ST SID Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Maybe I should listen to Barry Manilow instead then.... I've have an extra ticket for CopaCabana currently running at Johnstone Toon Hall....words and music by the great one, performed by the Pheonix Theatre Group. If you see this show Bazza's socialist muaical might redress the damage done by hours of fascist brainwashing from RUSH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud the Baker Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Bugger, never saw it in the TV Guide 'til later (My Edit - Cat Steven's gig) ......don't suppose you recorded it??? HHiBSS....they are as right wing as you'll get, the musical equivalent of Dick Cheney and that is what all of there music is based upon. Their lyrics are a reaction to the socialist politcal movement in Canada at the time....RUSH are utter scumbags that want to eradicate unions and all forms of welfare. As po-faced as you are you know f"k aw about music as BtB has skillfully proven. Funny you should like Cat Stevens, I find his "spiritualism" rather cloying and much prefer the humanist lyrics of Neil Peart. Cat Stevens, or Yusuf Islam as we should perhaps call him, endorsed the death sentence ordered by the Ayatollah Khomeini against novelist Salman Rushdie for writing the book The Satanic Verses. As I've said elsewhere putting people on pedestals only mean that they've further to fall. The question is do Peart's lyrics negate the value of the band's music. For some people they obviously have done, but I feel that the fascistic nature of the lyrics are exagerrated by many critics and that you cannot blame Peart/Rush for the economic savagery of the Thatcher and Raygun regimes. **************************************************** It might be of interest to note that one survey of Rush fans found that they were on the side of the priests in 2112!

Firstly Salman Rushdie is a disgrace and not a million miles away from Peart in outlook. The article on this isue was published by a non-muslim newspaper with clear malice in its intent. It is a wee bit like looking in the Daily Telegraph for a balanced view on the Palestinian situation. The difference with Cat Stevens or Yusuf is that he had already spent years supporting worthy causes throughout the world and more importantly addressed the misinformation of a malicious journalist immediately and consistently - whereas Peart and RUSH have maintained their right wing scumbaggery.

Guest Mr. Milton Banana Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 RE: Neil Peart and Rush. The Unions of the pre-Thatcher era have developed a stereotyped image of being workshy, standing back with hands in pockets. Stereotype it may be but, unfortunately, stereotypes are based in at least a little truth and it can’t be denied Neil Peart would have witnessed such incidences when living in London in his pre-Rush days selling posters on street corners trying to make ends meet. Little wonder, then, that an individual and objectivist approach would be adopted by the man. Acknowledging that we are indeed responsible for our own actions enforces individualism by definition. It is therefore arguable that using this mind set one then moulds their own actions with the thoughts of cause and effect hence giving consideration to others. Employing such a mind process is central to many Peart lyrical themes and 2112 is as scathing an attack on imposed religion enforcing all freedom of thought to be eradicated as one may find. Your argument is an interesting one, St. Sid, and not without its merits. Ultimately this coincides exactly with how it should be with Neil Peart. Would one, who advocates being such an individual, be happy with fans who, sheep-like, agree with absolutely everything he commits to voice or would he prefer that fans give his philosophies due consideration and accept or discard them as they see fit?
