[bit.listserv.allmusic] Ayn Rand and 2112

GRUTZ@UNTVAX.BITNET (Priest of Syrinx) (02/13/90)

If you check the lyrics off of the CD, Cassette, Album, whatever, you'll see
that Peart give acknowledgement to Ayn Rand on the lyrics.  You should pick
up _Anthem_ by Ayn Rand (also a RUSH song.. guess Peart liked her works.. :)
and read it... it corrolates directly to what Peart wrote about in 2112.

Objectivism isn't practiced that much anymore.  There is an Ayn Rand society
around, but there are only about 2,000 or so members..  Neil didn't make
any knocks against Objectivism... Ayn Rand's works are really good... if you
can stand reading 1000 pages of Atlas Shrugged, it is a *great* novel...
