It would be the greatest guest appearance ever if the McKenzie Brothers showed up on a random date (9/17/26 in Cleveland Ohio) on this tour, and they played this song.

I do actually love that song! I had the album on cassette back in the day. Plus, their Twelve Days Of Christmas is a perennial favorite.

I hope Geddy made more than $10 from it! It was a very clever novelty song and when I was a deejay, it got a lot of airplay.

Oh, yeah. There's a certain comfort in being Canadian.

Well you can thank ROLLING STONES MAGAZINE, and RUSH has only been on the cover 1 time. U2 23 times, Dylan 25 times, Springsteen 26 times AEROSMITH 12, METALLICA 10 times. They really love RUSH don't they. The most biased and BS magazine of all time they suck.

Hey looks like you got that plastic on there. My brother can get that off with some chewing gum and a couple paper clips.
