  • "spirit of the radio to rally his supporters"- what is so hard about "the spirit of radio"?

  • Rush showed alot of grace and class in dealing with this copyright infringement as I would expect. Why? Rush views their status and the platform they have earned as a privilege that they gained from their fans. They don't use this privilege to create a political bully pulpit like so many ungrateful artists in our time. They continue to be amazing and are in a class of their own.

  • Terrible that Rush reacted that way toward Rand Paul. Rand believes in the Rush message of questioning the status quo, being an independent thinker, allow freedom of speech and decisions, end the wars, and get corruption out of the way mankind governs itself. There was so much crossover and Rand was only showing off his favorite band he grew up with. Sucks that Rush took it so personally as they did in '96 with the Working Man tribute CD by over a dozen virtuoso music paying homage to Rush.

  • @joverboss That is the most mis-quoted song title ever! I never could understand why, but knuckleheads have called it "Spirit of the Radio" ever since it came out. Even Guitar World (May 1993) used the wrong title on its complete sheet music! At least the tabs were accurate :)

  • At 28 seconds in, she says "the band is not 'signaling' Paul out". She should have said "singling Paul out". Maybe it was a nod to Signals, the awesomest album of my childhood!

  • @joverboss I thought I was the only one who heard that. God, that grated on my ears. Good catch!

  • @joverboss yeah, exactly. the song has a name. figure it out.

  • @alleyhse Kudos !

  • I am offended by the pro Republican commercials I am forced to suffer through to see a vid. WHY is Youtube promoting these clowns anyway?

  • Rush is my favorite band, and if I had to choose, Rand's father Ron would be my favorite politician. It's not like were talking square fits into circle here. They are both modest people who's higher up's are pressuring this argument. The best thing commenters can do is take a deep breath and think objectively.
