I was just wondering if you knew where RUSH got a good amount of inspiration from to write their music...not just 2112, but also "Trees" ( a personal favorite) and also "Free Will" among others, were all inspired by the author Ayn Rand.

The lyrics for 2112 are based on the novella Anthem by Ayn Rand, a writer and philosopher who grew up in Russia, but moved to the US as a young adult. She often wrote about the concept of "Objectivism," which focuses on reason, self-interest, and objective reality. The narrator of this story is never named.

Understanding Ayn Rand through the music of Rush - some interesting reading..

consider yourself enlightened....or maybe not

thanks - I had read that in the past but never really dove in to learn more.

And I have a few old lenes that I use on my Nikon...my favorite being an interchangeable mount Tamron 90mm f2.5 macro....
