I wish we had this kind of news from VH..
Taken from Neil Peart's website (an excerpt):
"Ha—what a question! Of course I could solo over it—I’d love to!—but I would never dare to suggest such a thing myself. When Nick pushed me like that, he would say, “Hey man, I wouldn’t ask if I didn’t know you could do it,” and of course that was a kind of challenge. All of us picked up that “can do” spirit, and it came to express the mood of our sessions at Allaire—brash, confident, determined, inspired, challenged, fired-up, defiant, excited.
As I said to Rich and Nick when my last drum track was finished, “I have never enjoyed the recording process so much, nor been so satisfied with the results.” "
Talk about wishful thinking, huh. Looks like a new Rush release is on the way. It is nice to read about a 30+ year old band getting excited about creating music TOGETHER. What a concept.

I'm the same way. I can't help but get bitter about VH when other bands I follow have their lives squared away. I know that's my own problem, but it pisses me off.
Rush is one I follow and for all the shit we give Ray Daniels, they seem to have their shit together and are about the music. I'd trade their organization and people everyday of the week for VH's.
I also follow Genesis a lot. They are putting a 20-stadium tour together for the summer. It's just about getting back together and playing the music. Why is that so freaking hard for VH?

Ya know, Peart has lost his wife and daughter and yet he perserveres, creating awesome music and writing can't-put-down books. He could have said to heck with it all and become a recluse. There's no reason for Eddie to be sour about life or music if he would only put it in perspective and surround himself with good people.

Peart = Genius
And a great writer, too. His new book "Roadshow" is excellent. It's basically a tour diary that he wrote while travelling their 30th anniversary tour on his motorcycle.
Not to mention that he writes the vast majority of the lyrics for Rush. I still think "Trees" is one of the most intelligently written songs I've ever heard (lyrically speaking).......

Hey! It's no Up for Breakfast! LOL!
Seriously, we should take up a collection and send Ed a copy of Peart's Ghost Rider. The fact that Peart went through so much shit with losing his daughter and wife in the space of one year and still managed to get himself together might inspire Ed.http://www.myspace.com/pennydreadfulnj
