Oooh, I beg to differ.  The shallow-minded bimbos are just that--and I'm just
talking specifically about people I know, here--but this judgement is not
made based solely on their aversion to Rush because Geddy & Neil don't fit in
with their posters of Motley Crue and Bon Jovi.  And about that "completely
understandable terror" that overcomes them . . . I recall a similar look
passing over the faces of many guys I know--sometimes accompanied by a quick
crossing of the legs--when they first heard Geddy's falsetto on the earlier
recordings . . .

Methinks those in charge of the hatchets, axes, and saws missed one, here.

Don't think too hard.  It'll come to you eventually.  Maybe.  Then again . .
