There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance
I found out today that a friend doesn't like Rush... Not a ground breaking revelation… but, in a very specific way… to me… it is.

See, I remember when Rush 2112 was released – the very day. It was the first rock album I listened to at Marc’s house... the older, way cooler guy who lived next door... I was in grade school… he had a stack of Porno mags and a Camaro with custom paint and wheelie bars... trust me, nothing cooler... He invited me in to listen to it fresh from Licorice Pizza… drooling in front of his Marantz…

Who are those drummers?
That’s Neil Pert.
Neil Pert?
Yeah.
Who?
Dude, he “KICKS ASS” on the drums…
Yeah?…
Dude, he’s so good he gets chicks… Shut up and give me the freaking Doritos…

Rush, so much more than mere mystic altered-state phenomena…
