Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman is good. And I have a soft spot for Cuts Like a Knife as I was in my first year of Uni :old:
When You're Gone as well. Listening to it now, very good :nod:

Rush yes, the Band a mix with Yanks
I hate Rush, though. Way too popular when I was a teenager. And I hated Geddy Lee's voice.

To hear him dismissed as merely a songwriter.... that cannot stand unchallenged. :-(
He also appeared in Miami Vice.

Just one of many examples of how thin the veneer of civilisation is. And what lurks beneath it.
In fairness, Germans have never claimed to be civilised. Not really.
They've been around for a long time, they know it's a con.

They didn't descend into anything, H. They've always been that way, since time immemorial.
