Great song by Rush.
I wonder, does the guy in the song actually drive the Red Barchetta or is he just “ dreaming with his uncle by the fireside” about driving it.
If the enviro-nazis have their way, there will be a Motor Law someday.
“I wonder, does the guy in the song actually drive the Red Barchetta or is he just “ dreaming with his uncle by the fireside” about driving it.”
Interesting - I’ve never though of that. I would guess not - but I’ve guessed wrong lots of times too! I suppose he is dreaming about what it was like in the old days and all the freedom his uncle had.
And yes - what with automated cars, mass transit, etc. - folks ARE talking about this sort of stuff. I don’t see it happening in America though. One - it is part of who we are (yes, that can change I suppose), but - it is a long ways with not much of anything between Seattle and Minneapolis. Other than a nice car ride with some tourist attractions. Although I suppose some would prefer to get in their transport pod, go to sleep and wake up in time for breakfast in Missoula.
As for the Rush song - I prefer the live versions!
