New World Man is one of my favourites too. I see allusions to the Kent State incident, but also to the present crisis. America was “wise enough to win the world” but the present occupants of the White House and Congress seem “fool enough to lose it”. To answer President Trump’s question, the Democrats and their leftist fellow travellers in the MSM, Big Tech and Academia are “tired of [America] winning”. Their policies are not inadvertently destroying the country, that is their intended purpose.

“ I am not sure if Mr Lee is conservative or liberal, but the lyrics to ‘The Trees’ are an indictment of communism.”

Sorry, I get more Das Kapital than Animal Farm from that and other songs.

Heh, I have decided to embrace my codgeriness...

My wife is forcing me to go have a hearing test, so maybe I’ll get two big flesh colored ones, one behind each ear...:)

I’m aware that Neil Peart (RIP) wrote the lyrics.

I was unaware of his affection for Ayn Rand…but happy to hear about it.

Even more happy to hear the story from him about the lyrics to Trees!
