Jesus is not a partisan. Death does not distinguish between political parties. Jesus is the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world. If Neil knows this much, he knows enough.
As for the Marxists who agitate against all that pertains to the life of the world to come, they will find out soon enough what is Truth.
Thanks for the article. Yes - their new album is great. While maybe not my favorite (yet) - they are at the top of their game. And as a Christian, I wonder if Peart will find what the Truth is some day. He gets pretty close some times, and every once in awhile I’ll say a prayer for him.
It makes for good conversation with the kids though to discuss in detail a bit about the lyrics and his ideas - both old and new.
Yes because killing unborn babies, destroying whole generations of the urban family and enslavement are all Christian articles of faith.
Neil also recently stated his Ayn Rand influence was something from 40 years ago. He started wearing his agnositicism/atheism on his sleeve since Snakes and Arrows, then the whole Rush Limbaugh thing this year. I didn’t buy the new record, as it or S&A just didn’t speak to me. I could be wrong, but I sense they want that Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.

Pop was not my scene and they came out very pop. "Fly by night blah blah blah blah..."
When that song charted -- and I guess that was about the first I noticed them because you couldn't not notice them -- I was listening to WXRT, which was turning me on to David Johansen and Joe Jackson.
Sounds like he’s taken a passage to Bangkok.
Wrong, Neil. Jesus is mutually exclusive of the other two, and is a jealous God.
I love his drumming, and most of Rush's songs, but the guy spouts nonsense most of the time. But Geddy does it, too.
This scumbot is paid to hit empty objects with sticks. I dont need his views on religion or politics
Not, Yes, Rush.
This Neil guy has no Logic. He thinks God and Allah are the same AND BUDDHA!!! Geeezzzz. How can you even start with such “thinking”.
He thinks believing in Jesus and being a Republican is harder than being a DEMOCRAT and CHRISTIAN-—is he JOKING????? Does he know that Sodomy is a Vice and so is KILLING babies-—and it has been EVEN IN THE USA until rather recently. Republicans don’t embrace Vice in a government based on Rule of Law—which by its very Nature—has to promote Virtue-—Justice.
Jesus loves Virtue and Justice-—God is Justice, Truth and Good, etc. Everything out of zero’s mouth are LIES. Sodomy in the military-—glorification of Satan!!!
...and since when is it JUST to sodomize and degrade other human beings and give them diseases-—just because you have a selfish “urge” to do some perverse, insane act???? You classify it as “GOOD????”
When can a Just society have Laws like THAT???? Cicero-—whose concept WE USE-—stated that you have UNJUST laws—ARBITRARY LAW—when you don’t use Right Reason According to Nature (Natural Moral Law).
It is sickening—the way liberals minds “work”—they are so brainwashed and conditioned in believing Good is Evil and Heather has two mommies—their perverse reality is truly that of “Alice in Wonderland” but Alice would be getting laid-—and they would think it is so Progressive and cool—but it would be by a Lesbian, of course, like their perverse, ugly literature they glorify—V. Monologues.
Cher Bono would approve too—but in a sane world she would be in prison for allowing some Lesbian to rape and destroy the life and happiness of her daughter, Chastity.
” Because I know at the end of it, if I’m going to meet Jesus or Allah or Buddha, I’m going to be all right.”
Right there’s the giveaway. He knows NOTHING of Jesus, otherwise he wouldn’t be leaving it to chance. He’d KNOW which ‘god’ he was meeting at the end of it.
He obviously wouldn’t know what Republicans really stand for either. That’s the biggest problem with the lefties: we READ their actual words and search their actual meanings and intents, in order to understand who they are. They, on the other hand go only for the stereotypes, name-calling and false innuendo that THEY make up themselves.
Just shut up and play the drums, eh.
I have always found his playing style to be too theatrical.
His "fills" are overdone and his drum kit is simply for show.
As I have gotten older I have come to see the greatness of Ringo Starr. His 4 piece drum set, and two cymbals and a high hat, give enough percussion and the correct flow to the fills without being overstated.
Regardless, they deserve it. The same lineup for all these years, plus some of the best musicians in the world in their respective fields.
Heck, Iron Maiden hasn't yet been inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame, and they inspired an entire generation of metal bands almost single-handedly. Without Maiden, there's no Helloween; without Helloween, there's no power metal. Likewise, without Dream Theater mixing Rush and Iron Maiden as influences, there's no progressive metal.
A huge, huge part of rock would not exist today without Rush.
I was listening to WXRT
My man. My favorite, til I moved away. Yeah, they did play a lot of Joe Jackson then. A Terri Hemmert fave, I believe.
one of the best stations ever. I still hear tunes in my head that I cannot find a trace of anywhere on the web — remember “Shipyards?” Can’t find a thing about it. “Checking out the Checkout Girl?”
