Orbourus Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Yep , but He'd love to spend the night in Zion So why does he not need a bed? Well the story goes that when they were doing the pre production planning for Signals they were going over housing and meals etc. So they needed rooms for the Band , Producer ,Engineers, etc. but when it came to the Digital Man ( as this was the first Rush Album to be released in the new fangled format called CD) that the person coming in to do the digital mastering could knock it out in one day....thus he wont need a bed because he's a Digital Man. Ok I'm done , its someone elses turn to post one. Edited May 23, 2008 by Orbourus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Free Will", and the reference is to the land of the Lotus-Eaters in Homer's Odyssey. A land lacking in reason, a sort of mythological Disney World, if you will.

Your last question was a stumper - I for one didn't know you were looking for some "real-life" history behind the lyric on "Digital Man." I honestly didn't know there was any - thanks, because that story IS interesting. I was just taking a stab in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we all know, Pratt makes a reference to Simon and Garfunkle's "Sound of Silence" in "The Spirit of Radio." He makes another more subtle reference to Simon and Garfunkle on another song on Permenant Waves. What is the song and what is the reference? I asked this question once on chat. If you got the answer from me then, please give other folks a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
