Neil Peart of the band RUSH
This is a Memorial to the best drummer in the world who just died in January. A beautiful man. Very thoughtful, deep thinker, heavy reader…even before a concert. We are talking heavy stuff. He wrote most of the lyrics for Rush. Very intelligent man!
I was listening and reading the lyrics to “Farewell to Kings”. Made me think of today’s politics. Here they are.
“When they turn the pages of history. When these days have passed long ago, will they read of us with sadness? For the seeds we let grow?“
“Eyes cast down on the path of least resistance.
Cities full of hatred, fear, and lies. (Peaceful protesters?). Withered hearts and cruel tormented eyes. Scheming demons (media) dressed in kingly guise. Beating down the multitude. Scoffing the wise. The hypocrites are slandering the Halls of Truth. (Truth?)
“Can’t we find the minds that made us strong? Can’t we learn to feel what is right and wrong”
Thank you Neil!
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
To be continued….
Losing our freedom
