What Are You Listening To?
Ever since Rush announced that they have found their new drummer, Anika Niles, and have announced that they will start touring againwith their new drummer, I found myself immersed in Rush songs. And...I cannot even escape Rush even when I am not listening to them on my own as I watch hockey or even the World Series and in the background either the stadium's DJ or the arena's DJ or the TV channel itself, will play Tom Sawyer or Limelight. Even Spirit of the Radio. I'll listen to many of Rush's songs from the 70s and 80s on youtube. But I have been playing Limelight more than the others. I have to apologize to Rush fans everywhere. To Rush and Geddy Lee himself. I was too immature to fully appreciate Geddy Lee's singing. I always LOVED Rush's sound. Their music. Their instrument playing and mixing and all that they do is just extraordinary. 3 awesome talented musicians and their sound is just soooo powerful. Just 3 of them. 3. I always respected that aspect but I never liked Geddy Lee's voice. I always thought he sounded awful. Until now... He does sing great. I just now...realized how great he is. He has a certain tone to his voice that I never "got" and I mistakenly judged him for it. I always knew that Rush's music would not be the same if not for Geddy's unique voice but I didnt like it and that made me not like Rush. Again...until now. I have turned the corner with Rush and now I could say that I am a fan. Canuck Rock Rules!!! -
