| Rush, a group from the areas around Toronto, Canada, was formed in 1969. The current members of the band Geddy Lee, Neil Peart, and Alex Lifeson, have been performing since 1974. They are presently on their second tour now for their album "Snakes and Arrows". MY personal favorite RUSH song is: "Hemispheres". I was personally bitten (no pun intended) by the song "By-Tor and the Snowdog" from their second album "Fly By Night". The first album I bought was "Caress of Steel", and I have been a fan ever since. I have all the studio albums and DVDs. On my BBS I have the lyrics to ALL the songs, and a text file of a book named "Rush"- by Brian Harrigan. |
| Neil Peart |
| Neil Peart, drummer for the group, is also the lyricist. His lyrics were inspired by numerous books, including Anthem- by Ayn Rand, which influenced the song by the same name, The Lord of the Rings- by J.R.R. Tolkien in which the village "Rivendell" inspired the song of the same name. He reads anything he can, from Plato to Agatha Christie, Thomas Hardy, with a special affection for science fiction and fantasy. Originally inspired by the aggressive drumming of the late Keith Moon, he is also influenced by the likes of Carl Palmer and Bill Bruford. |

| Rush's music has influenced my life. Its worth a listen to hear the meaning in the lyrics of Neil Peart, the emphasis of those lyrics by Geddy Lee, and the guitar excellence of Alex Lifeson. Once you hear their music, you will wonder how 3 people could do all that. Well my friends, it IS worth it. |
