"Anthem, Rush
My Music Video Of the Week this week . . .. Another song from Rush's second album, Fly By Night, marking its fiftieth anniversary this year. "Anthem," which took its title from an Ayn Rand novel but has many themes borrowed from her other works, set the standard for the main theme of drummer Neil Peart's lyrics - the individual of the system. When the U.S. Senate voted for that obscene tax and budget bill, the system was set against us, the same individuals who suffer at the hands of selfish billionaires like Jeff Bezos.
For all that talk about fighting back in solidarity with each other . . . it makes more sense to worry about yourself, because this country will not survive. I remain a secessionist, thinking that it's best for anti-Trump states to go their own separate ways, and whether we libre in "red, "blue," or "purple" states," it's time we look out for ourselves, since looking out for each other is only going to get us incarcerated by the state.
Maybe some of the more liberal northern states can become provinces of the country Peart, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee originally hailed from - Canada.
Well, I know they always told you selfishness was wrong, but it's not for you, it's for me I posted a video of this song.
Yes, I know they told tyou selfishness was
