You say recycle, I say homage. Potayto, potahto.
Anything that interests kids in searching out books...
blablabla. Fun to have read "The Fountainhead", then
sought out the Gary Cooper film, as a kid, because of
that band's influence.

Are you talking about "The Body Electric"? Android
similarities, but nothing beyond that. I don't *think*
he (NP) ever wrote anything directly relating to RB,
though Frank Black did ("Cult of Ray").
Personally, I've been disappointed with the last few
Rush albums, particularly _Test for Echo_. "Dog Years"
gets my vote for worst Peart lyrics. Silly metaphor,
bad rhymes, etc. Hoping they spring back to "must
buy" status in my book.
In college, I seriously lusted after a hanging poster
of Peart w/ drum kit on a wooden raft in the middle
of a river - it was a promo for Tama (I think), hung
in the window of the local music shop. Very cool
image.
