How could I have missed that reference? I blame it on Olivia Newton John. Her song will not leave my head every time I think about Xanadu. Talk about living heck.

Thank you for mentioning it. The Rush video has been added to the post as a cultural reference to utopia. I prefer the early concert film to the official video.

I saw Rush a few months back on their last tour. They still rock. Three plus hours of jamming with only a small break. Simply amazing.

"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.
