Song of the Day, 2/26/04 - Bob Schroeck - 02-26-2004 Basic elemental instinct to survive Stirs the higher passions Thrill to be alive Alternating currents in a tidewater surge Rational resistance to an unwise urge Anything can happen... From the point of conception To the moment of truth At the point of surrender To the burden of proof From the point of ignition To the final drive The point of the journey is not to arrive Anything can happen... Basic temperamental filters on our eyes Alter our perceptions Lenses polarize Alternating currents force a show of hands Rational responses force a change of plans Anything can happen... From a point on the compass To magnetic north The point of the needle moving back and forth From the point of entry Until the candle is burned The point of departure is not to return Anything can happen... I set the wheels in motion Turn up all the machines Activate the programs And run behind the scene I set the clouds in motion Turn up light and sound Activate the window And watch the world go 'round From the point of conception To the moment of truth At the point of surrender To the burden of proof From the point of ignition To the final drive The point of a journey Is not to arrive Anything can happen... -- Rush, Prime Mover -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. Re: Song of the Day, 2/26/04 - jpub - 02-26-2004 See, that's what I like about you Bob, you've got _class_. What me, a long-time hardcore Rush fan? -- Christopher Angel, aka JPublic The Works of Christopher Angel Re: Song of the Day, 2/26/04 - Bob Schroeck - 02-27-2004 So, like, I hooked you on DW when Doug made his first appearance before the Sabers to the tune of "Tom Sawyer"? -- Bob --------- There's no wrong way to eat a Rhesus. Re: Song of the Day, 2/26/04 - jpub - 02-28-2004 Umm. Actually, "Tom Sawyer" is one of my less-favorite songs. My favorites? "Time Stand Still" "Hold your Fire" "Turn the Page" "Marathon" Re: Song of the Day, 2/26/04 - Valles - 02-28-2004 "One Little Victory" here, thanks. Blessed be. -n =========== =============================================== "V, did you do something foolish?" "Yes, and it was glorious." Re: Song of the Day, 2/26/04 - Bob Schroeck - 02-29-2004 To be absolutely honest, I am nowhere near as conversant with the oeuvre of Rush as I would like to be. I have one live album, and a bunch of MP3s, and a desire to buy more... and that's it. "Prime Mover" just happens to be one of the MP3s I have. -- Bob --------- There's no wrong way to eat a Rhesus.
