STEWART COPELAND

If any fo you Rush-appreciative Nutters are interested, there is a cool photo on Neil Peart's 2011 Photo/travelogue "Far and Away: A Prize Every Time". It's a pic showing Neil's stated stack of reading material for February 2010, on page 235. And 3rd from the bottom is - "Strange Things Happen" by StewartHimself!
Brian and I went to see the theatrical showing of Rush's Time Machine Tour, the Cleveland show (fantastic!!!) last Thursday, so this photo was a nice bonus to Peart's newest book-a little "bump" from one great drummer to another possibly .

They're buddies, although Stewart has joked about hiring a hit squad because people are always saying "You're my second favorite drummer next to Neil Peart!"

Now, if we could just somehow-or maybe Stewart & Neil could arrange-manage to have Geddy and Sting become buddies.....maybe some some of that slightly goofy workmanlike modesty of Mr. Lee's would influence His Stingness........nah, never work!
Hit squad. Like a musical hit squad...?..... couldn't restst....

How about a "double trio" (a la King Crimson with Bruford/MAstelotto; Levin/Gunn; Frip/Belew) with Copeland/Peart; Sting/Lee; Summers/Lifeson !

NOW you are talking serius fun! And Tony Levin was lots of fun at the Belew/Levin show we went to last month!!

There would be no greater (wet) dream for me. Holy shazzbot that would be an amazing dichomtomy of styles on stage!

Belew was arguably the best act we saw at Moogfest this year. It's amazing how many licks other guitarists have flat-out stolen from him.

(Wish he'd play more local gigs. Sigh.)

I'd pay good money to see that lineup...
