RushRash911 Episode 33. At The End

It’s Lerxst Day! Alex Lifeson turns 72, and what better way to mark the occasion than to let him completely hijack our wheel with the addition of all 11 glorious, weird, and wonderful tracks from 1996’s Victor. Because of course he wasn’t content to just chase tones and deliver bizarre spoken-words in live settings (and under bags) in Rush — he had to release an album that’s part prog fever dream, part jazz club, part stand-up routine, and somehow all Alex. Bubbles is a HUGE fan of this record, we think...

And as fate, or the Wheel would have it, we land on “At The End” — the brooding “death song.” Perfect for his birthday, right? Somewhere, Lerxst is raising a glass, laughing his head off, and probably playing Strip and Go Naked just to mess with us.

So here’s to you, Alex Zivojinovich..er, Lifeson. Happy 72nd, Lerxst! (Assuming Schatz got the math right…)

Rush news, general nonsensical disorderly conduct, lack of regard for correctness or truth, and reckless endangerment of your whole-brain. This is one of two podcasts dedicated to increasing opioid release in your anterior insula, your anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and your posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), in addition to the basal ganglia and the thalamus...and all that implies.  

Blah, blah...RushRash.
