Mystic Slipperman Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I have to admit, if Neil Peart pulled a Neal Morse and started writing testimonials to his "newfound Lord and Savior", I'd be pretty put off too. If he wrote one song, ok. But if he did an entire album and got really nasty about people who didn't believe like he did, I'd be VERY turned off. Just trying to look at it from another perspective.

Pound of Obscure Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 QUOTE (Running Rebel @ Jan 26 2011, 06:26 PM) Well, I have it on good authority that Geddy and Alex actually did talk to Neil and have persuaded him to incorporate a more fair and balanced theme to the rest of the album which is causing the delay in rewrites. Neil is sticking to the Steampunk Universe concept album and drawing from HG Wells and that British universe that is driven by cranks and gears so he is mixing in a Tea Party Steampunk universe featuring Sarah Palin to make Goober and Gemini happy! http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/yangster1020/sppcoverlowerqual.jpg Now that is Smokin Hot!

Peart writes what most educated and informed people in the civilized world think about many issues. If people in the Southern US and other ultra right wing places, with their radical religious and political beliefs can't handle it, go listed to Toby Keith. total BS... most "educated and informed" people I know go to church. I think it's possible the "educated and informed" people you know from church might not be the same educated and informed people running world governments, coming up with cures to diseases, working on splitting subatomic particles, etc.... just a hunch.

GeminiRising79 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 QUOTE (GeddysMullet @ Jan 26 2011, 03:28 PM) QUOTE (GeminiRising79 @ Jan 26 2011, 04:13 PM) It should be obvious that A&G have their hands tied with Neil, but they're only happy just as long as he doesn't pull the plug on Rush, inc. Imo, Rush is being run into the ground artistically/musically by a domineering Neil Peart and his newer philosophical agenda. Before 2000, the relationship was largely symbiotic between the three, but now he has passively/indirectly hijacked the group and taken A&G (and we fans) hostage, "forcefully" (and more importantly) repetitively subjecting us to his philosophie du jour Again, for the record, this is not a religion-based opinion! Do you actually believe this? Certainly. This is the "stealth" picture of what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeminiRising79 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 I recently read somewhere that Neil is beginning a new school of philosophical thought and reprogramming, sort of like the Betty Ford clinic for the religious-minded rush fan. It's called the Peart Institute for Religious Transection (PIRT). He is currently accepting donations at his website and will personally match your donation with profits from the last tour. He will also allot a certain percentage from sale of his new book "Far and Away", a curiosa of linear, random inconsequentia from Neil's daily life on and off the road. Here's an excerpt: "...cruising along a barren stretch of desert highway while listening to one of Richard's lectures (through my two biaural headphones, right earbud "Lerxst", and left, "Dirk") at a point in the talk where he happens to be deriding (ha ha, no pun) a moron in the audience -But wait- something in my visual periphery breaks my trancelike preoccupation with "The Wizard". Holy cow!! An Argentinian tri-colored box terrapin chomping on a Cereus stromolipherus (a cactus, for you dummies). What is he doing in the lowlands of central New Mexico? Wait a minute... I just said the word "Holy". Jeez, how in God's name could I think this?? Oh, my God...argh, what am I saying! Forgive me, oh Wizard! Wait..what's that organ pipe cactus doing in the forward bearing of my bike? Yaaaaaaaarrrrgh!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
