I love Rush and always will but Neil is a walking contradiction over his entire life and what he has written and has said influenced him to his core. Then again he said a few years back that one of his dream dinners would be to have dinner with Barack Obama. But that was a few years ago...since then I have noticed Neil's more Libertarian side starting to come back and his hard left turn he took back in 2002 through 2008 has kinda waned. Still....I bet Abe Lincoln would take issue with his Republican/Jesus remarks.
Side note...the new Rush album is their best in over 20 years...easily.
Intellectual mushiness, typical of many excellent artists and musicians. It won’t stop me from buying Rush’s music, but I hope Mr. Peart will take a close look at the Jesus of the Bible and realize how mistaken he is.
