Not a fully committed rush fan, though I like them.


Either way, excellent video, thanks for sharing.

We are secrets to each other
Each one's life a novel
No one else has read
Even joined in bonds of love
We're linked to one another
By such slender threads

We are planets to each other
Drifting in our orbits
To a brief eclipse
Each of us a world apart
Alone and yet together
Like two passing ships

Just between us
I think it's time for us to recognize
The differences we sometimes fear to show
Just between us
I think it's time for us to realize
The spaces in between
Leave room for you and I to grow

We are strangers to each other
Full of sliding panels
An illusion show
Acting well rehearsed routines
Or playing from the heart?
It's hard for one to know

We are islands to each other
Building hopeful bridges
On a troubled sea
Some are burned or swept away
Some we would not choose
But we're not always free

Reading that you don't even need the music to hear every note in your head.

I love Rush but I really really wonder why you think this point would convince anyone of their greatness. It's just trivia.



Popular = Good

I assume you're all about Kanye West. How could you not be with that many sales?!!!



Again, just trivia that really isn't going to sway anyone.

I do see your point with the popularity thing and how it can be trivial or subjective. But at the same time, Rush is not Kanye West or Justin Beiber. I would bet my life savings on this next statement.

RUSH FANS ARE FOR THE MOST PART MORE INTELLIGENT HUMAN BEINGS THAN KANYE WEST OR JUSTIN BEIBER FANS.

It's really about longevity. Kanye and Justin have sold a ton of records.

Kanye has 7 that have gone gold or better. Beiber has 4. All in the past 10-15 years, and all unbelievably hyped by critics and the rest of the 24/7 universal media.

Rush has 25, spanning over 43 years, and all with basically zero critical or media support.

JiggleMonster 04-22-2017 10:48 PM

Another good point. Beiber and Kanye probably wont be talked about in 30 years. Certainly won't still be performing.

JiggleMonster 04-22-2017 10:49 PM

****, 30 years? I'd be surprised if either of them are touring in 10 years.
