So THAT is why Rush named that song YYZ.

[Go_Raiders]

YYZ is also the Base Line from that song in Morse Code.

Y= -.--

Z= --..

YYZ=-.---.----..

-.---.----..-.---.----..-.---.----..-.---.----..-.---.----..-.---.----.. etc.

Best. Rock Band. Ever

[-YYZ-]

So THAT is why Rush named that song YYZ.

Yes, and the rhythm at the beginning of the song is based on the morse code for YYZ as sent on the airport transponder - I believe one of the boys in Rush was into aviation at the time they wrote that song. And of course it's their home town, and also my screen name.
