If it does end in 2012, I sure hope Rush releases a new album beforehand- I'll die happy.

Damn, if we were just 100 years ahead it could end in 2112. That'd be a coincidence speaking of Rush.
|
it's ok, the album will be a prequel to 2112, and will be their most progressive album. it'll be called "12212012"

It may - it may not. I don't see the point in worrying about it. I'm a fatalist so whatever will be will be and there aint nothing we can do about it!!

I hope we all get to see KC live again. I don't think money is an issue with it, it all depends on the mood Fripp is and if he wants to deal with it all again. We're more likely to see him go solo again rather than in an Crimson incarnation. |
Perhaps I should write Fripp a letter giving him details on the importance of a KC concert.I can't imagine he receives many fan letters involving KC and the apocalypse.Anyhow about the cults,that's quite a worry this surely is going to be a huge day/year on a cults calendar.I hope nothing comes of it.

War isn't the problem in the past few centuries. War has been going on as long as people have been on the face of the earth. The problem is, with nuclear weapons, and maybe more deadly ones in the future, we have powerful enough weapons to possibly end the world.

Apocalyptic predictions went out with Nostradamus. Now they're so overrated.
