I had a dream of a winter garden
A midnight rendezvous…
Silver, blue, and frozen silence
What a fool I was for you!
– N. Peart, 1989 –
Sorry…drinking a cold Cool Moon tonight, and reliving old winter memories, of a cold FULL moon, MANY decades ago… 😉

I have always loved most styles of music. The old jazz and big band set the stage for the rock and country genres. Ms. Fitzgerald is a prime example of one of the best of her time, and I do have a couple of her vinyls,
I do listen to streaming and digital, but I can still tell the difference and prefer the turntable.

“– N. Peart, 1989 –”
…as an apparent Rush fan, you probably appreciate how prophetic the “2112” album is proving to be…
“I lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of Megadon. City and sky become one, merging into a single plane, a vast sea of unbroken grey. The Twin Moons, just two pale orbs as they trace their way across the steely sky. I used to think I had a pretty good life here, just plugging into my machine for the day, then watching Templevision or reading a Temple Paper in the evening.
My friend Jon always said it was nicer here than under the atmospheric domes of the Outer Planets. We have had peace since 2062, when the surviving planets were banded together under the Red Star of the Solar Federation. The less fortunate gave us a few new moons.
I believed what I was told, I thought it was a good life, I thought I was happy. Then I found something that changed it all…”

BIG Ayn Rand fans, Rush were!

Dang SNS.
I have always liked Geddy Lee and the boys, and many of them are prophetic (working man, the trees, etc.
In the end, I might not like their individual feelings, but the songs do appeal to me.

LYRICS
LISTEN
PEOPLE ALSO SEARCH FOR
The night is black, without a moon
The air is thick and still
The vigilantes gather on
The lonely torchlit hill
Features distorted in the flickering light
Faces are twisted and grotesque
Silent and stern in the sweltering night
The mob moves like demons possessed
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right
Confident their ways are best
Oh
Oh
The righteous rise
With burning eyes
Of hatred and ill-will
Madmen fed on fear and lies
To beat and burn and kill
They say there are strangers who threaten us
Our immigrants and infidels
They say there is strangeness to danger us
In our theaters and bookstore shelves
That those who know what’s best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves
Quick to judge
Quick to anger
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand”
-Rush, “Witch Hunt”
…ironically, I think it was meant at the time as an anti-conservative rant, but it certainly fits today’s Communists to a T as well…
S’ok, kind of reminds me of another old tune that’s similarly sung but not as happy of lyric, maybe…
