making the news in a bad way. I loved the music when I was growing up. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A48719-2004Jan2.html Rush Guitarist in New Year's Eve Fight The Associated Press Friday, January 2, 2004; 3:05 AM NAPLES, Fla. - The lead guitarist for the rock band Rush faces criminal charges after a New Year's Eve fight with sheriff's deputies. Alex Zivojinovich, better known by his stage name Alex Lifeson, was arrested for what deputies described as drunken, violent behavior at the Naples Ritz-Carlton hotel. Deputies said they used a stun gun on Zivojinovich, 50, who faces six charges that include aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer with violence, and disorderly intoxication.
Oh my God! I'm in complete shock over this one! This is my favorite band and favorite guitarist. They have a tour coming up this year. I wonder what the hell happened? Sounds like he just became a beligerent drunk. Uh...by the way...your thread title sucks. I thought he crashed a plane or something(as he is a pilot). Way to raise some eyebrows with a misleading thread title.
Sounds like there is more to this story: http://www.naplesnews.com/npdn/news/article/0,2071,NPDN_14940_2547066,00.html Sounds like the police are were being a bunch of New Year's party poopers.
Alex: "But officer! It's a party! Happy New Year, man!" Officer: "Conform or be cast out." (ZZZZzzaap)
"Attention, all party-goers of the Solar Federation. Attention all party-goers of the Solar Federation. We have assumed control. We have assumed control. We have assumed control."
If only he had been in his red Barchetta and the cops in their gleaming allow air car, two lanes wide. Then he could have lost them at the one lane bridge. Of course, I'm not sure he could have navigated the one lane bridge in his condition.
"What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if talks like and ordinary guy." "I know him, and he does." "Then your my fact-checkin' cuz."
The cops were just trying to roll the bones of a new world man. If Alex had some freewill and would have hidden behind the trees, he could have shot them a bit of the YYZ, he had purchased in his subdivision with his big money. I hear his court date is in 2112. Alex was last seen driving his Red Barchetta to the hospital to have his vital signs checked becuase he had gotten hit very closer to the heart. It sucks to be in the Limelight and have all this happen when deep down your just a working man
Alex video showing his release. Some guy holding a "Free Alex" sign up...lol. Alex and his bloody tux look. http://www.nbc-2.com/newsvideoplayer.asp?videonum=5605648&dw=
He should have run to the hills so the trooper couldn't catch him. I'm sure the trooper was saying, "Holy Smoke, this guy looks like some Drifter or something. I am afraid to shoot strangers, but the evil that men do could make him unpredictable. I wish the clairvoyant was here to tell me what to do!" Afterwards, I'm sure Lifeson looked back on his wasted years and yearned for sanctuary! Ha ha! ....oh ****, wrong band. sorry.
I believe ROCKSS could have gotten Bytor and the Snowdog into it, but he would have had to made up that part. Clearly, he was unwilling to do that.
he could TraJ..it just requires creativity.. nice job thadeus...a mention of Charlotte the Harlot would have tipped it right off... nice to see another IM fan...they are in short supply around here..
