Mr Milton Banana´s version

The story of this site is a scary story.
Probably the scariest story We´ve ever told.

As you can see by Stan´s version it´s a SCARY story....

If you don´t have your 3D glasses on You´ll only be seeing this in ½ D and that is Stan´s version....

So make sure to put your 3D glasses on and you´ll see both Stan´s and Mr Milton Banana´s versions.

So did You put your 3D glasses on?

Well, let´s read the SCARY stories!

Do you dare?

This was the day before the release of the DVD. I went to my local music store to check if the Rush in Rio DVD had arrived...But no!

- It will arrive tomorrow, they said

So I did what I do best ... begged on my bare knees...
(my wife is familiar with that ;^)

- Please hand me that DVD!

So I promised my music dealer that if I could by two DVD´s, one for me and one for Stan, I promised that I would not to play them until the next day.

FAT CHANCE!

I went home, put the DVD in my player and called Stan...

- Listen to this!

Tick tack tick tack the DVD started...tick tack tick tack ...Brazil...tick tack tick tack ... the crowd shouted:

- RUSH!

Tick tack tick tack ... The band walked on stage...tick tack tick tack ... plugged the gear in and TOM SAWYER started... Stan screamed and I thought
"Sweet Miracle" of life.

I saw Tom Sawyer, Stan listened on the phone... When the song ended I said to Stan:

- Now we have to wait until the weekend.

And we did. We waited. On Saturday Stan came in. I picked him up in the city. At home I had rigged with a computer, a cannon and a wide screen.

When we arrived at home we gave the kids a bucket of popcorn put on a video for them, had a beer and started the DVD.

As you can see by now Stan already had a few beers before I picked him up
;^)

We saw the first part without getting up from the sofa... (well there were two or three occasions when we RAN into the kitchen to get another beer)

After "Natural Science" we took a short break.

I had to pee and Stan had to do some second hand smoking.

I said:

- Hey Stan! The rules are simple as always:
One - Don´t pee on my neighbours lawn.
Two - Don´t throw your cigarette-butts in my pile of wood.
Three - Bring me another beer.

Probably Stan pissed on my neighbour’s lawn, probably Stan threw his butts in my pile of wood, but it didn´t matter...he brought me another beer!

The second part of the show began.
Nebbish arrived.
"One Little Victory"...

All of a sudden our wives came home.

- Are you still sitting here?

But lucky as we were we didn´t hear them!

When the show was over, we looked at each other and started the show all over again. (After a pee and another beer. Probably Stan peed once again on my neighbour´s lawn and threw some more butts in my pile of wood)

When we saw "La Villa Strangiato"  the second time i paused the DVD,  looked at Stan and said:

STAY

TUNED!

- Hey! Let´s register Mr Milton Banana dot com!

Stan looked at me, quite confused and said:

- Why?

- Two reasons I said:

One - An introvert tribute web site to the band.
Two - Our mission should be to have the guys to have a look at it.

- What guys, Stan said.

- The guys in RUSH I told him.

- Why?

- Do you think they will tour again?

- Maybe Stan said!

- If they do! Will they tour in Europe?

- Maybe Stan said.

- Ok if they do We must be there to see them. If we do this crazy web and we will get them to se the site, perhaps we

will get a chance to meet them! Ok?

- Ok, why not.

By that time Stan left the room for  some more second hand smoking and pissing on my neighbour´s lawn.

STAY

TUNED!

I still think this was a conversation that Stan had with my neighbour while he peed on his lawn.

This is a part of the evening that I don´t remember or Stan have made this up!? How knows?

The kids were at home at the wives (both of them) had arrived hours ago!

- Ok, let´s register Mr Milton Banana dot com.

- Rock ´n Roll Stan said.

- Our Wives won´t be too happy,
I guess.

Stan looked at me and said:

- Let me bring you another beer.

We took a couple of beers watched the DVD until the next morning.

In the morning Stan brought me another beer and I said:

- This is the beer of the Witch hunt site.

The following morning I woke up before the others.

Cooked some eggs and made some  breakfast.

I tried to bring Stan back to life!

We all had a pleasant breakfast.

This was the morning of
The Witch Hunt ;^)

Late 2003…

Mr. Milton and Stan Getz got their pre-ordered copies of the DVD “Rush in Rio”…

Mr. Milton, who had access to a lot of “high-tech equipment” had arranged and put up a LARGE wide-screen at his home and had kindly invited Stan Getz for the “premiere” of the new DVD…

A lot of preparations took place prior to the “opening night” of “RUSH in Rio”.

A couple of crates of beer, proper “junk-food”, snacks and a heavy-duty stereo-equipment were purchased and put within reach of two fellow RUSH-ians…

The wives and kids were safely “Driven” to the home of the mother-in-law, the green button of “PLAY” was pressed and the volume turned up to the level of ear-shattering…

…a couple of hours later a “weird conversation” took place between Mr. Milton Banana and Stan Getz…

- Man, I’m totally wasted! What a show!

- Hell yeah! That was like an orgasm!
 

- We’ve got to do something about this! Give me another beer, please…

- I agree! But, what? I’ll have another one, Mr. Milton…

At this time Mr Milton Banana had quite a few beers.... As you can see by his story!

- What do you think about registering “mrmiltonbanana.com”?

- Yeah! Why not…

- Let’s tell the whole world! Let’s do a tribute!

- Yeah! Let’s tell the world about the impact of the music and lyrics of “RUSH” and give me another beer, please…

- Sure Stan! Let us make the site really informative and personal. Another beer, please...

- Hang on. I got to go outside and have a smoke.

- Well…that took some time Stan!

- I had to pee. Give me another beer, please!

- Sure, Stan!

- Yeah, you’re right Mr. Milton! Let’s make it a really personal site, combined with a lot of need-to-know facts about RUSH.

- Absolutely! Complete discography and biographies will be necessary!

Where are you going, Stan?

- I’ll have a smoke and…

- You’ve just been outside for a smoke, Stan…

- Well, that was just about an hour ago! We’ve just listened to the complete album of “Moving Pictures”!

- Sorry about that, Stan! Would you bring us another couple of beers?

- Well…we’ve been “RUSH-ing” for about eight hours and the supply has run dry…

- Oh, no!

- Oh, yes!

- Well, Stan. What are we going to do?

- Well…I have a bottle of “Macallan´s”…

- Lovely, Stan!

- OK! Let’s do some work…

All of a sudden, all Hell broke loose…

The wives and kids returned home!

We were told to “turn the fucking volume down”, and “get to the fucking bed and sober up”!

Well…
