According to Bex: May 2011
http://according-to-bex.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
May 24, 2011. Let the fray begin. And were busy powering their way through MTV's Most Wanted (with VJ Ray "Peace.25g! Cokes at the helm) and innumerable outdoor festivals. And the Rush machine had toured the slightly grungy sounding Counterparts. Album and, a year out of step, was getting set to record the long-awaited, modernistic Test For Echo. Fast forwarding 15 years - fifteen! And Snakes and Arrows. Tour, and with me wondering whether I would ever get to see them live, the third time in eight years ...

According to Bex: One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel
http://according-to-bex.blogspot.com/2011/08/one-day-i-feel-im-ahead-of-wheel.html
August 28, 2011. One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel. Wednesday, August 24, 2011. 1428 Back to idle writing on the train. This time it's the Lightning that's tucked away, but right at the other end of the train. Turns out that the quiet coach is next to the power car - presumably First Class doesn't have to put up with the whoosing, but is also first to crash into anything when southbound. I still think the Mk4 carriages are overly stiffly sprung. 2202 and almost to the hour, The Entertainer has realis...

According to Bex: June 2011
http://according-to-bex.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
June 29, 2011. In bright unbroken beams. Saturday, June 25, 2011. 1225 and Newcastle. At least this time there seems to be a fairly strong forum presence planned, if they hang around for Sunday; I've booked Monday off for travelling home, so I'll be doing that fairly early. It's interesting how you hear the 'whoosh' of the power car as it energises itself before the train moves off. Ok, another 80 miles to go and maybe time for some proper speed! Sunday, June 26, 2011. I wandered around the trade tents a...

According to Bex: In the oldest eyes there's a soul so young
http://according-to-bex.blogspot.com/2011/05/in-oldest-eyes-theres-soul-so-young.html
May 22, 2011. In the oldest eyes there's a soul so young. Plying the airwaves was a short BBC series called My Life in Books. What book changed my life? Is there in fact a predictable answer? I was quite young, no more than ten years old, when I discovered the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. There exists a word for every occasion, save for insufficiency of acquaintance, I might say. This is probably not so different from Peter Roget's outlook when he devised his Thesaurus. My brane still hurts a littl...

According to Bex: All along our days
http://according-to-bex.blogspot.com/2011/08/all-along-our-days.html
August 11, 2011. All along our days. The more short paragraphs, or even shorter one-liners, that I dash off there through such convenience the more it rankles that I'm serving a network in precisely the manner I never intended, and even worse, not spending time here. Down on paper however began several days ago but was prompted today by the desire to put into words some thoughts on one of the loveliest pieces of music I've ever heard. It's not another damn prog thing, is it, I hear you ask?

According to Bex: Use the passions that flow
http://according-to-bex.blogspot.com/2014/06/use-passions-that-flow.html
June 18, 2014. Use the passions that flow. There was still a gaping hole in our plans, however, for with the departure of "Gawain", we had left ourselves nothing with which to replace him! So…, at this juncture we parted ways, Alex, Geddy, Terry and Paul to begin work on some of their overdubs, while I would be imprisoned in my room until I could emerge glowing triumphantly, clutching some wonder of spontaneous genius to my knotted and sweating brow! Ah, no. Did I have a few strong ideas lying around?
