Yeah, and if you put ``Analog Kid'' and ``Digital Man'' alongside
``Subdivisions'', you might see the DM as a member of the
'rat race' mentioned in ``Subdivisions'' (''Lose the
race to rats..'' -- that's another of those reformulated
common phrases that somebody was collecting the other day).

I always got the impression that analog in this context really meant the
good old days: when everything blended together into some sort of holistic
synergy;  you remember what it was like in childhood and the kind of
energy and dreams you used to have, all blended together, but the problem
is the memory you have on tape tends to fade a bit over time.  Very 
nostalgic to be sure.
  Then maturity hits, and suddenly life is crystalline, regimented. The
present is a whole lot clearer, and perhaps a bit stale too, even though
your memories of a more recent age or even the experience of the present
is a hell of a lot sharper.  Digital man suddenly realizes he's got
to kick his life into gear if he hope to capture anything at all
approaching his analog childhood. Thus the date with fate in a black
sedan, and the longing for lover's wings to fly on to a tropic isle
of Avalon.

BTW the last par kinda confused me. Avalon is the mystic kingdom isel
of Arthurian times, right? What the hell is it doing in the tropics?
Just a minor nit, along with my 0.02 clams.

I _know_ that the people are/were in agony in East Europe. But, that is

sore issue. He made himself a hypocrite in my eyes. The other lyric that
I feel the same way about is A Farewell To Kings. Lines such as "Can't

childish IMO. That sort of simple stuff appeals to the lowest common

You _can_ criticize the society, but if you do, you must be clever. Neil
did his job very well on Territories, although "don't feed the people

One shouldn't merely ask questions and point a finger when criticizing

It is *OBVIOUS* that the lyrics as sung in ESL are "If you choose not
to decide, you still have made a choice."  The lyrics at the rush FTP
site show the original lyrics to be "If you choose not to decide, you
still haven't made a choice."  But this doesn't fit the meter of the
verse, in which odd syllables are accented.  It doesn't make sense to
have the "nt" of "haven't" accented and then NOT accent the word
"choice" which is *THE* central theme of the song.  

That "nt" would also change the entire meaning of the chorus.  The
words as sung in ESL accentuate the fact that *EVERYTHING* you do is
the product of a free will even if you don't believe it yourself.
Having that "haven't" thrown in the middle of the chorus would seem to
indicate that you have to make a conscious decision to make decisions
before any decisions are made ...

The problem is, there's so much technical digital stuff in the show, that 
there's little room for improvisation. Perhaps now that Rush are getting 
back to that "organic" sound, we'll see more variations.
  I for one would like to hear, instead of Geddy's overdubbed harmonies, 
Alex actually singing back-up vocals a bit more. And what I wouldn't give 
to have been able to see the show back in the _Exit...Stage Left_ era 
when there was a choir singing along to "Closer to the Heart"... 
  A few more improvisational guitar or keyboard or anything solos would 
be nice, too.
  But what do I know - I've only seen them once, and that was the _Roll 
the Bones_ tour! :-)

Yeah, noticed it too.  Don't know what it has to do with Rush, other than
various Rand-references...

Notice the emphasis on removing leach-like (second-hander) tendencies
in the show:  bottles, pacifiers, etc.  Plus the scene where Maggie 
crawls up into the vent shaft to get the keys definitely reminds me
of the _very_similar_scene_ in Sneakers, the new "hacker" movie that
just came out.

Why?  Just because a person's musical tastes are diverse, it doesn't mean
that they can't be a "true Rush fan".  What, do you think Rush fans live on
Rush alone?  I did for awhile, but there's more to music than Rush, no matter
how good they may be.
I'm not a Madonna fan, but everyone's entitled to listen to whatever they
wish.  Now, if all they've ever heard of Rush was RTB, then I'd agree that
they're no really big fans of Rush.  But what's wrong with someone liking
Rush, and having all of their albums, *and* listening to Madonna?  Your
way of thinking is exactly why Rush fans are viewed in such a negative light
IMHO.

I disagree.  "I Think I'm Going Bald" is about something a lot of men go
through in their late 20's to late 30's if they aren't so lucky.  Sure,
the song has a bit of fun with it, but it can be considered a serious

One thing I can say about his playing, being a drummer myself, is he has some
incredible control of his right hand!  I can play most of Red Barchetta and
Tom Sawyer, but I am still astounded that the rhythm he uses on the ride cymbal
on Red Barchetta hasn't been more popular elsewhere.  Neil has used it in more
than one place--actually, quite often he has used the same or similar half roll
rhythms on cymbals--but I don't think I've really ever heard anyone else yet
develop a distinct style with cymbals, much less use similar techniques.  It's
easy enough to hear a Van Halen song and know who it is from the amount of high
end cymbals ringing, trademark of Alex Van Halen, and it's pretty easy to tell
that it's Zepplin just from the Hammer of the Gods mashing the cymbals to a
molten mass, but still Neil's playing is the most identifiable out of any I
can think of.  Simply fantastic, musically.  Sorry if this seems like a gushing
post of praise, but sometimes the speed and accuracy, especially live in concertwhere her makes everything sound just like the album or better, are overpoweringto a welcome extreme.

I posted an excerpt from that a while back and noted that I'd never heard of
the author, John Swenson. It turns out he did an article for _Rolling Stone_
on 26 July 1980 about _Permanent Waves_. It's available at syrinx.
 
They got some guy from a Rush-hostile magazine to write the liner notes for
_Chronicles_. He uses some of the same quotes, too.
