31- Here is an interesting fact that happened to me and 3 buddies on Treasure Island Beach, Florida in the early 1980’s. It’s up to you if you want to believe it or not but Hand to God it’s true as the day is long. It was the evening that Miller Lite or Budweiser was sponsoring The Worlds Biggest Sandcastle. The Sandcastle was as big as some of the hotels on the beach. There was a band playing that night and I can’t remember their name but they were very good.(Cut to after Sandcastle Lazer show and Music venue) Now my buddies and I were sitting on the beach in a small circle smoking pot, as young teens should when three guys walked up. they were older with long hair. typical hippies back then. They walk up and ask us if we could spare some weed. We said sure and gave them a small handful of buds and they thanked us and moved on. We continued to smoke when one of my friends said “those guys looked like RUSH” We agreed but didn’t think much of it until the next day when we read that RUSH was in town at the same event. I have no proof but if they have good memories I betcha they would remember that night too
32- He’s a massive Stuart Lee fan
