Actually body style is somewhat close to what I just bought, and I've had
6-7 Toyotas in a row until this car. I also wouldn't do a personalized
plate, and would never put a sticker on my car.
Here's what I just bought a few weeks ago (not the exact car, just an
image I googled):

Geddy Lee's "8 octaves above speaking frequency" voice is the 2nd most
obnoxious part about Rush.
What's the #1 reason to hate Rush? Rush fans, of course.

I've been a Rush fan around 30 years

Check out the Counterparts or Test For Echo albums. His voice is much

Uh, no
It's the song about how the suburbs try to shove you into a prefabricated
slot, and perhaps you don't wanna be
Any escape might help to smooth the unattractive truth

Uh, no.
It's the song about a gay boy who feels out of place
having to hide his sexualty, and resorts to having butt
sex with ugly people in the back of cars and in the
dirty basements of bars in his hometown.
Then he goes to San Francisco and it feels more like
home (feeling of belonging) because he can openly
cruise for the butt sex, and can be 'lit up' anywhere.
Neil wrote that one iirc, you might be able to find
the interview where he explained the meaning of
the song online.
HTH,

I just watched the video, the kid looks like a serial killer in training.
I don't like things unless they are about serial killers. Let me have my
fun.
BTW, why do Rush fans like that song so much? It is one of the ones I've
always felt was kinda blah.

Amazingly, many of them felt like someone was trying to shove them in a slot
they didn't want to be forced into

I'd take anything in their catalog over ANYTHING by Rush.

Ok, so you're gay.

Don't bitch slap me!
Bitch slap google:
http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd227/Diputsur/4bel.jpg
Or Neil (he might like it!)
LOL
Beldin the Sorcerer
The lyrics aren't about sexual orientation.
Neil's surely not homophobic, but he ain't gay either
RUStupid Mark
Do you know what 'cruising' meant in the early 80's?
What do you think he meant by: "Cruising for the action" ?
Keep in mind, this is 1982 (just 2 years after a movie
about the gay subculture was released, care to guess the
name of the movie?)
"Lit up like a firefly" - hmm, isn't that the insect with
the glowing butt? What do you think he's referring
to there Beldin? =) How does one light up like a
firefly? =)
Soooo gay. I'm actually surprised you didn't
already know!
Beldin the Sorcerer
Not the BS you're implying
The song's about growing up in the suburbs, guy
don't be a fuckin' retahd
RUStupid Mark
The song wasn't about high-school kids, retahd!
How old was Neal Peart in 1982?
Ah, the video! Is that why you mistakenly believed
the song to be written about high school kids?
Well, watch it again closely. You'll see that HSK#1
in the video looks loving after HSK#2 on more
than one occasion, and is not happy about the fact
that HSK#2 likes icky girls (it actually depresses him).
Boy <3 Boy, but feels out of place in his hometown.
Has to go to the city to find man-love.
Just as I stated in my OP to this thread.
But don't take my word for it, google and take
it from Neil! =)
RUStupid Mark
PS: I know it's hard to believe... I was in denial too
when I first found out Rob Halford was gay!
That really screwed me up in the head for a while when
he initially came out of the closet, as I had met him a year
prior (got to go backstage at a Priest concert) and I had
never even *considered* the possibility that my hero was
a flaming homo! I just took for granted that he mistaked
me for a chick (because of the long hair) when he asked
me to blow him... and only did it because he'd have never
given me the autograph otherwise (I still have that t-shirt
framed, he signed it just above the jizz spot!)
In time, you'll learn to accept him for what he is. =)
A great drummer, no?

No, the fact that he said it was about growing up in the Suburbs, and the
cookie cutter existence of it of growing up then, you moron.
Sprawling on the fringes of the city,
In geometric order,
An insulated border
In between the bright lights, and the far unlit unknown
Growing up it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone
Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone
Now, what part of "Growing up, it all seems so one-sided" don't you
understand?
The damn chorus talks about shopping malls and high school halls.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Peart
While Peart was visiting long-time Rush photographer Andrew MacNaughtan in
Los Angeles, MacNaughtan introduced Peart to his future wife, photographer
Carrie Nuttall. They married on September 9, 2000. In early 2001, Peart
announced to his bandmates that he was ready to return to recording and
performing. The product of the band's return was the 2002 album Vapor
Trails. At the start of the ensuing tour in support of the album, it was
decided amongst the band members that Peart would not take part in the daily
grind of press interviews and "Meet and Greet" sessions upon their arrival
in a new city that typically monopolize a touring band's daily schedule.
While Peart has always shied away from these types of in-person encounters,
it was decided that having to needlessly expose him to an endless stream of
questions about the tragic events of his life was quite
unnecessary.[19][20][21]
Since the release of Vapor Trails and reuniting with his fellow band mates,
Peart has returned to work as a full-time musician. Rush has since released
a cover EP, Feedback in June 2004 and their 18th studio album Snakes &
Arrows in May 2007, which were supported by three additional tours in 2004,
2007, and 2008.
In the June 2009 edition of Peart's News, Weather, and Sports, entitled
"Under the Marine Layer", he announced that he and Nuttall were expecting
their first child[22]. Peart and Nuttall's first child, Olivia Louise Peart,
was born on August 12, 2009.

What does that have to do with the fact that he liked to eat tube-steak in
1971?
I don't knock the guy for experimenting in his youth, or for writing songs
about
the struggles of gay men. You're the only one that seems to take issue with
the
facts =)
RUStupid Mark
Right. Not many formerly gay guys continue to go to gay
parties after deciding they're straight. I recon some would
be afraid they wouldn't be able to resist the lingering urges.

The second verse of that song is about a young woman who got killed

True.
But Author's Intent carries quite a bit of weight, wouldn't you say?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleasant_Valley_Sunday
"Pleasant Valley Sunday" is a song by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, most
famous for the version recorded by The Monkees in 1967. Goffin's and King's
inspiration for the name was a street named Pleasant Valley Way, in West
Orange, New Jersey.[1] The road follows a valley through several communities
among the Watchung Mountains. The lyrics were a social commentary on status
symbols, creature comforts, life in suburbia, and "keeping up with the
Joneses".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subdivisions_(song)
"Subdivisions" is a Rush song that describes peer pressure for teenage life
in the suburbs.
I would contend that, while both deal with life in the suburbs, they go in
markedly different directions

Well if it had been repossessed I'd guess Jerry 'numb nuts in vegas'. If
it had a "Blame America First" bumper sticker I'd guess Bea. If it had a

Also from Success Under Pressure:
Geddy states: "Well, we wanted the album to sound different and we also
thought that the packaging should have a different feel. When we were
talking about Signals, Hugh had this concept of taking the idea down to a
basic human level - territorial or even sexual. So that's how the design
with the dog and the fire hydrant came about. The little map on the back
features make-believe subdivisions, with a lot of silly names and places.
The red dots represent all the fire hydrants and basically the whole thing
maps out a series of territories."
Hmm... sexual territories?
Beldin the Sorcerer
A) Geddy didn't write the lyrics
B) No. Nothing to do with sex
C) The map is a baseball field.
