      You haven't chosen to end the conflict in the middle east, therefore you are equally morally responsible with others who have made that choice. Unless of course we consider the material conditions or grounding factors in which that choice was made under.

    Make no mistake, Alex Lifeson is one of rock's greatest guitarists because he takes you to so many places. He can write heavy badass bluesy riffs, psychedelic soundscapes, weird proggy chord progressions, tasteful acoustic passages, New Wave-style flourishes. And he can play one hell of a face-melting guitar solo.

    "There are those who think that life
    Has nothing left to chance
    With a host of holy horrors
    To direct our aimless dance
    A planet of playthings
    We dance on the strings
    Of powers we cannot perceive
    “The stars aren’t aligned -
    Or the gods are malign”
    Blame is better to give than receive
    You can choose a ready guide
    In some celestial voice
    If you choose not to decide
    You still have made a choice
    You can choose from phantom fears
    And kindness that can kill
    I will choose a path that’s clear
    I will choose free will.
    There are those who think that
    They were dealt a losing hand
    The cards were stacked against them
    They weren’t born in Lotus-Land.
    All pre-ordained
    A prisoner in chains
    A victim of venomous fate
    Kicked in the face
    You can’t pray for a place
    In Heaven’s unearthly estate
    Each of us
    A cell of awareness
    Imperfect and incomplete
    Genetic blends
    With uncertain ends
    On a fortune hunt
    That’s far too fleet…"

      @ShallexYou're right on record sales. There are other metrics to form opinion on who's "best". Like musician ability/virtuosity, lyrical quality (intellectually speaking), number of albums recorded and dedication to live touring aspect of the band.

  • @marieblue
    @marieblue Год назад +5

    Two interesting quotes about Rush’s “Freewill” (1980) :
    Geddy Lee : “The song is about freedom of choice and free will, and you believing in what you decide you believe in.”
    Neil Peart : “Lotus-land as it appears in ‘Free Will’ is simply a metaphor for an idealized background, a ‘land of milk and honey.’”
    The line, “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice” originally read “If you choose not to decide, you cannot have made a choice,” but was changed to make more sense logically.
    NOTEWORTHY : The “Permanent Waves” album (1980) marked the band’s transition from epic length tracks to more compact pieces, generating increases in radio airplay and LP sales. 💙🎵💚

    They were the epitome of ability and autodidactism. None of them had the benefits of a formal musical education, but constantly built upon their knowledge by seeking out more information, and using the raw ability that they were born with. What came out of this was pure magic. Alex used to say "individually, we're an ass, but together we are a genius." Actually, I think they were all individually geniuses, but they became something beyond that when they worked together. We're diminished by the loss of Neil, and the retirement of Alex and Geddy, but their work lives on every time someone plays it. They're a musical collaboration of incredible consequence.

I’m a strained from a lot of my family due to the actions during active addiction but my mom and I have always listened to rush and it made our lives together a little more manageable. Sometimes music really is a cure, or atleast a distraction
