Thoughts from the future
Two things stand out – I absolutely love those videos, and the last line of my summary is a load of nonsense – the answer to that question is an awful lot of them, but I’m trying not to be too hard on myself; what I wrote then is what I thought then, I’m just older now…
Anyway, since then, I’ve listened to 2112 a whole bunch of times – my children gave me the 40th anniversary box set for Christmas a couple of years back, and while there’s not much new to be said about it (famously, Rush just don’t have unheard versions or leftover songs on the cutting room floor), it’s a magnificent thing in its own right, and well worth your hard-earned cash if you’re like me.
Which, given that you’re reading this, you probably are, at least a bit.
