the wisdom in this succinct observation is humid. i loved rush until i discovered indie and punk rock in high school. hearing that particularly melodramatic cut "the trees" (i think that's the title) is still powerfully evocative of my 13-15 years, playing D&D, obsessing about securing issue # 202 of Spiderman, and committing to memory SNL lines. so i'll grant my meaningless benediction upon Rush in the same manner as the astute scott p.

That's my "Tom Sawyer" tribute. They should have collaborated with Gary Numan. Maybe there's still time.

There once was a Canuck named Geddy,Who sang in voice nasal and heady,His pretensions grandplus ideas from Ayn RandCause my gastric juices to eddy.

I did too a lot at the time -- you have inspired me, I am listening to Presto for the first time in who knows how long. (The start to "Show Don't Tell" is a freakin' treble-fest.)

I'm going to publish my suspicion that there will be some musical project to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first album.

Seconding Josh, Geddy's book is a wonderful read. Re-listening to everything but now picturing the studios and cast of characters. He uses the pet nicknames for his band-mates throughout, and they change constantly from year to year!
Hearing Tom Sawyer/Limelight/Spirit on the school bus blasted from a boombox in the back seats where the cool kids sat. Journey sounded futuristic but Rush was on a whole other level. Subdivisions sealed the deal. Classic forever.

I've never listened to an audiobook before today, but currently I'm absolutely loving Geddy Lee reading the story of his life (as well as his forbears) in his own effin' words and voice
