Rush-The Spirit Of Radio Reaction

[@davidbailey6397]

All you reactioners that wondered why all of us old white men were drumming in our cars,this was what we were listening to😂😂😂

[@rhondie4ever]

@o o dang, just let the people like whatever they want and be absorbed into the high energy of the song like this lady.

[@Lord_Raptor]

@o o Is your head in your ass cuz you like the warmth? @Baily David One of the truest statements ever made.

[@BucksPackersBrewers]

o o Despite your best efforts you don’t sound insightful at all, you sound like a douche bag curmudgeon who’s jealous of everybody that does anything. Sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up.

[@dennislindqvist8443]

@o o Most of all, you must be interested in music to do interesting reactions. I guess you're thinking of reality tv, but that's a whole different story. They have a big production team and a lot of money to dramatize it. How do people know you're not fake, just another bitter troll?

[@dav5446]

[@locosololobo9972]

In Canada it's illegal to not give a thumbs up to Rush reactions. So here you go.

[@proulxr2002]

Vance Davenport - I do the exact same thing, steering wheel, desk, tapping my feet on the floor of my car, my home,... I’m sure you get the point! RUSH is Canada’s #1 rockers. 🇨🇦🇨🇦👍🏻👍🏻😍😍

That part 😂

[@Jadamhodges]

"One likes to believe in the freedom of music, but glittering prizes and endless compromises, shatter the illusion of integrity."

[@Jadamhodges]

Musicians though are in a particular spot of being able to sell art to the masses with a special freedom of expression. There may be the look of artistic character, of noble intention, but often it's easier for a group to create some false profundity, fake depth if you will. Selling out in their eyes seems to be compromising one's morals for something fleeting like money.

[@suzannejane1035]

It sums a lot of stars up, not all but many.

[@threepeater]

I love RUSH since 1976... Welcome to our World...enjoy the journey!

[@PaulHilburger]

You have caught the Rush bug. There is no cure.

[@MrSirwolf2001]

I've had it 40 years. It is highly communicable.

[@davidr3146]

The question is why would you want a cure?

[@Divhreaza]

To quote a certain demon Hunter, "You act like I want to be cured. Personally, I like the disease!"

[@garse70]

Forever infected!

[@SylviusTheMad]

Perhaps the most amazing thing about this song is that it was a hit that got radio play, even though the lyrics are about how fundamentally corrupt radio is.

[@s1d299]

"But if I really say it... the radio won't play it... unless I lay it... between the lines" (They didn't hide it much on this track, though!)

[@surfeit5910]

You give radio companies too much credit for thinking they listen to the lyrics for anything other than obscenities.

[@karldixon2704]

It was the only one many radio stations understood at the rime , Rush fans where at least a decade ahead, and the next generation coming on line now

[@garrymathesen8748]

It is more about how corrupt the entire music biz is.

[@rodshoaf]

Its not about corruption...Its a love song to radio.. with a realistic view of how commercial it is at the same time.. Neil's thoughts on it was as he was growing up and it always had the perfect music to fit his mood.

[@michaelnorman2967]

Rush has roped Scribe into being another big fan. Way to go Scribe!!! Glad you could join us Rush heads. There is soooo much more to discover about Rush. Thanks for this video.

[@jonathonbattiest4522]

one of the best songs ever recorded.

[@proulxr2002]

Jonathon Battiest - Hands down my fav of all time. I could listen to this song over and over and I’ll still have my feet and hands banging on the floor and desk or wherever I happen to be at that moment... even air drumming!!

The single "The Spirit of Radio" was released on 1/1/1980, ahead of the album it's from. What a way to start a decade!

[@conchrepublictheband]

Gary Torborg Saw Rush perform this at Dallas’ Cotton Bowl Stadium in August of ‘79.

[@MKPiatkowski]

It was my introduction to the band. To prog rock in general, thinking on it. Was so different from everything else on the radio. And this song broke them to a wider audience like me.

[@sammarsh3679]

@David Hargreaves UK often had a different schedule I definitely first heard this at the very start of 1980, and went out and bought 6 of their albums at once.

YOU GOT IT!!!! The transitions toward the end of the song is supposed to simulate someone flipping between different genres while listening to the radio. More Rush please, preferably Test for Echo 😊

[@s1d299]

That's a great thing to know about this song. I never did, but having heard the song many times, as soon as I read that recently, it made sense immediately.

[@jolokia2788]

I feel it is so important for this music to live on and be appreciated by generation after generation. There will never be the level of innovation and raw musical talent from musicians from the 60s, 70s and 80s ever again.

"2112" or "La Villa Strangiato" by Rush

"One likes to believe in the freedom of music, but glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity." Such a powerful lyric, one of my favorites by Mr. Peart. That man drops little bombs like these in many Rush songs. Cheers!

[@florymha]

Did you know Neil the drummer wrote the lyrics of most of the songs>?

[@moose6988]

This song is a tribute to the Toronto radio station CFNY 102.1 back in 1980 when it was cool and embodied “The Spirit of [FM] Radio”, but became a an anthem to all rebel radio that played new experimental rock and pop music.

[@kevinburke5463]

It’s great that you give props to the transitions. Frequent time signature changes, complex instrumental layering, and poetic lyrics are all hallmarks of progressive rock. It was bands like Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Rush, etc. that provided me with what became my favorite genre of rock music.

[@thedocofrock1890]

love your reactions-neil peart was probably one of the top 5 drummers of all time-he just passed away-rush was also in the top 4 of 3 man bands of all time-cream in 1968,the james gang in 1970,rush and then the police in the early 80's.it brings joy to my heart to see younger people discovering them now-i was 23 in 1978 for this.but earth wind and fire and some other motown groups were also getting huge radio airplay -just loved it all-musical tastes and choices were endless

[@nicknixon6198]

The dancer slows her frantic pace In pain and desperation Her aching limbs and downcast face Aglow with perspiration Stiff as wire, her lungs on fire With just the briefest pause The flooding through her memory The echoes of old applause She limps across the floor And closes her bedroom door The writer stares with glassy eyes Defies the empty page His beard is white, his face is lined And streaked with tears of rage Thirty years ago, how the words would flow With passion and precision But now his mind is dark and dulled By sickness and indecision And he stares out the kitchen door Where the sun will rise no more

[@absea7918]

Great reaction! Love your enthusiasm. Rush were always pushing, looking for new sounds, and grooves. In late 1979, the Police (band) were getting huge, and they had a reggae'ish sound. The Police had excellent musicians (Sting for one), but drummer Stuart Copeland was someone who Rush's drummer was very impressed with. Check out the Police some time, they are excellent.

[@thisisscorpio6024]

(7:31) The transitions in The Spirit of Radio are simulating the changing of radio stations on an analog radio dial. The transition marked at this junction is rather cleverly done. If you turned the tuning dial quickly, then many radio stations would broadcast like a blur to your ears.

I hope you work your way up to 2112 and Xanadu by them. Peace. Great work and best to you.
