Rush guitarist believes arrest was 'unfair'

NAPLES, Florida (AP) --The lead guitarist for the rock band Rush said his
arrest at a New Year's Eve party was unfair.

Alex Zivojinovich -- known on stage as Alex Lifeson -- was arrested for what
police described as drunken, violent behavior at the Naples Ritz-Carlton hotel.
He faces six charges, including four felonies, the most serious of which
carries a maximum sentence of 30 years.

"This gives new meaning to dinner at the Ritz," Zivojinovich, 50, said as he
left jail Friday on $14,500 bond, wearing the same black suit he wore to the
New Year's Eve bash.

Zivojinovich said he didn't believe his arrest was fair.

"They didn't like the way we were dancing, apparently," he said.

Also arrested were his son Justin Zivojinovich, 33, and his son's wife,
Michelle Zivojinovich, 30.

According to authorities, the scuffle began when Justin Zivojinovich refused to
leave the stage where the house band was performing. His father spat blood on a
deputy's face and pushed a deputy down a hotel stairwell during the struggle,
police said.

Justin Zivojinovich disputed that account and said deputies broke his father's
nose.

Charges against Alex Zivojinovich include aggravated battery on a law
enforcement officer, resisting an officer with violence, and disorderly
intoxication.

Arraignment is set for January 26.

Rush's hits include "Tom Sawyer," "Limelight" and "The Spirit of Radio."

Alex's real last name wasn't a huge secret. It's a Croatian (or Serbian?)
name which means "son of life"--hence, his Anglicized name, Lifeson.

I like the guy, I just never thought he was the stellar guitarist
people made him out to be. Peart is the same way. He's obviously
good, but some people talk about him as though he's the best drummer
ever to play.

Do you even listen to their music? Nobody compares to Lifeson or
Peart. They're the best in the biz. Now go back to your NWA and 50
cent
