"I have to admit, I was disappointed. The obvious simpatico of The Temples of Syrinx from Rush’s 1976 opus 2112 playing over the credits would have qualified as the greatest moment in film history. Ah, but for missed opportunities.

Terrible ideas aside, there’s actually some honest to goodness parallelism between Rush the band, and Rush the film. Cult-like following. Years of toil, tragedy, triumph and badassery behind the curtain of general public awareness. Stories worth telling. Characters worth portraying. Skill beyond the capability of most mere mortals to comprehend, and those who do, do so worshipfully. A wicked soundtrack. Of course, I’m speaking more here about Formula 1 than the movie, but that too I suspect will be a long, slow burn fueled by fervent fans..."

I was one of the startup writers. Actually, THE startup writer. Then I had a kid and my output dropped off. Then I had another kid, and that was the kaput moment. Now it's just whenever I get kicked in the nuts by inspiration. And frankly, not much this season has really challenged me to an undeniable game of rochambeau. Same goes for my band. And my Alfa. Sigh...

Cool, cool. Small world 'n' stuff.

Yeah—this season of F1 has been poop. Tired of hearing about tires. Poop.
