Comments on: Rush - Chemistry http://www.joncollins.net/wordpress Surviving in a connected world Sat, 22 Nov 2008 09:25:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Mike http://www.joncollins.net/wordpress/books/rush-chemistry/#comment-956 Mike Thu, 16 Mar 2006 20:21:44 +0000 http://www.joncollins.net/wordpress/books/rush-chemistry/#comment-956 The depth of this book does exceed that of the other Rush bios available. There are only minor problems that I have, not least is the outrageous over-usage of the phrase "not least". Please edit most of these out of future additions. Seriously, this phrase might appear dozens to hundreds of times in the book. Please. It went from sickly amusing to a bit-more-than-mildly irritating by the time I made it throught the book. Give your editor a rap on the knuckles with a ruler for me! The depth of this book does exceed that of the other Rush bios available.

The "Signals get lost" thing was a play on words, by the way ;-) No probs - thanks for the feedback! The “Signals get lost” thing was a play on words, by the way ;-)

This book NEEDED to be edited by a Canadian Rush fan as I am only 100 pages in and I am amzed at the amount of mistakes I have noticed thus far. For instance, Fernie, British Columbia is significantly EAST of Vancouver (It was said to be NORTH of Van). I realize this is nitpicking (but still annoying). Here's my beef - The lyric from Vital Signs is "Signals get CROSSED" (the book spends an enormous amount of time using "Signals get LOST") and if you Mr. Collins were a true fan, you would have known that. It's difficult to see the little things get ignored and I would suggest before the book actually gets released in Canada that you go back and edit out the mistakes. It just takes credibility away from the source. P.S. It's Steve Shutt, not Schutt. Sorry to be so critical. I have to express disappointment.

I enjoyed the book immensely and have re-read it.I like the clever "personology" section and background stuff from the likes of Ira Blacker and Ray Daniels.I've been a Rush fanatic since 1975. Hope the Mike Oldfield book is as successful. Good luck Jon,you deserve it.
