[atlantaprog] Re: Rush in Atlanta...

....Gene, do you really think they would've
planned and sceduled the tour out that far in
advance if they thought he was really going to do
some time over this?

Hi Beth,

I really have no idea.  Just passing along the
article.

As to the speculations over his guilt or
innocence, and what punishments would be
appropriate, that is why we have a judicial
system - to let the facts come out.  Both sides
will have their say in court, and I'm sure that
Alex will be well-represented.  

However, I will say this.  If - and it's a big
"if" - he did push someone down a flight a stairs
I won't have a whole lot of sympathy for him. 
You can kill a person that way.  And the fact
that I've been a RUSH fan since Hemispheres
doesn't really change that.

As for the "cops having it in for him", well, I
suppose someone could just as easily speculate
that Alex "had it in" for the cops, especially if
it's determined that he did indeed push someone
down a stairwell.

My personal hope is that he is found innocent. 
But that's really just the part of me that's a
Rush fan who doesn't want to see a musician I
greatly admire go to jail.  On the other hand, if
he's found guilty I think he should pay the
price.  And no, 5 years is not too long for doing
something to someone out of malice that could
result in their death.

Just my take on it, which along with 4 bucks will
get me a new set of guitar strings. ;)

Gene
