A young Alex Lifeson is seen here argueing with his parents over his future as a musician back in 1972. I think he turned out fine.

@Scavenger1994 This clip is part of the Allan King documentary "Come on Children", about 10 Canadian kids who wanted to get away from everything and everyone, so they lived alone for 10 weeks on a farm. One of the kids is Alex Lifeson. This scene is the one when the parents come to check on the kids.

I might be wrong, but i think he kinda succeded, just a bit... xD

@CityslickCaptain unfortunately you are right, people would rather get their free gov't money than actually make something of themselves....in which the band, particularly Peart, was warning us of the danger of collectivism and group think.

you don't need a goddamn degree to be sucsessfull ...its always been through hard work and persaverence with anything that you do in life...I have a G.E.D. and I make 70,000 a year in the utilitie buisness...plant operator. our ancestors became sucsessfull through hard work persaverence they certaintly did not have degrees let alone a college in their day in fact most people with degrees make less than I do ,high school teachers for example,wish it wasn't true but there it is

"Hey look! There goes Alex. Boy, he does have lots of money -- look at his car. He's doing well. I hear he bought a new house -- bigger than the last one. Nice place. And there's that club he owns, the 'Orbit Room'. Sometimes I go there. That's a nice place, too. I went there the other night, a while back, and there was Alex, playing his guitar with the house band. You'd never know he's a rock star. He's doing well. He's set himself up great."

I love it..."go to our gov't schools then go into massive debt at University", meanwhile the guy has all the unique talent he needs and made millions more than he would of...it's like a all star college QB who stay's his senior year and passed up millions and we say "how heroic"...my point is University is not the all in all.

I wonder what the other 9 kids are doing now?
