\"Rush<\/a>I turned 20 in February of 1985. I still can’t help but think of Al when he turned 20 on Mount Equinox in 1983. He seemed to grown up and everybody else seems too young. I’m intrigued by things like numbers and coincidence. I bring this up because this is post 220 and I’m talking about turning 20. I suppose I’d feel the same if I happen to be talking about turning 22. Nevermind.<\/p>\n

For my birthday that year, Aric gave me Moving Pictures<\/em>. He had been a Rush fan for a few years and was surprised that I didn’t know anything about them. I had heard Geddy <\/em>Leesing Take Off!<\/em> on the Great White North Album.\u00a0 <\/em>I suppose I heard some of their songs before but never made the conneciton.\u00a0\u00a0Aric was right. Rush <\/em>is a good band with an interesting sound and a plethora of great songs.<\/p>\n

They seemed to have many of the qualities of the music I used to listen to like Kansas<\/em> and Styx. They had a crisp delivery and some really nice orchestrations.\u00a0 With songs like Red Barchetta <\/em>and Tom Sawyer, <\/em> Moving Pictures was easy to get into. I also appreciated the humor behind the cover.<\/p>\n
