"A Farewell to Kings" was the title/Ttrack of the album. It is also a noteworthy message song itself.
Rush's previous album "2112" was based upon Atlas Shrugs.
The following album "Hemispheres" has the Orwellian "Animal Farm" song "The Trees" explaining socialism/communism's effects.
Thanks for the great background on Rush. Your comments have been added to my post for the benefit of other readers.
Since having had the pleasure of seeing them in concert a few months ago, I have been meaning to delve a little deeper into their songs. You have given me a head start.
What surprised me the most at the concert, was the large amount of obviously, highly intelligent people that I know from around town that I kept bumping into.
Their drummer, Neil Peart, is apparently their main lyricist and has an IQ that is off the planet.
