While the accompanying novel wasn't the best literature I've ever read, it was interesting to help bring the story in together.

​

And Headlong Flight is just awesome. Not sure what's not to get there. :)

Yep - received the announcement from amazon this morning.

There are numerous literary references in Rush songs if you're interested.

Have a look at this. It's from 1995-1996, but it's a good start.

"Clockwork Angels" has also been translated into a novel.

There are all kinds of Easter eggs in Rush's work, as well. The cover of "Clockwork Angels" is a clock face with the hands pointing at 9:12, or 21:12 in 24-hour time. I'll leave the rest for you to find. It's part of the fun.

Also, Geddy Lee changed the way I thought about music in 1996 when I discovered Rush, and made me a damn good bass player because of it. I don't want to brag, but I've never auditioned for a band and lost the part. In my current band, I beat out 41 other bass players for the part, and I'm 15-20 years younger than the other guys. Geddy inspired me to sit down and work on getting good. I've been playing bass for more than half my life (since I was 13 back in 1993), and it's probably the thing I'm best at, behind my actual (and less fun) job.

In short, some people don't get it, but Rush changed my life. Band mates are second only to family in loyalty, and I've met some amazing people along the way. I don't think I would have been afforded the experiences I've had if my girlfriend when I was 16 didn't get me "Exit... Stage Left" for my birthday.

Anyway, I'm rambling. Good luck to you on your class. I think you've got lots of material to work with in studying Rush.

Did you just get the album, or an advanced copy of the book? If so, I'm jealous. The rest of us have to wait until September 3rd.
