PieFedThe band Rush just put out a handful of gross and lazy AI-gen music videos. So sick of this trend/degradation

This careless interpretation (if you can even call it that) completely misrepresents the meaning of the original work. It represents the idea of using a delicate touch to handle something with the idea of punching it like a child would instead. As another song by them put it:
“Don’t feed the people
But we feed the machines”

I don’t think Neil would approve of this.
Neil Peart was big into Ayn Rand. He would completely support this.
Only early on, like a lot of young men. He learned and grew like intelligent people do and realized her stories are just stories.
Nope. He stayed die hard Ayn Rand:
Nearly two decades later, in a 2015 Rolling Stone interview, Peart reaffirmed this worldview, calling himself a “bleeding-heart libertarian”

Do you know what ‘bleeding heart’ means? From your understanding, what is the difference between bleeding heart libertarianism and rand’s stark individualist libertarianism? This quote means he was not in favor of Rand’s stark individualism and instead favored bleeding heart libertarianism. Why don’t you read it that way? Why do you describe Ayn Rand as a ‘bleeding heart libertarian’?
Bummer!
I don’t feel like the lyrics in later rush reflect that myself. Obviously the anthem era did. Later on a lot of it became more about the human condition
Neil is proverbially rolling in his grave (I can’t determine if he was cremated or not)
Neil Peart stands alone.
