The funniest thing is that people called Rush a “Fascist Band”, because of Neal’s references to Ayn Rand.
Without even realizing that Geddy’s parents were Holocaust survivors.
Yes, I heard about that much later. Early on, my friends and I didn’t know Rush was ever criticized for their political views. We didn’t even view them as political. We just liked their music, and their lyrics sent a message we agreed with. At the time, most of us were worried about the Soviet Union and the spread of communism.
