Show detail Hide detail

TRAILER PARK BOYS is a short comedic production shot in a faux-documentary style. The show follows the lives of its two main characters, Ricky and Julian, in their lives at the Sunnyvale Trailer Park. In this episode Bubbles is beside himself with excitement when he hears that the legendary Canadian rock band RUSH will be playing a concert in town. RUSH is Bubbles's favourite rock band, and Alex Lifeson is his favourite guitar player. He asks Ricky to hold his spot in the box office line-up while Bubbles goes to the vet with his sick cat. Julian sees the concert as a great opportunity to make some cash selling dope, with the proceeds going toward paying for the cruise ("Let's set jail; we're not going to jail.") Meanwhile, back at the park, Mr. Lahey and Randy's plans to go camping are thwarted when Trailer Park owner Barbara Lahey finds out that the garbage hasn't been properly sorted for recycling. Mr. Lahey blames Ricky, vows revenge and shows up at the box office. Using Randy to divert Ricky's attention, Mr. Lahey sneaks into the line-up and buys up all of the remaining RUSH tickets. When Bubbles arrives from the vet, he is devastated to learn he has no ticket to the concert. But, thanks to a local radio station promotion, he has one more shot at it. The first caller to answer the question: "What is Alex Lifeson's real last name?" will win the right to be Alex's guitar tech. Bubbles knows the answer; he knows everything about RUSH. Unfortunately, he blurts it out in front of Lahey and Randy, who are the first to call in. Randy wins the contest to be Alex's guitar tech. Bubbles is completely distraught. But Ricky comes up with his own plan to make amends. He goes to the hotel where Alex is staying, kidnaps him and drives him back to the park. Julian can't believe it - even for Ricky, this defies the bounds of stupidity. He talks Alex into not pressing charges if Julian gets him back to his hotel unharmed. Julian hears that Cory and Trevor have a found a way into the concert via the sewers. Inside, Randy and Mr. Lahey catch the Boys and threaten to have them forcibly removed. But Julian convinces Alex that Bubbles should be Alex's guitar tech, not Randy. Hearing Bubbles's impassioned plea, Alex agrees. In a scene taped during the actual RUSH concert at Toronto's Air Canada Centre, Bubbles and Alex Lifeson unite on stage in front of 15,000 screaming fans. After the concert, Alex drives the Boys back to the park, where Alex and Bubbles play an acoustic version of the band's classic anthem, Closer To The Heart. <23mn 25s>
