Merely Space Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I tried putting a cross-shaped stake through it's heart; the stake just burst in to flame, and drifted away as a little puff of smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savagegrace26 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Maybe Neil is a dick but it is pretty much irrelevant. How many of the people who consider Neil to be a dick may be considered to be dicks themselves by other people? The world may never know...

Earthshine Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 I know of at least one person who tried to meet Neil without invitation. He was chased off in no uncertain terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savagegrace26 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 This shouldn't be a question of whether or not Neil is a dick. The majority of human beings are dicks in one way or another. How could one consider Neil to be a dick without acknowledging that you yourself are a dick? You need to be a dick to consider someone else to be a dick.

Prince Sphinc-Tor Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'm willing to accept the fact that Neil might just be an asshole. There are lots of assholes in this world and why should it be that just because we revere and idolize him he's not an asshole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddyRulz Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 QUOTE (Weakly Criminal @ Jan 10 2009, 10:04 PM) No deeper meanings to Neil's works at all. That's not what I'm saying. I'll the be the first to tell you that Neil's lyrics are VERY deep. But if you knew anything about Rush you'd know about their commitment to maintaining personal and artistic integrity. It's not only a recurring lyrical theme in their songs, it's how they work and live their personal lives. It's the very essence of Rush. But here you have Neil taking lyrical advice from some higher-ups in "the establishment," in a cynical attempt to become more popular. Bullshit; it would never happen. Perhaps worse: you've equated humanitarianism, environmentalism, and globalism with some kind of mainstream "establishment" politics. But since when did the "establishment" care about human rights, the environment, or countries beyond their own borders? It's always been suppression of human rights, disconcern for the environment, and pro-nationalism for them... exactly the things that Neil writes against.

I don't think that's exactly what he meant. I think maybe he meant the establishment was "encouraging" him to stop inciting the masses, causing trouble, etc. Maybe something about death threats. Maybe. Extreme conspiracy paranoia here. Maybe some secret initiation when one reaches a certain income bracket. Maybe Neil got a lecture that he shouldn't be saying certain things. I think these are the things the poster was referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
