For Immediate Release

April 17th, 2008

 

Rush has announced that two of the tour dates on this year's continuation of the Snakes and Arrows tour will be switched. The New Orleans date scheduled for Saturday, April 19th at the New Orleans Arena will be moved to Sunday, April 20th at the same venue. The Houston date originally scheduled for Sunday, April 20th will be held on Saturday, April 19th at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. The reason: The New Orleans Hornets have clinched their first playoff berth in four years and will play their first playoff game at the New Orleans Arena on Saturday, April 19th, the same night that Rush was scheduled to perform.

 

"You always know that there is a slight possibility that this could happen" says Rush Manager Ray Danniels, "but no one was expecting it to. We have to congratulate the New Orleans Hornets on capturing their first division title in their 20 year franchise history. Concerts are often booked on potential playoff dates using an educated guess at the time, in all our years of touring this is a first time a date has been forced to change. We apologize to any Rush fan who is inconvenienced by this.

Are you kidding?

 

" Here's a pop quiz: How much money has Uncle Sam spent on New Orleans and the Gulf region since Hurricane Katrina ripped the place apart?

 

I'll give you the answer because you'll never guess it. The grand total is $127 billion (including tax relief)."

 

" Perhaps all this money should've been directly deposited in the bank accounts of the 300,000 people living in New Orleans. All divvied up, that $127 billion would come to $425,000 per person!"

BTW, the only people giving when the government sends money somewhere are the taxpayers - not bush or anyone in congress.
