Great music, and great opinion posted. (I think he said he was born around '82', and didn't know when "Tom Sawyer" was made.. (1981).

Anyway, it is fun and interesting to watch the 'First Time' vids of these last 2 generations...

If RUSH had only ever released that one song, their place in rock history would still have been cemented forever.

It’s breathtaking, imho.

The other day I saw a reaction video to “The Wizard of Oz”. The people didn’t know the story but did know that it was an old film. The movie starts out in Kansas, with its sepia tones. The reactors didn’t comment on that — it’s an old movie, right? Movies used to be black and white. No need to say anything about the monochrome world of Kansas.

And then Dorothy lands in Oz — and the movie switches to color. The reactors were AMAZED! Color movies?? Is that possible?? Did they make color movies back then? How did they do that??

Reaction videos can be a guilty pleasure.

Correction.. was a typo when I typed ‘82.. but meant ‘92... BUT went back and checked, he was born in ‘95.

My favorite "reaction" guy is Jamal AKA Jamel. Super nice guy who reviews all kind of stuff and had become a huge fan of progressive rock after hearing it for the first time. That's actually not uncommon among reactors, most of whom had no idea that genre existed.

His reaction after hearing Yes' Close to the Edge:

I thought this was about Rush Limbaugh.

I am a long time Rush fan. First concert I went to was Rush back in the 80s. Agree or disagree with their politics, they really hit the mark, with some timeless classics.

Never a Rush fan, but I did like Tom Sawyer.

It’s funny to me seeing someone discovering an album that I bought on vinyl soon after it was released.
I saw Rush in person in 1985 and again in 2015, they are one of the few bands that sound great live.
I’d love to see this guy listen to “La Villa Strangiato” from their “Hemispheres “ album.

OK, I don’t usually sit through stuff like this but that video was fantastic. This gibby guy was awesome too. Trump flag in background was a huge bonus. Thanks for the uplift in another very crappy Cho Bia Dung week.
