Choose/the/light Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 yes good job guys, hektur got it first, but cygnusx3 was more exact. heres a quote form a website QUOTE What is The Omega Concern? As Alex realized that he had to play acoustic guitar for some Rush tunes and then quickly switch to his electric ("Closer to the Heart," etc.), he crafted a stand (actually an attachment to a Tama Titan cymbal stand) that holds his acoustic in an adjustable playing position. He soon began to sell this as a product (1st to Music Emporium) under the company label "The Omega Concern." Apparently, Alex's "company" also made Geddy a light-up lyric stand and Neil got a newspaper/book holder so he could read while he eats breakfast.

Choose/the/light Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 It's referring to "The Sounds of Silence," by Simon and Garfunkel. Here are the relevant lyrics: "The Sounds of Silence": "And the sign said: 'The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence'" "The Spirit of Radio": "For the words of the profits, Are written on the studio wall, Concert hall - Echoes with the sounds ... Of salesmen." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
