Alright, now we know how Americans feel about us Canadians. Right now, this American wishes he was Canadian. And Joni Mitchell is the best songwriter to have ever lived. (full disclosure, my dad was a close friend of Scott Mitchell. Scott's son, Chuck, married Joni).

Their last album was Let It Be, from May 8, 1970. Except, no, it wasn't. It was released last, but it was recorded prior to Abbey Road (with the exception of some overdubs to I Me Mine).

Daniel Tonks, I think you should ban them and make this a Canadian only forum. Time for us to stop being so polite and proceed with conquering the world. There'd be like 2 of you and a cow on the site. Truth be told, I love my Canadian friends. Oddly enough, I work with quite a few.. But to rub more salt in your wound...the only thing worthwhile that's come out of Canada in the last 30 years is LetterKenny and you never even mention it. And for that, you should be ashamed.

According to Wikipedia, but this is not a direct quote,
After mucking about with their name for a few months early in 1959, they became The Beatles in mid-August 1959.
Their last album was Let It Be, from May 8, 1970.
Yup. Seven years. What a tool. I should've said...They released albums for 7 years. Leave it to nanny nitpicker.

Actual footage of Bieber hunting. :) That's not hunting, that's posing with a rifle in one hand and a dead animal's ear with the other and that rifle looks small enough that it could very well use .22 cal or pellets.

I feel like the sarcasm may have been lost on you. The only thing NOT REAL in that picture is Bieber's head. You have to take into consideration that the cow elk weighs about 500 lbs. Now the gun isn't so small.

Yes, you should have said what you meant to say. This is nitpicking? If I said your IQ was 70 when, in reality, it was 100, I think you'd object. I don't think anybody would say you were nitpicking. This website is populated by a bunch of people who do technical things, and have to get the technical details right. We should do that.

Back to Neil Peart.. Not many people realize that he wrote most of the bands lyrics.. Neil had a fascination with Jazz and Big Band drummers and was always taking lessons from drummers like Freddie Gruber and Peter Erskine while the band was not on tour. If you pay attention to the band you can see and hear his drumming style change over the years. I've always liked Rush but never considered myself a huge fan. It wasn't until their final tour a couple years ago that I finally went to see them. It was an incredible show. They started with their new music and as the show went on each song they played was chronologically a step backwards. The stage layout and backdrop changed with each song/album to mimic the stage that they had on that tour until eventually the final song of the night was Working Man. For Working Man the stage was set up to look like they were playing in a gymnasium with a single combo amp behind Alex Lifeson, a small bass amp behind Geddy Lee, Peart playing a smaller drum set than his usual and a backdrop of a gymnasium wall basketball hoop and all. An homage to their first live show ever which was in a gymnasium at a school.
