look like your current band will do either.

Looks like it sells 6 times faster than a MIM Geddy Lee as I have searched on line and they all appear to be sold.

I think you know the answer to your question then. Tough decision but if he can’t even acknowledge that this is a major failing then there is nothing that can be done. Either you and the drummer get psychic abilities or the band will always suck live.
