It is modelled on Hemingway (perhaps the most well known case of someone
who `lost it'). The specific incident had to do with Hemingway's attempt
to write a letter to the president at the time in response to an
invitation. Hemingway just could not write that letter. His health was
very bad. Eventually he killed himself...

As I remember from reading the liner notes from the _Signals_ concert
program, "Red Sector A" was a VIP area at Cape Canaveral where you
could get a good view of the space shuttle taking off. Also, there is
a theme of "Red" on _Grace Under Pressure_, and since this album
followed after _Signals_, this makes sense, though it is still
speculation on my part.

For interested Rush fans:

Growing up in Western New York State, I had the priviledge of pulling in
TV stations from Toronto over the roof antenna.  Oddly enough, I seem to 
remember one of the Canadian TV Networks (CTV?) airing Exit Stage Left (Video) 
during prime time on several occasions back in 1982 or 1983.  It's too bad
that here in the 1990's in the good 'ol US of A we get stuck with fucking
Garth Brooks or Billy Ray SoreAss  or Jim Bob Hick.ob Hick.

I heard an interesting tidbit on Q107, in Toronto (and I know I am right about
that location!!!).  Where's My Thing is being used by the Canadian Air Force in
instructional video of some sort.  When Alex heard about this he hinted at 
getting a ride in a C-5(?), I would assume it is the Canadian equivalent of the
American F15 or something.  For those of you that don't know Alex does have his
his own pilot's liscence.  Well the story ends with Alex getting his wish.

Followup-To: 

Although I've only been subscribing to this newsgroup for two or three
months, I'm surprised that I haven't heard any discussion about the
album Hemispheres.

I'm curious as to what other Rush fans think of it... Personally, I
consider it one of my favorites. I love the whole thing, particularly
the lyrics. Does anybody know what, if anything, influenced Neil
on such an interesting concept?

Does anybody else think La Villa Strangiato is one of the most
jammin' songs they've ever done? I'd enjoy hearing more "excercises
in self indulgence." I'd also love for Rush to come out with another
album with a theme to it, like 2112, CoS, Hemispheres, etc. What's
that called, anyway? Is that a "concept album"? Why don't they do
them any more?

Have you ever been in a record store and seen the expression on
somebody's face who inadvertently ran across the Hemispheres 
album cover? It's hilarious! For those who don't know what it's
about, it comes across to them as totally bizarre. Sometimes I
entertain myself by putting the Hemispheres album out in front
just to freak out some browsing teeny-bopper.

 WHAT?!?!?!

 An excellent song.  I am a fan of Rush songs with a lot of energy and this
 ones fits that group.  This song is excellent live.  The end is so upbeat 
 and it just blows me away.  It's also obvious (at the concert) that the
 boyz love playing that song too.

 So I will have to disagree, but it's your opinion and this is my opinion.

It seems to me (obligatory IMHO deleted :) that the reason people are so
keen on getting this whole lyrics 'thing' straight is that the words
that *seem* to be sung are the opposite to those printed.

Either way, the song will have a different meaning whether it is
  "still have made a choice" or
  "cannot have made a choice"

The first seems to say, to me, 'Freewill' is a valid choice ....
While the second says, 'Freewill' is NOT a choice.

As you see these are VERY different.
(Which is why people ALWAYS bring it up and are so confused)

Because of this, I don't believe that this thread will stop before we
all come to an agreement.

(I hope I have thought before I posted :)

You're right, the Canadians do use many of the same designations as the US, 
especially on US-built aircraft, such as the CF-18 Hornet.  However, I don't 
know if they use the C-5 Galaxy or not.  Another possibility is that it is a 
Canadian-designed aircraft, in which case it might have a different 
designation system.

Yeah, now that you mention it.  Over the last three months, I've gone from
2112 to Signals, which is current.  I can't say if it follows my moods or
not. Maybe it's a sub-conscious thing.  Such is the effect of a group with 
such a rich catalog

BTW, I had gotten away from listening to Rush in the last few years.  Then
I found this newsgroup and suddenly found myself re-discovering Rush and
was inspired to finally complete my collection with CoS.

	A C-5 is an extremely large U.S. cargo plane. It splits in half at  
about the midpoint to load, and can hold many tanks or other assorted large and  
heavy equipment inside. It has to be raised by jacks to load onto its own  
suspension before take off. Did Alex really fly one (I'd be a little surprised  
unless they just let him hold the stick in the air)?

   Actually, 'sun dogs' are caused by ice crystals, usually found in
high-altitude clouds.  I've seen them dozens of times, but that could
have something to do with the fact that I live in Ohio, where we get
every type of cloud imaginable simply because we always have clouds.
   Oh, and they're only visible when the sun is low in the sky--say no
more than forty degrees above the horizon.  Late afternoon in winter
with a thin cloud cover is the most likely time to see them.
   They are kind of neat, especially when bright, and if you look at them
just right (or through sunglasses), you can see that they look like very
short sun-sized segments of a rainbow.  Diffraction, don't ya know.

  Wait!  So are we going by Neil's lyrics to constitute a bad song.  It must
  be because Countdown has some excellent music to it.  I love listening to 
  that song last when I listen to Signals.  I don't really get into the lyrics
  of much of their songs, but as for music this is one of the better ones on
  the album (IMHO), especially Geddy's bass lines.

  As for the rest of the songs you mentioned, I like all of those.  We must
  be on different wave length

  I particularly don't like "Need Some Love".

  BTW Mike, how do you like the Signals concert video I traded you.  I hope
  you're enjoying it, 'cause I'm really enjoy the Jane's stuff.

I've always thought of this song going against "It is better to have loved and
lost than never to have loved at all."

Yup, that's it. Neil decided to have him change his moral stature. :)

Why, no-one knows...

Well, I for one thought that this had been beaten to death over and 
over and over.  Every once in a while some newbie has to come back
in and ask the same damn questions.  

I thought that last time it was agreed that the Canadian and American
lyric sheets were different.  In Canada they were spelled out just the
way they sound and here(US) they were wrong.  Can we please, please 
drop this now????  

BtW, is there any way we can try to increase the signal:noise ratio here?
