Yeah actually I just read about that on wiki. I use to use a penny because I like the metal tinge or twang it made.

Thank you, sir, again it would seem.

Muchisimas gracias por todo with a side of Rio Grande Mud.

Did you know Billy Gibbons is known for using a Mexican Peso ooin as a guitar pick?

True Story:
I did sound for a party at the very theater where that scene was shot (it hadn't been used for anything in years and was spooky and dilapidated like the Addams family mansion). Ms. Del Rio showed up and did a surprise reprise of that song.

This is an easter egg from the "Rush in Rio" DVD. If you've got the DVD:

Put in disc 2 of the Rush in Rio DVD
Select O Baterista. You can view the entire clip or return to the menu after it starts.
When you return to the menu, select YYZ
Upon returning to the menu, select YYZ again
After that, select O Baterista
When you return to the menu, Anthem 1975 will appear and you'll be able to watch a video of Rush playing Anthem from back in 1975.

Reason for this: O Baterista is video clip #2, and YYZ is clip #1. Viewing them in the order above, you get 2112.


There is also a hidden "Bytor and the Snow Dog" animated short:
1- Insert disc two
2- Select Boys in Brazil from main menu
3- When you get to the 26:40 mark of the film, push enter on your remote and the Bytor cartoon will begin. Enjoy.

From youtube:

"Here is the roster of the Ebisu Muscats: Aika Ando, Sora Aoi, Yuma Asami, Megu Fujiura, Minori Hatsune, Kasumi Kaho, Risa Kasumi, Ena Kawamura, Rika Kawamura, Erika Kirihara, Jessica Kizaki, KONAN, Mihiro Taniguchi, Miyu Misaki, Airi Nagasaki, Shou Nishino, Asami Ogawa, Haruka Ogura, Tina Yuzuki/Rio, Rin Sakuragi, Kokomi Sakura, Ai Sayama, Kaera Uehara, Manami Yamaguchi, and Akiho Yoshizawa."

And now for an old sift of the Governator in Rio:

hmm, i wonder if they can take away Rio's nomination and give it to another city

Indeed. Isn't it interesting that this is how bad things are in Rio, and the majority of the International Olympic Committee would still prefer to go to Rio over Chicago??


>> ^oinkinstein:
hahaha see guys? much better pick then chicago!

Horrible. But until they end Drug Prohibition they'll be massive profits for the scum to make and the war will continue.

Even if 30% of Rio became coke addicts, how could that be more anarchic/worse than this?

Don't forget to upvote your own videos.

Apparently the buses were burned down in another part of town in a concerted effort to divert police while the criminals responsible for shooting down the chopper escaped.

Rio de Notchicago.

Please correct the title, it's "Janeiro", not "Janiero"


thank you for pointing that out, I can't believe I did that...wasn't feeling good yesterday at all

I can't believe Rio won. I'm happy about it, but I can't imagine how they're gonna' make the city capable of hosting the Olympic games in 7 years.

They hung a sign up in out town
"if you live it up, you won't
live it down"
So, she left Monte Rio, son
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
With charcoal eyes and Monroe hips
She went and took that California trip
Well, the moon was gold, her
Hair like wind
She said don't look back just
Come on Jim
(Chorus)
Oh you got to
Hold on, Hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
You gotta hold on
Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
And a ring made from a spoon
Everyone is looking for someone to blame
But you share my bed, you share my name
Well, go ahead and call the cops
You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops
She said baby, I still love you
Sometimes there's nothin left to do
Oh you got to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you got to
Just hold on.

Well, God bless your crooked little heart St. Louis got the best of me
I miss your broken-china voice
How I wish you were still here with me
Well, you build it up, you wreck it down
You burn your mansion to the ground
When there's nothing left to keep you here, when
You're falling behind in this
Big blue world
Oh you go to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
You got to hold on
Down by the Riverside motel,
It's 10 below and falling
By a 99 cent store she closed her eyes
And started swaying
But it's so hard to dance that way
When it's cold and there's no music
Well your old hometown is so far away
But, inside your head there's a record
That's playing, a song called
Hold on, hold on
You really got to hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
And just hold on.
