Music Thread (post a song)

No idea if it's still around but man, back in the day I'd love unwinding on a Friday or Saturday night with a few cold beers and little Texas Rebel Radio out of Fredericksburg. Turned me on to so much great music, from Texas and elsewhere.
 
Just met a local carpenter who bought Geddy Lee's new book at the local bookshop.

From an AP review ...

The book is enlivened by photos of scrawled lyric sheets, studio doodles and private emails as Lee traces the rise of a band who faced a pre-MTV landscape, a lack of coast-to-coast progressive radio network or sympathetic critics. One reviewer said he sounded like "a guinea pig with an amphetamine habit."

drummer and lyricist Neil Peart — go from sleeping on luggage in the back of a rented station wagon to five-star hotels. Along the way there are dubious sartorial choices like kimonos and lots of cocaine.

The band — considered the patron saints of brainy, technical, ambitious rock — leans on all kinds of sources, from the sci-fi of Robert. A Heinlein and J.R.R. Tolkien, to Ayn Rand, Rod Serling and Jean-Paul Sartre.

Book Review: Rock 'n' roller and Rush pioneer Geddy Lee goes deep in his memoir, 'My Effin' Life'

I'm not a Rush guy but love Limelight especially for the Shakespeare line.
