Nah, it's good. Peart has gone through worse than physical pain.

Heard "Tom Sawyer" on the radio yesterday. It was Two-for-Tuesday, so I readied myself for "Freewill" or "Spirit of Radio" or "Subdivisions," but then they played "Time Stand Still!" I'm not sure I've ever heard that on the radio before, it was awesome.

Pretty much was all over classic rock radio in 1987/88 (along with "Force Ten") -- but that's time and place for you.

yeah I feel like Time Stand Still is probably the one song outside of Tom Sawyer that I ever heard on classic rock radio with any regularity (maybe Big Money at the time it came out too). Great song.

My earliest memory of rush was limelight on the radio in the garage while my dad was doing something mechanical and that definitely had to be KQRS so limelight must have been on classic rock radio at least once
― valet doberman (Jon not Jon), Wednesday, 16 January 2019 23:29 (five years ago) link
The ones I hear the most on classic rock radio are "Tom Sawyer," "Freewill," "Spirit," "Limelight," "Subdivisions" and "Red Barchetta." Really nothing from "Grace Under Pressure" on, bar at the time the occasional new song from new album promotion.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 17 January 2019 04:17 (five years ago) link
Rush must have been huge in Houston, because in addition to the tracks Josh named we also got "Working Man", "Fly By Night", "Closer To The Heart" and "New World Man" on the reg. All of them at least once a day, putting them up there with Zep, the Stones, and the Eagles in terms of exposure.

xxp lol i think the question was about time stand still, limelight without a doubt is being played on the classic rock radio station in heaven
― j., Thursday, 17 January 2019 05:02 (five years ago) link
Yeah, I hear all those songs, to some degree. But "Time Stand Still" I file under "the occasional new song from new album promotion." I was just too young to remember it in the radio in Philly, but I sure heard "Show Don't Tell," "Dreamline," Animate," at least (or only) during the album cycle. But "Time Stand Still" is such a great song, I'm surprised I'd never heard it on the radio before the other day.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 17 January 2019 12:45 (five years ago) link
Oh, maybe not surprising but "Show Don't Tell", "Dreamline", "Ghost of a Chance", "Big Money" all get rotation in Canada, and "In the Mood" too in addition to the early ones that C. Grisso lists. I remember hearing "Manhattan Project" during a long drive last summer.

It's really dumb and obvious, but I always wondered why they quoted the "1812 Overture" in the "2112" "Overture" and for the first time this morning I suddenly realized, well, duh.

If the sound quality wasn't so cheesy I would totally use a sample of the drums from the first uh... "verse"? (~53s)
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 25 June 2019 15:51 (four years ago) link
I was just listening to "Born To Run" and realized "Red Barchetta" is basically a futuristic take on the Bruce Springsteen automobile romance. The middle sections of the two songs are weirdly similar, check out those modulating IV-I chord patterns behind "Beyond the palace, hemi-powered drones" and "Well weathered leather, hot metal and oil". Those climbing chords give the impression of cars shifting gears, revving up to the big instrumental sections, and then racing to the end in the final verses.

Well, shit.
Canadian rock drummer Neil Peart dead at 67. Peart, primary lyricist for Rush, was known for his technical proficiency, and for weaving jazz and big band patterns with a hard rock style. Publicist says Peart died in California January 7. Background: https://t.co/r0QKiYdpdu— CBC News Alerts (@CBCAlerts) January 10, 2020

For all his drumming proficiency, Peart should be remembered at least as much for his lyrics. There are some clunkers and I have issues with some of the Ayn Rand stuff but at their best, they were comfort for a generation of boys who didn’t fit in with social norms. RIP

Was just talking about Rush in the blind spots thread - I was never a huge fan of the records, but seeing them live in 2011 and especially 2013 (the tour where they had a string section) was incredible.
