I would be all-in! here is some Rush artwork:

RUSHCOLLAGE.jpg

Begin the day with a friendly voice,
A companion unobtrusive
Plays that song that's so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood.

Off on your way, hit the open road,
There is magic at your fingers
For the Spirit ever lingers,
Undemanding contact in your happy solitude.

Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antenna bristle with the energy
Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price, it's almost free

All this machinery making modern music
Can still be open-hearted.
Not so coldly charted, it's really just a question
Of your honesty, yeah, your honesty.

One likes to believe in the freedom of music,
But glittering prizes and endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity.

For the words of the prophets were written on the studio wall,
Concert hall
And echoes with the sounds of salesmen. Of salesmen. Of salesmen.

One question: How can that not bring a smile to your face?

I remember when AC/DC was the rumor. There were a lot of haters there, too. Build a great pin and people will buy it.

From Wikipedia:

"The final lines of the song ("For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall.../Concert hall/And echoes with the sounds of salesmen") are an allusion to the famous final lyrics from the Simon and Garfunkel classic "The Sound of Silence": "...the words of the prophets/Are written on the subway walls/And tenement halls/And whispered in the sounds of silence."

Rush talked about this from day one. It was a tribute.

Rush is in 3rd place all-time behind the Beatles and Rolling Stones for consecutive gold and platinum albums by a band. That's 41 consecutive gold and platinum albums. Metallica had 11. AC/DC had 14. Rush has some of the most rabid fans in the world. Rush songs have over 2 Billion Youtube views. Rush has 2 million Facebook fans.

Stern or JJP would sell a lot of games. If the art, layout and rules are great, pinball players will buy it. Look at your collection. Would you really be excited about Congo, LAH, Cyclone, CV, WOZ, etc...purely as a theme. We all have games that are fun to play even if the theme doesn't knock our socks off.

I will take 2 LE's, please.

That is fact. Over 100 million views for Tom Sawyer alone in various versions worldwide.
