Any fans of those well known acid heads, Rush, should check this out.

Whilst it is frowned on to make negative, dismissive one-word replies:

BOLLOCKS!!!!!!!LOL

They obviously dont realise how mega-intelligent all Rush fans are...Geek

Well, having been a fan for over 20 years I have to say, that my opinion of this terrible drug guzzling satanic rock act has changed forever.

I'm not sure what Mr Ego death has against Rush. Maybe he's one of those Americans (who I know are in a minority) who think Canadians are a bad influence on Americas youth

What does the Rush song 'I Think I'm Going Bald' mean then?

Yeah, but no, but yeah, but no, but... aaaargh! My brain hurts. Here was I thinking they were just a bunch of fun-loving Canucks whose drummer was a bit of a brainiac with an over-fondness for Ayn Rand. Neil was right about communism, though.

 Anybody noticed the bit on the Rock In Rio extras DVD where the band are backstage pre-show and Peart is poring over a book, looking for interesting historical sites to visit and Geddy is trying pay attention but keeps getting distracted by the early arrivals singing and chanting on the pitch outside. It's priceless - he looks like a little boy who wants to go out to play but can't until Dad has checked his homework.

Well done and thank you, Blacksword - it is rare that one gets to experience a web site where so much thought, time and effort has been put in to share one's outlook on life; rarer still, when you find such a site which so completely echoes your own concerns in respect of those demons in angels' guise, Rush (actually an acronym of "Ruminating Up Satan's Hole").

Finally, I feel vindicated in my opinions

Finally, I can shed the illusory mantle of a Rush fan

Finally, I can expound the opinion that Neil Peart is, in fact Lucifer incarnate, Geddy Lee is that foul demon of the outer circle, Astoroth, and Alex Lifeson began life as a small Yorkshire terrier called Gerald.

The Catharsis,

The relief,

The utter, utter, utter, utter, utter, utter drivel on that website!

Well, here's Mr Ego Deaths take on one verse:

'

I walk down vanity fair, [allusion to dominance of ego-consciousness]
Memory lane ev'rywhere [all mental constructs and memory retrieval seen as alike]
Wall Street shuffles there, [perceptual waviness in altered state - walls and streets shuffle]
Dressed in flowing hair.

Far out dude, I am the f****ing walrus!!

Mr Ego Deaths theories are applicable to any prog rock, or infact any popular music of any kind.

For example Genesis reveal themselves to be coke snorting, devil worshipping trash in the song 'Dance on a volcano'

'Holy mother of God (exclamation as amphetamine spinal rush kicks in)

You've got to go faster than that to get to the top (Dont be such a big girls blouse - take MORE SPEED)

Dirty old mountain covered in smoke (Huge home made bong - self explanatory)

She can turn you to stone, so you better start doing it right (Cold turkey is no fun, so just do more drugs and dont let it get to that)

You get the picture?

I cant believe we've all been so blind for so long  If anyone comes across any other obvious lyrical links to Satanism and drug abuse in the prog world, please be sure to share it with us.
