From Wiki: Roll the Bones ...that's a good question. From Wiki: Roll the Bones is the fourteenth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1991. The album also won the 1992 "Juno" for best album cover design.<BR/><BR/>Get this, (also from wiki): The Juno Awards are presented annually to Canadian musical artists and bands to acknowledge their artistic and technical achievements in all aspects of music.<BR/><BR/>So it's a Canadian award only. Perhaps not stiff competition in 1992 considering the other Canadian releases that year:<BR/>Ingenue, k.d. lang<BR/>Harvest Moon, Neil Young <BR/>Smeared, Sloan<BR/>Fully Completely, The Tragically Hip<BR/>Whale Music, Rheostatics<BR/>Gordon, Barenaked Ladies <BR/><BR/>I assume that all of the above album covers were drawn in pencil, and/or had a picture of an animal on it.Potsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17628405727114697845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31270091.post-14656717395930216062008-05-29T10:01:00.000-05:002008-05-29T10:01:00.000-05:00What sort of organization gives awards to Rush for...What sort of organization gives awards to Rush for their album covers?Jimbromskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480579106355009821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31270091.post-42400250151090361272008-05-29T09:38:00.000-05:002008-05-29T09:38:00.000-05:00unfortunate? that might be an overstatement, da cu...unfortunate? that might be an overstatement, da cut. Although, the album cover for Roll the Bones was award winning. So I think the tee from that show with skulls on it beats out my shirt with the bunny rabbits. RUSH. What a downward spiral.

I had this really cool REM t-shirt from the Life's Rich Pageant tour that more or less disintegrated.<BR/><BR/>Actually, back in college, we had some t-shirts made to sell at local Grateful Dead shows. They had 7 "dancing bears" on the front of the shirt. It said "What is better than 7 dancing bears?". On the back of the shirt was a single dancing bear, underneath it said the answer to the question on the front of the shirt "An Eighth."<BR/> <BR/>Get it?<BR/><BR/>I think we sold enough of these shirts to pay for weed, acid, our tickets, and perhaps a veggie burrito or two....<BR/>Ah, the good old days....<BR/><BR/>I also remember Jimbromski buying this Graffix t-shirt around the same era (or maybe it was a few years later). I don't think he ever wore it, kind of like Jumboslice's pink Dan Deacon shirt.sacklunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10865553449094912225noreply@blogger.com
