How Rush makes art: 1 part heavy metal posing 1 part pretentious drivel 1 part old Yes riffs a synthesizer (WOW!!!!) Did someone say Journey used to be progressive??? Is the rehashing of old so-called jazz-rock, symphonic-rock, and igneous-rock albums now an approved dictionary definition of progressive? I guess so. I only wish I didn't know enough about this garbage to comment, but unfortunately it permeates the airwaves. What's a serious listener to do?? Please don't feed me the bull about "How dare you denigrate someone else's tastes? Everyone has a right to like whatever they want." For every "true artist" like Rush, there's a James Jamerson practically starving in Los Angeles. The ones who innovate are always fed upon by the hacks. -- Rich Rosen pyuxn!rlr
