So, you probably don't know me. I'd like to make a few comments on the article about HYF lyrics. I agree that some songs, like Second Nature and Tai Shan have excellent lyrics, but I don't think this is the best piece of work Rush (in special Neil Peart) have done. I think that their most brilliant work concerning lyrics belongs to Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures. Well, I think this space must be democratic, so, I'm giving my sincere opinion.

Greetings fellow dittoheads! (oops, wrong group, that should have read Greetings fellow Rushians!) I just thought that I would pass along something that I have found to be true. If you want to see Rush videos, watch VH-1. During their classic rock block at night (11:00 pm EDT??), I have seen the videos for: Big Money Tom Sawyer (from the ESL video) Spirit of Radio (from the p/g video) and Time Stand Still (?).

THE GEDDY/STEINBERGER/WAL BIZNESS: 1) P/G was the only release Geddy used a Steinberger to record. 2) From PoW to RTB (and "Critical Mass"?), Geddy used a Wal to record. 3) Geddy used a Steinberger on the P/G and PoW tours. Wals on all others. On the HYF tour, Ged had a back-up Steinberger just in case the Wal screwed up for any reason. However, the rest of the tours that followed found Geddy with a small army of back-up Wals. STEINBERGER BASSES: EXPENSIVE, BUT SHIT? The narrow-bodied, graphite model is the XL2. It usually runs about $2000. It is true, however, that the bass sounds crappy. The other Steinberger bass, the XM2, is full-bodied, six hundred dollars less, and sounds very warm and great. It was designed by Ned Steinberger and Mike Rutherford (of Genesis). Apparently Rutherford really dug the Steinberger guitar/bass sound, but HATED the teeny- tiny body. So, he called Ned, told him what he wanted to do, and got to help design the full-bodied Steinberger guitar/bass. I don't see Steinbergers being played too much anymore...I suppose they were fad-ish. It was neat, IMHO, to watch Geddy run around with a Steinberger strapped around his shoulder. Oh, well...enough for now. ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 29 Apr 93 22:19:10 EDT From: Greg.Andrade@um.cc.umich.edu Subject: Weckl and Rand In response to the comment about Weckl playing with musicians who are not as good as Geddy and Alex, I must laugh. I love Ged and Alex and am of the opinion that Rush is, overall, the best music group around, but Lee and Lifeson couldn't hold a flame to cats like Frank Gambale, John Pattitucci, or Chick Corea, to name a few. It is pointless to argue this issue since Weckl and Peart and all of the others play quite differently, but, keep in mind that Weckl and his musical companions can play rock and many more styles than Rush can, especially when one considers the degree of authenticity. Secondly, I've been meaning to bring up a point about Ayn Rand and 2112 for some time. There has been a lot of discussion concerning Neil Peart's use of Anthem as an inspiration for 2112, or at least his acknowledgement of certain similarities to avoid trouble. Well, the basic concept of Anthem was taken from another dystopian work by another Russian writer, called We, by Zevgeny Zamyatin. Notice the title and its relation to "we" and "I" in Anthem. In both novels, the narrator uses the writing of a journal as a subversive activity and describes a state-controlled society based on collectivism. With no acknowledgement of such, Rand more or less duplicated We, for all practical considerations. So, before we accuse Peart of plagiarizing or make an issue out of his use of Anthem as a source, we should look at Rand's own background for Anthem. ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 29 Apr 1993 19:47:40 -0700 (MST) From: jeffrey r brinkman <brinkmaj@gas.uug.arizona.edu> Subject: Whoa there! Hey, Sorry jason, I didn't mean to ruff your feathers. But, I _do_ feel that MTV is a product of nothing but their own programming. I do not suscribe to the idea that music sucks today because of the record companies. Sure the record companies are putting out what they think everyone is going to like, but that doesn't mean that's what we _have_ to listen to!!! Let's face it, the record companies are only capitalizing on what everyone thinks is "trendy". Consumers decide what is trendy and what sucks, and the record companies react. If MTV wanted to play what was good, then they sure as hell would. MTV has been reduced to playing what is trendy, and not what is good. Just because they played a half hour of an ex-beatle, doesn't, in my mind, make them a decent organization. I don't know how many people remember, but when MTV first came around, they did play good music, including rush. They were not concerned with what was trendy. I do remember the first year or so seeing Tom and Limelight many times. It's just like everything else, they went commercial. They have no integrity. And that folks, IMHO, is the biggest reason that rush simply should not play MTV.

And why isn't it the fault of MTV that they suck? I'm sure Neil et al would agree that the board of directors has free will...the corporation simply realised that they could make a higher marginal profit by targetting goofy 13yr olds for their advertising (and thus, have to show videos that they like). More power to them. Unfortunately those who enjoy RUSH and other similar bands are a lot hard to pigeonhole, which means that it would cost more per person to aim a TV station at us (especially b/c we don't watch nearly as much TV as 13 yr olds). So...it pays to suck. (My personal favorite MTV-ism is pitching VH-1 as "the other video channel", with slight hints of ripping on MTV for being so superficial...while (a) they engage in the same sort of butt-smooching MTV does (hipply hippy 15 second info-sermons to a 30-something crowd on the environment and hip democrat politicians) and (b) THEY ARE OWNED AND RUN BY THE SAME PEOPLE! Paul McCartney and *Elton John*: they *are* trendy sellouts (or at least they try very hard to be). It's sort of sad seeing people the age of my parents altering their sound in a relentless effort to appeal to the 13 yr. old MTV audience. NYT Best Sellers: Not suprising that those authors never hit #1. They write stuff that appeals to a smaller group year after year (and people move into and out of that group...constant sellers...). Other authors make a huge splah, but have no staying power. Trivia: the NYT Best Seller list is based on quantities of books ordered by book store chains. Not consumer purchases. Steve King often hits #1 before his book is released...book stores pre-order. And then send back 1/2 of the order later. There have also been several charges of corruption in the ranking (the bookseller industry is very tight...and -theoretically- if the NYT labelled some generic book a best seller, the publicity could very well make it a best seller...self fulfilling prophecy...). Isaac Asimov: is spelled thusly. He was an honorary prof at some university in NYC...never really taught... Met him once. Dead now (croaked w/in the last yr or so...). Him. Not me. I'm more or less alive. I'll be more alive after finals. Red Lenses: it isn't under-rated, its correctly rated. Most people(that I've talked to about it) rank it poorly. I agree, but would be interested in hearing why others like it... ObNewTopic: I need to get used to a lot of music before I like it. This break in period is usually short, but w/ Rush, it is often a year or longer. I only started to really appreciate HYF a year or so ago (and I was a Rush fan long before the album came out, I went to the concert,etc.) I'm starting to like RTB around now. Has anyone else out there had a similar experience, or is it just me, and I should take my lithium more often...? Well, enough rambling. --- Travis Corcoran tcorcora@sunlab.cit.cornell.edu Bite the Wax Tadpole! ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 30 Apr 1993 02:25:51 -0400 From: Sister Ray <moleface@wam.umd.edu> Subject: re: Over The Europe >Just bought this recently and I hate to say it, since it seems to be >everybody's favourite piece of officially non-existant Rush stuff, but I >was a little disappointed. >Yes it has the whole set, including Cygnus X-1.

Oh well, I guess you're entitled to your opinion. I will give you this, though; I don't think anyone else could be in a state of mind that would liken the little "skit" during CttH to strangling a cat! :) Damn, wish I'd thought of that!

Re: the discussions regarding what the themes of HYF are, I think the main focus is on time and instinct. However the overall theme is definately humanity. I much prefer these people-related lyrics to the colder more technology focussed stuff. RTB in my opinion is another 'humanity' album. I had a very real reason to ponder Rush songs and lyrics a while back. My best friend Simon died young and very unexpectedly. He and I were lifelong Rush fans, from 'Rush' to RTB we have followed their music. Simon's Mother asked me to choose some music he would have wanted played at the cremation. I thought of our friendship throughout the years and of all the friends he was leaving behind and instinctly knew the song had to be 'Time Stand Still'. The humanity of the lyrics, the passage of time, wanting a particularly good time to stand still seemed so appropriate. The majority of the people attending the service hadn't heard Rush before but took to the song and lyrics straight away, it seemed so appropriate.

Scott Josephson, you are wrong about the red Wal on Presto. The black Wal was used on that album. Exclusively. Roll the Bones featured the red one, and the black one was used on two songs. Not quite sure which, although the bass on Where's my Thing and Face Up sounds substantially twangier than the rest, so I would hazard it was those two. A major proportion of the red one sounding warmer is that it has a slightly larger body...but I still say bring back the Rickenbacker! Rush Unplugged - looks like I am one of the few people that thinks this is a good idea. So what if Alex Lifeson wouldn't get a distorted/chorused/flanged etc sound? Try to look beyond all the clever little sound effects and examine the SONG instead. I've always believed that playing a song acoustically is an excellent test of the strength of the song - therefore ANY Rush song could be done. Why are so many Rush fans so precious about the band? It seems to me that many have the attitude of 'they're my favourite band, and I don't want them to become too popular'. It's as if they feel they have one over on people who don't like/haven't really heard Rush. And of course, we must NEVER have them on nasty, horrible MTV. What would the neighbours say? Final point - I have the entire Rush collection on vinyl. Personally, with a decent system I think they sound far better than CDs, which sound rather too cold and clinical for my liking.

NOT! It seems to me that Rush unplugged would be like KISS doing country music (And I've heard KISS do country - trust me, it ain't pretty). Not only would Alex have to change a playing style that he's spent *years* perfecting, the music they do doesn't lend itself well to being acousticalized at all (aside from the parts that are acoustic like the intro to "Trees", and "Closer to The Heart"). They would have to come up with all new material that would fit an "unplugged" style of playing. Hmmmm.... Rush doing country music.... eeesssshhhh, the very thought makes my stomach turn. Cya!

Huffnagle) Subject: Peart and Rand I agree with whoever said that the Neil Peart/Ayn Rand connection has been over emphasized. Sure Neil, of course, read her books and was inspired by them. But I doubt he sits around everyday reading Ms. Rand's books. Through his lyrics I woul assume he is one who likes to read lots of books. Obviously, he agrees with Rand's basic philosophy, but I think maybe he uses it as a foundation and expands on it himself. The theme of individualism and such is evident through Rush's lyrics. Even Red Tide was written, according to Peart for "selfish reasons." Which I was glad to hear, because I'd hate to call Peart an enviromentalist. I am gald he dedicated an album to her, because it led me to read her books, but I doubt he's a fanatic about her. Then again, how the hell would I know what he does in his spare time. rsh ******************************************************************************* Ralph Huffnagle Rutgers University-Camden "I'm not interested in helping people.

On the contrary, he was totally infatuated with Rand at the time of 2112. And I simply don't think it's true that Peart first wrote 2112 and then read Anthem, belatedly realizing the connection. The plots are just too similar for this account to be credible, in my opinion. I don't think Peart really started shaking off the Rand connection until Presto. Think about the lyrics of "Presto" and "Available Light." ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 30 Apr 1993 09:51:00 -0400 (EDT) From: HELLERSN%ASDPOST%MHS%UCVAX@pmdf.uc.edu Subject: RUSH-Unplugged Another first timer here with his $0.02 worth. First of all I do remember the early days of MTV when RUSH videos were shown pretty much every hour. Of course these were all footages from the ESL video but it was great to see. I can't remember the last time I saw them on MTV (probably 6 or 7 years at least). Anyway, I don't think the point is if MTV would have them on rather what they would sound like if they were on. Personally, I think some of their older stuff would sound pretty cool but they would definetely have to pick and choose songs and rewrite some of the chords. I know myself and other RUSH fans that I know, know that they could pull it off easily and it would be good. Side note: I started listening to RUSH when I was 17 and MP just came out. My parents of course have absolutely no taste in music and I wondered what I would listen to when I got older. Now that I'll be turning the dreaded 30 this year, I can proudly say I'll be listening to RUSH!

Get this; I saw a CD entitled "Red Barchetta". One the front is a shiny red car. The background on the inside of the booklet is of a car's dashboard. There is what looks like some Spanish along the bottom of the inside. Most of the songs listed, if I remember correctly, were from Moving Pictures. On the front of the album it says "Limited Edition: 1,000 copies made." (I hope I got the number right, I do not exactly remember what it was.) Please note that this album does NOT appear to be a single; there are about 5 songs, maybe 6 on it.
