I think they're referring to Alex's daily life. LOL

Alex is quite the character that's for sure. Love the Time Machine intro video where he's real fat and eating the sausage and choking. Just hysterical.

His stage persona in '96 tipped me off. VT tour, and the rant in Houston helped it along, then the Boys In Brazil sealed it. Alex is fucking INSANE. :lol: :lol:

Ah yes! The infamous rants. Loved the shit out of them. Some truly funny stuff. Improvised on the spot. Every night different. Loved it.

Yea. I look at this if I want to laugh every now and then. LOL

Woodlands (8/16), Alex began making bizarre noises and convulsions, and with eyes closed complained about his stomach. He asked Geddy and Neil to play some different kind of music, to which they responded by coming to a complete stop. This obviously caught Alex by surprised as he lost it and started laughing. Regaining his composure, he said that was nice and began making strange noises again, "ooooooooooooohhhhhhhh, ooooooooooooohhhhh, ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh, something's coming, something's coming...oh yeah, something's coming...(silence).....Uh Oh..." Neil's eyebrows raised and a sort of embarrassed smile sort of broke out over his face. Then he looked over at Geddy who was smiling broadly. When Alex said “uh oh,” he and Geddy both started laughing out loud. Next, Alex asked them to play some other kind of different music. Geddy and Neil played a short little riff, which Alex said was nice, but not as nice as the first music. Finally Alex introduced them, with Neil as Flip Wilson, himself as Brad Pitt and Geddy as "That Guy".

That's from the Power Windows site.
