[James Warren]

In Philadelphia in August of 1993, at the Oils show between the first 
and second song, Peter went off about how absurd Rush is, along with 
the fact that he had a new show on television. Peter also encouraged us 
to throw our tv sets away.

After the show, I got to speak to Peter, and he claimed that the Oils 
and Rush were about as far opposite in worldview as you could possibly 
be.

p.s. Although I don't listen to Rush, I do know that for years, he has 
used that "back to Ohio" Pretenders song as background music.
