I sit here shocked, not really knowing what to say. Oh, don’t worry, nobody died or anything like that. In the grand scheme of things this isn’t a gigantic tragedy. And yet here I am, still shocked. Mike Portnoy has left Dream Theater. I’m sitting here staring at those words, not really believing that I

Yesterday, as I’ve been mentioning for a while now was the day that Rush played the New York State Fair as part of their Time Machine tour. This was my first time seeing Rush (my previous first time was thwarted by my sister scheduling her wedding for the same day as the concert and refusing

As I mentioned, my most anticipated musical release of the year has arrived in my hands as of last week. And since then I’ve had the time to dig in and digest it a bit, so now it’s time to review. If you’ve missed all of my previous postings on Transatlantic, let me describe the
