[@utubeiswatchingme]

2/1? What note is represented by the "1", here? A whole note, maybe? If there are 2 beats per measure, why would the whole note be chosen to represent one beat if a "whole" note is typically good for a "whole" measure. I don't believe I've ever seen a 2/1 time signature. There are better ways to denote whatever "2/1" is trying to accomplish.

Good? Modesty shows through so much, especially when one is "great" and not just "good" - terms of the level of musicianship, performance, presence, and...percussion. Damn! The big world of rock-n-roll will never be the same without the likes of The Professor...and the band Rush will probably never "be" again. Too bad - three of the very best at what they did, individually and as a group.

"Possibly" leaves room for debate.

[@charlieposey5078]

The first time I heard "La Villa Strangiato" I heard hints of the signature sounds of over a dozen guitarists that are better known to the mainstream world than Alex, most of whom made it big after "Hemispheres" was released. It's easy to forget just how long Rush's recording career is. These guys were contemporaries of everyone from Led Zeppelin to The Foo Fighters. Rock fans follow the big names.

Telling of the Lying Times and Orwellian strangeness of today, there's Witch Hunt: The night is black without a moon, the air is thick and still The vigilantes gather on the lonely torchlit hill Features distorted in the flickering light, faces are twisted and grotesque Silent and stern in the sweltering night, the mob moves like demons possessed Quiet in conscience, calm in their right, confident their ways are best Oh-oh-oh No The righteous rise with burning eyes of hatred and ill will Madmen fed on fear and lies, to beat and burn and kill They say there are strangers who threaten us, our immigrants and infidels They say there is strangeness too dangerous in our theaters and bookstore shelves Those who know what's best for us must rise and save us from ourselves Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand Ignorance and prejudice and fear walk hand in hand

[@christophersims7060]

I just watched part of Geddy's book and an interview about what this song is really about. I can understand that when you've made it in the world, there are fleas and ticks just dieing to try and latch on to what you've worked so hard for, for your own reasons. It might sound selfish to some, but I could completely understand withdrawing from everything and everyone, not knowing who you could actually trust as your friends and who were just vermin. And it is good to know who has your back, usually the people that saw your raw talent and helped you just so could accomplish your dream. Not actually taking from you, just sharing in the moments. Those are the friends until the end. I believe Neil was lucky to have that friendship.

I came to a busy intersection one sunny afternoon and couldn’t understand why nobody was going on the green light…..? “Awe, man! They all must be jamming to my killer jams,” I thought as I slowly pulled into the intersection…. Right then, a HUGE fire engine 🚒 passed maybe 6 inches in front of my front bumper.

[@butternutcrunch]

In 1989, my best friend, a hardcore RUSH fan, took me to see them live in Oklahoma City. During the concert I went from casual listener to instant fan. After the show was over I insisted (against my friends wishes) that we follow the band to their hotel to meet them. We did and while Geddy Lee was politely signing my friends tour book I saw Neil Peart leap out of the limo and literally sprint past all the fans gathered by the front door. He was gone in a flash to calls of his name. I thought to myself at the time "What a jerk!". Years passed and I ended up working as a dj at a classic rock radio station. For the first time in my life I actually listened closely to the words of Limelight and recalled my friend telling me that Neil wrote all the lyrics for the band. It suddenly clicked in my mind. He wasn't a jerk at all. He was living his own words. "I have no heart to lie. I can't pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend." Respect. Rest in peace Neil. The greatest drummer ever.

That's funny haha, yes still 3 people. As far as that goes. I have heard from some musicians that less is more. Especially when it comes to what sounds are coming through. One reason is because you can hear the instruments more clearly. And it's allows the listener to keep track. I think that's somewhat accurate. I myself like the idea of only dealing with two other people. One may not be enough and four might be too many. I have heard and seen that in some countries at least one.
