                           The Chicago Shows List
             I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this
                                      
                         Shows of note as of 9/26/96

 RUSH!
 -----
 Forgive me as I fall back into full Rush Geek mode.  The new album, "Test
 For Echo", is out, and tickets for their October 28th show go on sale on
 Sunday.  The album is a big letdown.  The first 2/3rds is midtempo slop,
 along the lines of "The Speed Of Love" from "Counterparts", the low point
 on that otherwise fine record.
 
 The terrible thing about the new record is the song "Virtuality".  Dig:
 
     Net boy, net girl
     Send your signal 'round the world
     Let your fingers walk and talk
     And set you free
 
     Net boy, net girl
     Send your impulse 'round the world
     Put your message in a modem
     And throw it in the Cyber Sea
 
 Oof!  You can be sure that the Rush geeks that infest the Net will be
 quoting it in their sigs for years to come.
 
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE
 -------------------
 Last week's reference was from a sound bite stuck in the middle of "Got a
 Mile, Got a Mile, Got An Inch" by Don Caballero.  Lyric references to songs
 on all-instrumental albums must be tough, because only three people got it
 right.  One was Liz, who won a few weeks ago, and I'd feel bad flipping a
 coin and making one of the other two people lose, so both Adam Altman and
 Chad Wrigley win the not-so-random entry this week.  Send me your addresses.
 
 This week's is easier, and next week's should be a piece of cake.  Send
 your entries to shows@tezcat.com.  Be sure to include your name in the
 entry so I can tell you if you win, as well as band name and song title.
