>We have all deviated from all other activities, fell in a vortex, and have a turning obsession.

I hope this settles the question.

>I think it was the (most excellent) band, Rush, that had a song on the "Tom Sawyer" album with a line that said "Evryone needs to deviate from the norm".

According to SWMBO, its a guiding principle for me ;-)

>Hi Jim and Chuck,

Rush rocks!! They are by far my favorite band. I have all of their cds and play them a lot. I bought the Moving Pictures CD 4 months before I even bought a CD player! I had worn the grooves of my vinyl copy :)

Circumstances, Xanadu, Where's my Thing?, Countdown, The Big Money, man, there's just not a bad song in their catalog. If you haven't seen them live and get a chance, they put on a fabulous show.

Rockin' stuff!

Mike
