Rush – Tom Freakin’ Sawyer


I've got a couple of half-finished posts floating around but this will have to do for now. It's only the MOST EPIC SONG EVER. Lots of "most evers" these days, whoops. Only there's no sarcasm this time, as you can tell from the context.

    Rush is one of those bands (Journey, the Grateful Dead, Dave Matthews Band being some others I can think of) which have never really made it into the Australian cultural landscape. We have tons of American stuff, but there are these weird omissions – I’d love to know why some acts just don’t translate!

    You won’t get an argument out of me on this one. Rush is one of my favorite bands. A music geek’s band.

    Man, I haven’t heard that song in at LEAST 7 years. Even my Dad has just popped his head through the door and is all like “is that rush?”. Thank you for reminding me that this awesomeness exists :D
