JohnRogers Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 He like his two band mates continue to strive at improving their craft. He chose to write deep and fanciful lyrics instead just hormone pablum. He knows and appreciates that Rush is truly a collabritive effort. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Like many of us, he's an introvert that's managed to make a successful career in a public forum, and so has changes lives for the better. That's no small feat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madrushian Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Because he cares about the fans in his own way.You can say what you want but he suffers through pain and fame for 40 years to enertain you the fans tour after tour. Regardless of his views or personality this tour only happened because he sacrificed his time for you. Remember he lost his wife and daughter but instead of living his life out quietly. He continued to tour and make music for your enjoyment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I like Neil because he wrote these lines: Freeze this moment a little bit longer. Make each sensation a little bit stronger. All of us get lost in the darkness. Dreamers learn to steer by the stars. There's something here that's as strong as life. I know that it will reach you!The spaces in between leave room for you and I to grow. I believe there's a ghost of a chance we can find someone to love and make it last. Everybody got to deviate from the norm. I can't pretend a stranger is a long-awaited friend. Better the pride that resides in a citizen of the world than the pride that divides when a colorful flag is unfurled. If I could wave my magic wand, I'd make everything all right. Wave after wave will flow with the tide and bury the world as it does. Tide after tide will flow and recede leaving life to go on as it was. The future disappears into memory, with only a moment between. Forever dwells in that moment. Hope is what remains to be seen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Six Stars of the Northern Cross In mourning for their sister's loss In a final flash of glory Nevermore to grace the night ... and I have memory and awareness, But I have no shape or form. As a disembodied spirit, I am dead and yet unborn. I have passed into Olympus As was told in tales of old, To the city of Immortals, Marble white and purest gold ... Have taken me across the universe too many times to count 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 The night is blackWithout a moonThe air is thick and stillThe vigilantes gather onThe lonely torch lit hill Features distorted in the flickering lightThe faces are twisted and grotesqueSilent and stern in the sweltering nightThe mob moves like demons possessedQuiet in conscience, calm in their rightConfident their ways are best The righteous riseWith burning eyesOf hatred and ill-willMadmen fed on fear and liesTo beat and burn and kill They say there are strangers who threaten usIn our immigrants and infidelsThey say there is strangeness too dangerousIn our theaters and bookstore shelvesThat those who know what's best for usMust rise and save us from ourselves Quick to judgeQuick to angerSlow to understandIgnorance and prejudiceAnd fear walk hand in hand... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
