Not the Rush you were thinking of huh?

"A Farewell To Kings"

When they turn the pages of history
When these days have passed long ago
Will they read of us with sadness
For the seeds that we let grow?
We turned our gaze
From the castles in the distance
Eyes cast down
On the path of least resistance

Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude and
Scoffing at the wise

The hypocrites are slandering
The sacred Halls of Truth
Ancient nobles showering
Their bitterness on youth
Can't we find the minds that made us strong?
Can't we learn to feel what's right
And what's wrong?
What's wrong?

Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude and
Scoffing at the wise
Can't we raise our eyes and make a start?
Can't we find the minds to lead us
Closer to the heart?
 
Lol, from the title I thought you were talking about Limbaugh until I read the post.

I guess we could invite that Rush too, he claims to be disenfranchised lately.

A dynamic and innovative campaign would invite the radio Rush to this thing. He's so annoyed with McCain and the GOP establishment sellouts I could see him doing this.

He's never disparaged anything Dr. Paul says outside of foreign policy, and you know he loves to be "provocative".

I'm not saying it's likely, but I could see it, if he gave some caveat of disagreeing 100% on foreign policy, BUT.....
 
"The Trees" by Rush:

There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.

There is trouble in the forest,
And the creatures all have fled,
As the maples scream "Oppression!"
And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.
 
An underrated Ron Paul video. This trio would support Ron Paul. Too bad they are Canadian.
Notice this song is about our country.

"Beneath, Between And Behind"

Ten score years ago, defeat the kingly foe
A wondrous dream came into being
Tame the trackless waste, no virgin land left chaste
All shining eyes, but never seeing

[Chorus:]
Beneath the noble bird
Between the proudest words
Behind the beauty, cracks appear
Once with heads held high
They sang out to the sky
Why do their shadows bow in fear?

Watch the cities rise
Another ship arrives
Earth's melting pot and ever growing
Fantastic dreams come true
Inventing something new
The greatest minds, and never knowing

[Chorus]

The guns replace the plow, facades are tarnished now
The principles have been betrayed
The dreams's gone stale, but still, let hope prevail
History's debt won't be repaid

[Chorus]

Read these lyrics folks if you don't know Rush. They are freedom loving and are defenders of the individual.
 
"By-Tor And The Snow Dog"

Tobes of Hades, lit by flickering torchlight
The netherworld is gathered in the glare
Prince By-Tor takes the cavern to the north light
The sign of Eth is rising in the air

By-Tor, knight of darkness
Centurion of evil, devil's prince

Across the River Styx, out of the lamplight
His nemesis is waiting at the gate
The Snow Dog, ermine glowing in the damp night
Coal-black eyes shimmering with hate

By-Tor and the Snow Dog
Square for battle, let the fray begin

The battle's over and the dust is clearing
Disciples of the Snow Dog sound the knell
Rejoicing echoes as the dawn is nearing
By-Tor, in defeat, retreats to Hell

Snow Dog is victorious
The land of the Overworld is saved again


The second part of this song is the most intense jam I have ever heard.
This group of three is awesome, just awesome.

Yes indeed, Rush is my favourite band. They're just plain awesome, the skill they have with their instruments. Peart is by far the best drummer in the world and Geddy Lee is one beast with his bass. Not to mention Lifeson, a great guitarist.
And of course Peart is very intelligent and philosophical

I think you should try this out, they are on a tour in the USA in summer.
 
Also my lifelong favorite band. Saw them live about 4 years ago, 3rd row, single BEST time of my entire life and I ain't young :) While there is no way I can go to the DC march I am sure they would draw many many more people.

YAAAAAAY Canada :)
 
2112, Anthem, Free Will, Farewell to Kings, Xanadu, Subdivisions, (the one about the car -- can't remember the name lol) -- even Closer to the Heart and Spirit of Radio.

Throughout their music, there's a consistent ethic put forward, and it is very very strongly libertarian (specifically Objectivist).

Not to mention incredible music. : )

Great idea...I've been thinking for a long time that they would be awesome, were there an RP event notable enough for them to attend.
 
Seriously guys, could someone contact the campaign and ask them if they tried to get Rush to perform at the march. I think it could work.

"The Way The Wind Blows"

Now it's come to this
It's like we're back in the Dark Ages
From the Middle East to the Middle West
It's a world of superstition

Now it's come to this
Wide-eyed armies of the faithful
From the Middle East to the Middle West
Pray, and pass the ammunition

So many people think that way
You gotta watch what you say
To them and them, and others too
Who don't seem to see to things the way you do

We can only grow the way the wind blows
on a bare and weathered shore
We can only bow to the here and now
In our elemental war

We can only go the way the wind blows
We can only bow to the here and now
Or be broken down blow by blow

Now it's come to this
Hollow speeches of mass deception
From the Middle East to the Middle West
Like crusaders in a holy alliance

Now it's come to this
Like we're back in the dark ages
From the Middle East to the Middle West
It's a plague that resists all science

It seems to leave them partly blind
And they leave no child behind
While evil spirits haunt their sleep
While shepherds bless and count their sheep

Like the solitary pine
On a bare wind blasted shore
We can only grow the way the wind blows
