Frank Geddy's Smoke Effects

As some of you may know, I'm a pretty big fan of Rush. I was browsing some pictures of Rush I found on the internet for use in my upcoming "Red Barchetta" DTR music video when I came across this picture. Something almost immediately struck me as peculiar, so I looked at it real close and then I noticed a ghost in the smoke effects above Geddy's head...

This is not a screamer where something is going to pop out at you. But since the website does have Rush music playing in the background, it is a good idea to turn up the speakers- "The Necromancer" really supplies a lot of the ambience necessary for the ghost to appear.

But just look at the smoke in the upper left of the picture for a while while listening to "The Necromancer", and I swear that a ghost will appear. It's like the coolest little atmospheric affect ever...

Since you linked to a jpeg, no music plays, and the picture never changes.

I said that the picture didn't change, but there's a ghost in the smoke above Geddy's head.

Or am I the only one that sees the ghost? I swear there's a ghost there..

The page I linked to doesn't have the music I guess; the picture was a pop-up link from a larger website that had "The Necromancer" playing in the background...

If you have the tune, play it while staring at the picture and you will see a ghost in the smoke affects. It's trippy, but you'll see it. I swear.

Good, I'm not the only one, because it does look exactly like Bob Marley.

(But I don't think Bob Marley ever wore glasses, and I don't see why he'd haunt Rush, but it does look like Bob Marley.)

Here's a picture of Bob Marley. The figure in the smoke looks like Bob Marley in glasses, right? Or am I insane?



And [i]no[/]i, I'm not smoking crack. Crack isn't a hallucinagen, and it is addictive...

This is NOT what we mean when we speak of a 12 step program.
