Love Rush!!! I have pretty much all their albums (except their first one — I like it OK, but just not the same as after Peart joined), but haven’t listened to them for a while. I anticipate the next two months I’m going to be listening to nothing but Rush!
Camera Eye is a great song! That was back when people had a decent attention span (or maybe were sufficiently stoned) to listen to a 20 minute song.
Pretty sure the song of the times from that album is
“Witch Hunt”
The night is black
Without a moon
The air is thick and still
The democrats gather on
The lonely torchlit hill
Features distorted in the flickering light
Faces are twisted and grotesque
Silent and stern in the sweltering night
The Mob moves like demons possessed
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right
Confident their ways are best
Ooh, ahh
The unrighteous rise
With burning eyes
Of hatred and ill-will
Madmen fed on fear and lies
To beat and burn and kill
They say there are strangers who threaten us
Our immigrants and infidels
They say there is strangeness, too dangerous
In our theatres and bookstore shelves
Those who know what’s best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves
Quick to judge
Quick to anger
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear, walk hand in hand
