Sam,
For your true enlightenment into the depths of RUSH, please try & find these two books:
1. Mystic Rhythms:The Philosophical Vision of Rush
2. A Simple Kind Mirror: The Lyrical Vision of Rush
Both highly recommended!!!
By the way, I forgot to make amends to you for that time in the bathroom when Marty K. Yelled, "Exit Stage Left" and I cliqued with you.
I was weak and acting out on the drug problem that I didn't have and I was out of control with being powerless over RUSH. I know that I could have made you cop out and go buy the new album (It was Presto by that time). I have not changed from it and am therefore encouraging you further to study Rush's music, lyrics and overall views & perspectives on life.
Because I never wrote my MI on it, it has just got worse & worse for me. I now read philosophy books compulsively searching for insights and wisdoms dating out over the ages. In fact, I actually got a Canadian Pressing of Grace Under Pressue on DVD! (Not available in the states EVER). It was the first time FEAR was ever played as a trilogy (Yep. I said trilogy...).

The silly thing is that some people never will understand the beauty that words & insights can have in our lives, especially when matched with extraordinary music.
The actual meaning of beauty is "what inspires" and it is sad that some people see life everyday and fail to see the inspirations offered in everyday beauty. Well, don't be like the graduates...
DO NOT LIVE TRYING TO FIND WHATS BEST FOR US & RISE & SAVE US FROM OURSELVES...
Those are the people who are possessed by those three demons: IGNORANCE, PREJUDICE & FEAR. They stalk the land in human flesh. (KIDS supporters or any vigilante group for that matter).
