The Genius Of RUSH's "Tom Sawyer"

One of my favorite songs. If Tom Sawyer comes on, I don't care what I'm doing; the world around me will become my personal drum set.

My ears lost their “Tom Sawyer” virginity when I heard it as Kerry Von Erich’s entry song while watching wrestling. My 14 year old jaw hit the floor.

I have always been more of a 70’s Rush fan, but that was their peak. They went a little downhill in the mid 80’s kinda when Getty had that Mullet Fro.

Time Stand Still might be their best song. Don't care what they look like.

Well they never looked cool. They Admit it. The Back picture of 2112 is pretty funny with their Ninja Robes.

I can't remember which band biography I read where Rush was one of their early openers. It was basically saying they almost aggressively didn't want to enjoy the perks of rock stardom.

Nope. Geddy Lee is immediate female deterrent.

They toured with Kiss

I love All the Worlds a Stage. After Moving Pictures, the music got too soft and technical with the keyboards.

Tom Sawyer is great and here is another one I like a lot

Maybe. I think it is, without a doubt, Peart's best lyrics.

Favorite song on that album. Red Barchetta second. Tom Sawyer is a bit overplayed.

RUSH for me is that band that I have a ton of respect for but never got into. Those guys are really, insanely good, but just not my thing.

It has to be top five on classic rock stations. And I dont mean this in a good way:
Rush: Tom Sawyer
Fleetwood Mac: Go Your Own Way
Def Leopard: Photograph
Boston: More Than a Feeling
Journey: Dont Stop Believing
Rush: Tom Sawyer
Fleetwood Mac: Go Your Own Way
Def Leopard: Photograph
Boston: More Than a Feeling
Journey: Dont Stop Believing

Pretty sure it was Kiss. They toured with them when they put out Fly By Night or it was 2112 or somewhere in there. Nerd Rock Rules!

My truck is in the shop, hit a deer down at my Camp on Lake Bistineau so I'm in a rental in Shreveport. No Sat radio.
Guess what? not only does Shrevepitt have a super classic classic rock station, they have TWO super classic classic rock stations!!!!!! Its funny every once in awhile you can hear Journey Dont Stop Believing on one station then you can go to the other and.....same song.

If you put Creep by Radiohead on there, that would be registered as the official song list of white people.
Don’t Stop Believing is already the white national anthem.

Couldn't get Tom Sawyer on the radio in Baton Rouge except for WBRH, the high school station.
