Luckiest Music Generation: Rush - Free Will

My hearing seems clear today at last, so I'm back, at least for today.

A discussion about non-voters made me think of Rush's "Free Will," in particular the verse, "If you chose not to decide, you still have made a choice."

By not voting, they're still voting. For the status quo. What's ironic is that they're the very ones who whine the loudest about how nothing ever changes, it's all bad--well, that's because you kept voting for it to stay the same...by not voting, you fricking nitwit!

Anyway, here's the music:

This is the album cut, not the radio version, but sometimes this full length version got on the local Top 40 station. Usually when it was that part-time DJ you just knew was a long-haired stoner.

You didn't have to see him.

You KNEW.

1. Respectable, but Level 1 nerddom set to music

Level 2 nerds would argue that the Cosmos is deterministic and doesn't allow for true free will.

2. The live versions are always so killer.

[Genki Hikari]

3. Well, to some that's true

This thing I do here is about what we heard simply by turning on a standard radio in the 60s-80s. Live stuff didn't come through that filter very often. FM rock stations, sometimes, but Top 40 stations? Nope. Not much of that.
