Talk:Permanent Waves

message: Someone should probably add a mention about the fact that "Dewey Defeats Truman" is whited out on the album cover, apparently after the Tribune refused to give permission for the title to appear.  If anyone has any juicy details (with citations) to add, that would be excellent. Dave (talk) 23:46, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  link here. And some early covers DID have the headline, making them collectible, so it's relevant, not trivia.  https://www.discogs.com/master/7540-Rush-Permanent-Waves
Also, per the "Visions" biography, the sign "PEART" was a Pearl Beer sign, in addition to the changed Coca Cola sign.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.149.98.113 (talk) 01:47, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

message: The waving man on the cover IS Neil Peart. I can prove it.
:* Go to http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/Wallpaper.htm
:* Click on "A Farewell To Kings through Exit...Stage Left"
:* In the section headed "Permanent Waves", hover over the words, "a member of Rush is pictured on the cover."
:* Lo and Behold! the name of the file is PeWcoverneil.jpg. This ascertains that the figure in the picture is indeed Neil Peart.
Any challenge there?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.225.20.100 (talk) 01:39, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I challenge this as the official Rush website under the entry for Permanent Waves (http://www.rush.com/albums/permanent-waves/) states "The waving man in the background of the album cover is actually Hugh Syme, the band’s long time design collaborator."  Also, the above link (http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/Wallpaper.htm) appears to be dead.68.48.131.203 (talk) 02:19, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

message: I don't know why, but people keep reverting the songwriter information, telling Geddy Lee wrote the lyrics to Different Strings. However, I have the remastered CD edition of Permanent Waves and the booklet explicitly states Neil Peart wrote these lyrics. I tried to find a reliable source stating Lee wrote these lyrics, but I haven't found any, so I'm clueless why anybody would include this in the songwriter information. Next time this information will be (in my opinion incorrectly) reverted, it would be appreciated if a source were to be added. Pwh1992 (talk) 15:16, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The remastered version was a misprint. The original, which is right in front of me, clearly states that the lyrics were written by Lee. See  Wisdom89 (T / C) 15:26, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, that does sound like a reliable source. Thanks for proving me wrong, I'm glad to know the submitted songwriter information is indeed correct. Pwh1992 (talk) 10:32, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

message: The article's assertion that "Entre Nous" is similar in style to "Freewill" left me scratching my head. I personally don't see "Entres Nous" as being similar in style to "Freewill". In any case, this is a subjective judgement that might be appropriate in album review but is not appropriate in an encyclopedic entry which should just stick to the facts. I am removing it.
