GeddysMullet Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 QUOTE (GeminiRising79 @ Jan 28 2011, 12:44 PM)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 scribe 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 where he happens to be deriding (ha ha, no pun) a moron in the audience. But 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, Wizard!! Wait..what's that organ pipe cactus doing in the forward bearing of my bike? Yaaaaaaaarrrrgh!!!" This is actually pretty funny! Not as funny as the whole "Would you have a threesome with a member of Rush and his wife" thing, but certainly better than most of your recent material. You do a lot better with the really off-the-wall stuff than you do with the deadpan, so keep that in mind for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SignatureAurora75 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I only hope Neil continues to write more powerful lyrics about how silly it is to believe in a watch maker that "loves us all to death." Maybe he can actually get through to some of these people that still believe in such a supernatural being and bring them down to reality. It amazes me how people continue to believe, even thousands of years after people believed such characters as Zeus and Apollo were real. These ancient people had no scientific idea how lightning works, or how the moon orbits the earth, or the earth orbits the sun. They could only assume these things were being controlled by supreme beings because that's the ONLY way they could try to comprehend nature. Only now in these days are we starting to hear from a lot of people who are actually brave enough to say "I don't know" when it comes to questions of how everything works. Religion is a crutch, and in my opinion probably holds the human race back in our thirsty quest for knowledge. Matt Dillahunty from one of my favorite shows: Caller: Tell me now why God is not real. Matt: Do you believe in unicorns? Caller: No! Matt: Why? Caller: Because unicorns haven't been proven to exist and are just a fairy tale. Matt: There you go. You are the best caller ever!

GeddysMullet Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I definitely encourage having respect for what other people believe, which is why I don't slam people for expressing their beliefs in their creative pursuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
