I was watching a video about RUSH. The song Closer to the Heart was being shown and the camera was focused on Neil, he was facing away from the audience where a set of tubular bells were hanging. He tapped those bells, spun around and *BANG* right back to his drums. The transition was seamless. I'm getting goose bumps just thinking about it.

Actually, if you watch the Rush doc; they are all quite forward about how they were influenced by their contemporaries, ESPECIALLY on this album. Both Peart and Lifeson give props to "The Police" and New Wave in general, which were influences here. Rush knew music well enough to know NONE of it was theirs; it came thru them, a gift from the universe.

It also saw Rush touch on reggae during a brief break-down section, no doubt due to their appreciation of the then-burgeoning Police.

Music was a much more important influence on the generations that grew up before the internet. Don't get me wrong, I love video games, the internet, mobile phones and all the access to knowledge that modern life has brought - but, music has been losing ground to other forms of entertainment since the 50s when TVs became the "go to".

I remember Lee doing an interview with a DJ who was excited about how Spirit of Radio was seemingly about DJ's and the radio business, the interviewing DJ was like, "you're singing about me there!" as he happily conducted the interview. And Geddy Lee was like, "yeah....I am singing about you." It totally went right over the DJ's head.

When Rush recorded this album, they were in a tiny cabin studio in the middle of the woods in Canada far away from civilization. And then there was a crazy snow storm and they were locked in their cabin and they couldn't leave to go to the grocery store or anything to go shopping or just walk around because their door was blocked in by over 500 lb of snow. So they recorded this album and the Dead Winter of Canada all by themselves while being locked in the cabin. And it turned out to be arguably one of the greatest albums in Rock and roll History not only rock and roll but in music history

Thanks for the video RIP Neil Peart. Young kids now have no idea of how much radio was apart of our lives back in the 60's and 70's. Rush best Canadian rock band ever. Lyrically, the song is a lament on the change of FM radio from free-form to commercial formats during the late 1970s. The Toronto-based station CFNY-FM-which had not abandoned free-form programming-is cited as an inspiration for the song, It's brilliant the transitions, is like changing the radio dial.

The beginning/chorus guitar lick is something Alex Lifeson appropriated from Gaelic music...HOW do you make that something that could work in 1980 and both establish the feel, and transition into, the rest of the song? The funk your face off walking bass line of Geddy Lee (you asked us about)? The deliriously catchy chord progression of the stanzas? The frenetic guitar solo? And the reggae breakdown...? Then SOMEHOW one of the best drummers of all time is nearly an afterthought in the song...except that brilliant bastard wrote the lyrics while still laying down a stellar groove through all the time changes and stylistic changes. This song is pure genius in 5 minutes.

This album is from January, 1980, and that riff is 100% Rush baby!! Unsure where you may have caught it before, but this is one of those tracks that they would play on the radio! They had no problems playing to different styles, in this case, bringing in Ska, almost Reggae type beats, then going back to beating the sh!t out of you with heavy rock! Makes sense as they come from a cultural melting pot that is Toronto, Canada. Now it's time for 2112 (album version), or maybe Passage to Bangkok (either live, from Exit...Stage Left, or the album version). I think you're also ready for Xanadu, and La Villa Strangiato (album versions). Great reaction man, keep the Rush coming!

Alex also said that the opening was Celtic (imagine it being played by a violin and you'll instantly see it), and that the main riff is stressed a couple of ways (including a punk type version - although I have difficulty hearing it). Of course there's also the banging piano of the old classic rock era. So many influences hidden within, and seamlessly done. :)

The biggest thrill I had when I was a kid was hearing Rush on short-wave radio. In the time I grew up - the 80's - it was a time long before the internet, and the quickest way to hear what was going on in the world was to tune in on the short-wave to hear it directly. This was well an good to a nerd like me, but to hear a foreign broadcaster play Rush on a signal that faded in and out and phased was the biggest thrill. To know that the world was hearing on of our boys was always a moment of pride to this Canadian boy.

I just cried watching this. Rush changed my life. I have friendships because of Rush. My babysitters used to crank up Rush in the 1970s. Exit...Stage Left was my first Rush album on vinyl. I played it 1000s of times. Before cell phones, we used to hang out, play records, talk, smoke weed, & laugh. I saw Rush live, maybe 17 times. Always amazing. Rush fans are great and kind. One time, back in the 80s, maybe at the LA Forum, this guy down in the front row section played air drums with glow in the dark drum sticks along with Neil for the entire concert. That was pretty mind blowing. RIP Neil Peart. And thanks to you musicians out there.

Rush's first album was Rush...came out in 1974. This album, Permanent Waves, is their 7th studio album which came out in January of 1980. They did a live album every 4th album so this is technically their 8th album. The band originally formed in 1968 with drummer John Rutsey who walked away leaving the drummer spot open for the professor-Neil Peart. The rest is history. They are, in my opinion the greatest band ever.

Beer buddies and old girlfriends Rock and Roll and the drive in and the beach in the summer. No computers or cellphones. Simple life. The young people of this day can't imagine the world back then. Pure joy and nothing too complicated...and a lot of love...
