So I am puttering around here between my little breaks, listening to Rush Radio. Lots of my faves had been running concurrently. "Xanadu" comes on, so I drop what I am doing at the moment, and do something I had not done in ages.

I played some fucking fierce air guitar.

Mind you, when A Farewell to Kings came out in '77, I had figured out all the guitar parts of that song and was pretty good at it. But, my playing has lapsed big time, sad to say. But that did not stop me from suddenly getting lost in the moment, going over to the killer home theater system and cranking about a kilowatt of sound into the room from no less than 19 individual speaker cones and letting loose. Usually sudden blasting of music here at La Casa Mayhem sends Kodi (or Jeff for that matter) scurrying into some far corner of the house. No, instead I turn to see him sitting there in the recliner, his ears pulled down tightly, watching me with a silly dog-smile on his face. I pointed at him in pure rock star fashion. My biggest fan! Yeeeeeaaaaahhh!

Whew.

I now return y'all (and myself) to your regularly scheduled weekday.

I bet you were epic playing your air guitar!

Hugs to you Phil... certainly glad you are feeling better. ;)

I've met far too many people in my life that truly don't appreciate the power of music. It has the ability to do so many things in one's life - from healing emotions to reminding us that we are in fact alive and should relish every moment.

Glad you experienced that great moment!

...now I'm off to listen to Xanadu.

Ah yes, my favorite Rush song.

Although, I prefer the version of 'Xanadu' on "Exit... Stage Left," "A Farewell To Kings" was my first Rush purchase almost 30 years ago. I originally purchased it on cassette. I remember having an erotic dream while listening to it the first time; I have been attracted to fully bearded very furry men ever since. It's great to know that you are feeling better, Phil.

Sounds like great fun - cranking up some *ULTRA-GREAT* tunes and playing air guitar!

I do that sometimes with Captain Beyond, The Who, Black Sabbath, etc!
