My bro Steve sent along this excellent article about Rush’s masterpiece, Moving Pictures, which came out a gray-hair-popping thirty years ago.
I’ve listened to the album a couple times in tribute, and yes, it’s just one of the very best ever made.
I’d never heard of “A Nice Morning Drive” by Richard S. Foster. It’s a pretty good story. I have to say I like Rush’s adaptation of the storyline better than the original, though.
And I did not know that “YYZ” was named for the ID code of Toronto International Airport. But I’ve never flown to Toronto, so why would I?
