Neil Peart vs Karen Carpenter
Simon Dean
Naturally I look up some videos of Karen drumming away. Reckon she could
have given Peart a run for his money?
If Karen Carpenter had joined Rush instead of Peart, would Karen still
be with us?

No, just listening to "Yesterday Once More".
Now Im listening to One Voice by Barry Manilow

Aaaaaand, I shouldn't be surprised that someone who thinks shit tastes good
would be listening to the likes of Manilow.

Not at all, just that she had an amazing voice, but always apparently
seemed to be more at home behind a drum kit, and from the very few
youtube clips, seems to have been quite an accomplished drummer with
some Jazzy elements, Richard Carpenter once quoted as saying she used to
play complicated drum lines with exotic signatures.
True, the Carpenters stuff didn't seem to allow for much of that, but
according to WIKI, she received praise from Buddy Rich amongst others.
Of course she was an anorexic, and I read often that quite often,
because they feel they have no control in their life, the only thing
people with eating disorders can control is their food. So if things had
been different (Carpenter joining Rush instead of Peart therefore - just
as an amusing idea), perhaps Karen would have still been with us and
provided great backing vocals.
Just a thought.

Peart's book sez that Jim Keltner, IIRC, did most of the studio work.

What does he do in his basement?

Imprisons and molests Iwerks, for about 2 years now.
Simon Dean
What did he do to deserve such treatment?
The Professor
Yeah, the neighbors are starting to wonder about the noise.

Is Toy Soldiers by Martika good?
You're the Voice by Alan Parsons?
Stay by Lisa Loeb?
Sara by Starship?

Who - Prof or Iwerks?
Simon Dean
Prof obviously. Think it'd be quite nice to be on the receiving end of
Profs molestation.
You know there's a South Park episode called "Wacky Molestation Adventure".
I just kept thinking "WTF is a Mole Station? A home for moles?"

It will also make Rob want to show you his ass.
It's win-win.
