Way back in Episode 67, I had the pleasure of speaking with Maiah Wynne about her involvement with Envy of None, a project featuring Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson, on which she sang lead vocals. Maiah is back with her debut solo album, and the talented singer-songwriter has made an exquisite first solo impression with Out of the Dark, a heartbreakingly beautiful collection of songs that span 10 years of her life. In addition to discussing the album's songs track by track, Maiah was kind enough to talk about what's next for Envy of None, some of her struggles that led to the new album's themes, Lifeson's involvement on some of the songs on her album, learning about making videos, and more.

Picture this: It's a crisp January morning in 1980. The new decade is fresh, brimming with possibility, and you're flipping through the racks at your favorite record store. Disco is slipping out of fashion, punk's rebellious roar still echoes, and the New Wave is gathering momentum. Amidst all this change, Rush—a band known for their sprawling progressive rock epics—is about to redefine themselves.The moment you unwrap Permanent Waves and place the needle down, something shifts. The opening notes of “The Spirit of Radio”cut through the speakers like a beacon for the new era. You're swept into a world where Rush balances complexity with accessibility, progressive rock with mainstream ambition. The album was a turning point for a band about to define their legacy.A Balancing Act Between Complexity and AccessibilityPermanent Waves, recorded at the now-legendary Le Studio in Morin Heights, Quebec, marked the beginning of Rush's iconic 80s run. With Terry Brown returning as producer, the album showcased a deliberate pivot. Gone were the sprawling epics of Hemispheres (1978). In their place were tightly constructed, thematically sharp tracks that leaned into shorter runtimes while still showcasing the band's virtuosity .This album reached number four on the U.S. Billboard 200 and number three in Canada, earning gold and platinum certifications. Not only was it a commercial success, but it also marked the first time the band broke even on a tour, thanks to nine months on the road supporting the record .A Showcase of Rush's EvolutionThe album opens with “The Spirit of Radio”, an anthem to music's transformative power. Lifeson's shimmering guitar riff, Peart's intricate drumming, and Lee's powerful vocals meld into a track that bridges progressive rock and radio-friendly melodies. Its unexpected reggae breakdown was a bold experiment, cementing the song's status as a classic.“Free Will”, the second single, explores existentialism with blistering technical interplay between guitar and bass. Meanwhile, deeper cuts like “Jacob's Ladder” unfold like a storm—a dark, atmospheric journey that builds into an otherworldly crescendo.A surprising inclusion as a single was “Entre Nous”, released in April 1980. Despite its relatively low profile in Rush's live sets, it encapsulates the album's lyrical intimacy, proving that even Rush's quieter moments pack a punch .Is Rush Metal?The Permanent Waves episode of Dig Me Out reignited the perennial debate: Is Rush a metal band? While their technical prowess and influence on the genre are undisputed, Rush has always been more at home in progressive rock. However, their heavier tracks, like those from 2112 and even moments on Permanent Waves, ensured they earned respect among metal fans and artists alike .Why Permanent Waves Still ResonatesWith its release, Permanent Waves wasn't just another Rush album; it was a declaration of intent. The band embraced the future while honoring their past, delivering an album that remains a cornerstone of progressive rock. Decades later, it's still finding new fans and delighting old ones. As a Dig Me Out listener said: “This album has grown with me. I've owned it on every format, and it never gets old” .Dust off your vinyl or pull it up on your favorite streaming platform—Rush's Permanent Waves deserves a fresh listen.

Over the course of his long career, the Rush guitarist has shape-shifted through the classic rock universe. From mid-'70s hard rock through the band's more progressive tendencies, into the beating heart of the '80s, and finding a (relatively) leaner approach by the turn of the century, Lifeson—aka Lerxst—always found a new way to add space and dimension to Rush's dense sound. Lifeson's unique lead and rhythm playing has been celebrated with a range of signature gear that speaks to his broad sonic palette.Supported by ToneSpeak: https://www.tonespeak.com/Get at us: 100guitarists@premierguitar.com Call/Text: 319-423-9734Podcast powered by Sweetwater.

Geddy Lee, the vocalist and bassist for the iconic progressive rock band Rush, shares his life story in his memoir "My Effin' Life." From his childhood in Toronto, where he faced bullying and found solace in music, to his lifelong musical partnership with guitarist Alex Lifeson (Alex Lifeson), Lee recounts his journey with honesty and humor. Lee's memoir delves into his early life as Gershon Weinrib, the son of Holocaust survivors. He describes his struggles in school and his eventual decision to drop out to pursue his dream of becoming a rock musician. Along the way, he meets Lifeson, and together they form Rush, a band that would go on to achieve legendary status. The memoir also touches on the passing of Neil Peart, Rush's drummer, who died in 2020. Lee reflects on their friendship and the profound impact Peart had on his life and music. Planet LP host Ted Asregadoo, a longtime Rush fan, provides a detailed and personal review of Lee's memoir, offering insights and anecdotes that resonate with fellow Rush enthusiasts.

Fly By Night is the album where Rush takes its final form.  Original drummer John Rutsey left the group shortly after their eponymously named debut album was released.  Health problems related to diabetes made it difficult for Rutsey on tour.  He was replaced on bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee's 21st birthday by the soon-to-be legendary percussionist, Neil Peart.  Together with guitarist Alex Lifeson, the trio would become icons in the prog rock genre. Most of the material for this album was written while the band was on tour opening for Uriah Heep and Manfred Mann.  Rush went into the studios for about 5 days to record the album, which was mixed by January when the group flew to Winnipeg for a concert on January 15th.  Fly By Night would also be the album in which Peart takes over much of the lyrical work with the songs, while Lee and Lifeson compose much of the music.  The lyrical styles are noticeably different between the first and second album, complete with literary themes which reflect Peart's habit as an avid reader.This album is also the one which saw Rush moving in a decidedly prog rock direction.  This could be attributed to Neal "The Professor" Peart's lyrics, but the entire band wanted each song to show a different side to their writing and playing, creating a diversity of styles in the tracks.Friend of the show Sean Mooney stands in for WTR Rush Ambassador, Bruce Fricks to bring us this classic prog rock album.  AnthemThe lead-off track to the album was originally conceived by Lee and Lifeson while Rutsey was still in the band.  The name of the track is from an Ayn Rand novella, as do the lyrics.  Peart's inspiration by Rand would return when the group penned their fourth album, 2112.Beneath, Between and BehindThis is the first song to feature Peart's lyrics.  It was about the discovery of America and the birth of the United States.  The lyrics reference the American dream and growth as well as some darker history like wars and immigration.  "Beneath the noble birth between the proudest words behind the beauty, cracks appear.  Once with heads held high they sand out to the sky why do their shadows bow in fear?"Best I CanOne of two tracks written before Peart joined the band, this song's music and lyrics were both penned by Geddy Lee, and the song saw regular performance during Rush's first North American tour.  The lyrics have a more rock theme than Peart's more literary efforts.  "Don't give me speeches 'cause they're oh so droll.  Leave me alone, let me rock and roll."Fly By NightThe "hit" single from the album leads off side 2, and peaked at number 88 on the Billboard charts.  The lyrics reflect Peart's first trip away from home when he traveled from Canada to England.  "Fly by night, goodbye, my dear.  My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend." ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the motion picture The Stepford WivesThis dystopian sci-fi thriller finds a couple in the town to Stepford, where the women mysteriously transform into submissive domesticated housewives. STAFF PICKS:Song for America by Kansas Wayne leads off the staff picks with the single cut to a 10-minute epic paying tribute to America.  It reflects the beauty that can be seen from a jet, but also the ugliness of industrialization.  The 5/4 time interspersed in the song marks it as a prog rock masterpiece.Jackie Blue by Ozark Mountain DaredevilsRob brings us a cool groove about a woman in pursuit of happiness, but who never stays with anything long enough to find happiness.  The original inspiration was a guy they met in Los Angeles who was strung out on drugs.  Drummer Larry Lee takes lead duties for this song which made it to number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.#9 Dream by John Lennon Lynch features a song released before he was born from Lennon's "Walls and Bridges" album, which coincidentally went to number 9 on the charts.  The song literally came from a dream Lennon had, with no inspiration.  The "mystery voice" in the background is Lennon's girlfriend at the time, May Pang.  Several of the lyrics are nonsense words.Adam's Apple by Aerosmith Sean finishes the staff picks with a deep cut from Aerosmith.  The lyrics are inspired by the story of the temptation of Adam and Eve in Genesis chapter 3.  It appears on Aerosmith's album "Toys in the Attic," which Steve Tyler wanted to name "Love at First Bite" at one point, a line from this song. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Express by BT Express We finish off this week's podcast with in instrumental hit from the early disco era.

In this solo installment of Shred With Shifty, host Chris Shiflett shares juicy unreleased footage from previous episodes, rates fan submission solos, and fields questions from viewers. This week's Shred With Shifty keeps the spotlight on our intrepid host and shameless shredmeister, as Shifty kicks things off with a swift hammer-on ascent up the neck. Next, he shares a few ace videos submitted by fans where they tackle Alex Lifeson's solo on Rush's “Limelight,” though Shifty has some choice words for one shredder's choice in guitars. (Plus, he duets one lucky Foos cover band expert's rendition of the solo on “Long Road To Ruin.”) Shifty shares some unseen clips from his conversations on the pod thus far. He talks Epiphones versus Gibsons with Lifeson, soccer fandom and arthritis with Rivers Cuomo, and guitar-painting with Lindsay Ell. Best of all, Nile Rogers dishes on how he rescued David Bowie's dismal “Let's Dance” demo. To round out the show, Shiflett answers questions from viewers. He talks about his love for Strymon's Iridium and how they fit into his solo shows, plus he reveals what he's playing through on Shred With Shifty. Later on, he recounts how a malfunctioning amp during “This Is A Call” ended with a smashed guitar, his favorite pedalboard picks (“Put like 15 pedals on your pedalboard and go to the races!”), his amp-switching rig and pre-show warm up routine with Foo Fighters, and how to play his leads on Foos' emotional new track, “Under You.” Look out for the next episode of Shred With Shifty, when Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora joins Shiflett to teach him the screaming solo for "Dead Or Alive."

On the first episode of the new podcast series Shred With Shifty, which features host and Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett getting a front-row lesson from our favorite guitar heroes, Shiflett learns the solo from Rush's “Limelight” with a little help from the man who wrote it, Alex Lifeson. According to Shiflett, Lifeson's lead on the song “does exactly what a great solo should do. It's a scene change, it's kind of emotional, it builds, and yes, it shreds.” Shiflett recalls that in context, both “Limelight” and Moving Pictures, the 1981 Rush record that featured the track, were stylistic and structural departures from the rock ‘n' roll fare of the day. Compared to Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, and KISS, the Canadian prog-rock trio were practically avant-garde. Lifeson joins Shiflett from a meticulously maintained studio den he built in his apartment (“I'm a virgo,” Lifeson admits), and talks about early influences like Allan Holdsworth, Jeff Beck, and Andy Summers. The first solo he learned was from Cream's “Spoonful,” but even after Rush's international success, he says he never felt confident in his ability. “I've always been a little bit insecure about my playing,” he says. “I always felt like I could be better than I was.” And despite Rush's infamously complex arrangements and each member's dazzling technicality, Lifeson remembers that there were occasionally some “trainwrecks” onstage. “With our music, if you got lost, boy, it was hard to get back,” he grins. While memories of the “Limelight” sessions are imperfect (“That was 43 years ago. I can't remember things from 40 minutes ago,” Lifeson quips), the guitarist recalls using a modded Stratocaster with a vibrato arm to record the song's solo in five or six takes, which bassist and vocalist Geddy Lee and producer Terry Brown then comped into the final version. The idea was to create a solo that reflected the isolation and fragility of “living in the limelight.” “The solo I really wanted to echo that feeling and that sense of loneliness,” he says.

The second half of Greg's chat with RushCon creative director and "Rush Fan in Chief" Jillian Maryonovich is finally here! Having covered so much ground about Jillian's background and connection to the band (as well as her time as White House Creative Director during President Obama's second term), the stage is set for some full-on Rush geekery! Find out what Rush-related comic Greg absolutely hated, which Rush songs and albums Jillian would erase from existence for charity (and which ones she would do for free), how the band told off the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in the most Canadian way possible, why you should learn to stop listening to the naysayers and give this band a chance, and so much more!  Robots From Tomorrow is a twice-weekly comics podcast recorded deep beneath the Earth's surface.

In preparation for the second half of this interview later this week, we present Part 1, originally broadcast on July 29, 2021. Robots is a show built on being a fan of something. While the fandom in question is usually comics, today's episode deviates from the norm a bit as Greg kicks off a 2-part chat with Jillian Maryonovich about fandom in general and their shared passion for the Canadian rock trio Rush. in particular. Jillian was not only in the front row for Rush's final show ever, but has appeared in two documentaries about the band. In her capacity as Creative Director for RushCon, she has spent years helping fans make memories and new connections over a shared love of the group and its music. She is also not a stranger to tours of a different sort, having been on staff for the political campaigns of Pete Buttigeig and one Barack Hussein Obama, including four years as the White House Creative Director during President Obama's second term. She may not have come up with the title "Rush Fan in Chief" but we think it's as apt a description as any.

Join Podcast Patreon In this episode I get to sit down with previous guest of The Motorcast the legend that is Harley Flanagan. In this conversation we had a chance to really go deep on his and the bands early years, what shaped their sound and a scene that shaped them as people. This is about as honest as it gets.    There is also the usual/unusual look at metal news, a load of ego, an apology for Dave Mustaine, shit for Blabbermouth, sympathy for Lifeson and the first ever Taking Bollocks Coach Trip threatens to become a thing.   This Is Fifth Gig Bollocks.  Video Interview  

Truly an honor to talk to Alex Lifeson, former guitarist of RUSH, and his band mate now, Andy Curran, from their new group "Envy of None." We had buckets of questions about RUSH, RUSH fans, and how Alex is adding layers to the sound of Envy of None. I was a nervous wreck...here's the interview...

Robots is a show built on being a fan of something. While the fandom in question is usually comics, today's episode deviates from the norm a bit as Greg kicks off a 2-part chat with Jillian Maryonovich about fandom in general and their shared passion for the Canadian rock trio Rush. in particular. Jillian was not only in the front row for Rush's final show ever, but has appeared in two documentaries about the band. In her capacity as Creative Director for RushCon, she has spent years helping fans make memories and new connections over a shared love of the group and its music. She is also not a stranger to tours of a different sort, having been on staff for the political campaigns of Pete Buttigeig and one Barack Hussein Obama, including four years as the White House Creative Director during President Obama's second term. She may not have come up with the title "Rush Fan in Chief" but we think it's as apt a description as any. Robots From Tomorrow is a twice-weekly comics podcast recorded deep beneath the Earth's surface. You can subscribe to it via iTunes or through the RSS feed at RobotsFromTomorrow.com. You can also follow Mike and Greg on Twitter. Stay safe and enjoy your funny books.

With the release of Moving Pictures, Canadian power trio Rush moved to their highest level of commercial success.  Bassist and lead singer Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and percussionist extraordinaire Neil Peart were established at the top of the prog rock genre, and this eighth studio album would be their most successful studio release in their career, becoming so when it crossed the quadruple platinum level of sales.The band had originally planned to release a live album at the conclusion of their tour for "Permanent Waves," but Neil Peart encouraged them to change direction towards a new studio release based upon interesting material they were creating during sound checks on tour.  The album itself was more accessible than some of their early work.  While most songs would clock in at over 4 minutes (and "The Camera Eye" was over 10 minutes long), the pieces were still more radio-friendly than longer pieces like Hemispheres and 2112.  The music and lyrics cover topics like travel, individualism, and fame.The album cover art consists of a group of movers transporting canvas art (moving pictures), onlookers who are crying at seeing the art (moving pictures), and a film crew recording the entire scene (making moving pictures).  There is simply no bad track on this album, and Bruce found it difficult to determine which songs to feature.  We encourage you to purchase or download Moving Pictures for your repertoire if you don't already have it.  Red BarchettaAlthough not released as a single, this is a fan favorite, and one of their most accomplished lyric stories.  Neil Peart's lyrics were inspired from a short story by Richard S. Foster called "A Nice Morning Drive," written in the November 1973 issue of Road and Track magazine. It is about a country drive during a time in the future when cars had been outlawed by "The Motor Law."LimelightThis piece reflects Peart's mixed feelings about fame, and is the second single from the album.  Many times Lee and Lifeson would interact with the public while Peart would remain away from the crowds.  Some of the lyrics reflect a line from Shakespeare's "As You Like It," as does the title of their first life album, "All the World's a Stage."Vital SignsThe last track on side 2 takes a more reggae feel, similar to The Police.  It also has more in common with more synth-heavy pieces which would appear on subsequent Rush albums like Signals and Grace Under Pressure.  The music is about individuality and conformity, a theme often recurring in Rush's catalogue. Tom SawyerUndoubtedly, this is the most famous Rush song.  It was written by Rush in collaboration with lyricist Pye Dubois of the band Max Webster, and pays homage to the free-spirited individualist confidently striding through the world.  Although the first single, the leading track to the album, and the most successful song, Tom Sawyer peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 44.  Most concerts late in their career would open with this song. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main Theme from the television series Diff'rent StrokesThis comedy series addressed many social issues, and would take a more serious tone with a 2-part episode addressing pedophilia in this month. STAFF PICKS:Turn Me Loose by LoverboyBrian's staff pick stays with the Canadian bands, featuring the first breakout hit by Loverboy from their debut album.  While the band appreciated the success, they were less pleased with the S&M community, who adopted it as a kind of "theme song" of their practitioners.  Miss Sun by Boz ScaggsRob brings us a song first recorded in 1977 by a group of session musicians who would become Toto, and those musicians worked on the Scaggs version as well.  The Toto musicians participated in Scaggs' ciritical and commercial hit album "Silk Degrees" in 1976.  Miss Sun peaked at number 14 in February.  It has a jazzy chord progression.People Who Died by The Jim Carroll BandWayne's staff pick features a punk-infused song from Jim Carroll, whose biography inspired the film "The Basketball Diaries."  The movie deals with Carroll's heroin addiction.  The song mentions the name of a number of Carroll's friends and acquaintances who had passed away.  Jim Carroll himself died in 2009.I Ain't Gonna Stand for It by Stevie WonderBruce's staff pick highlights a country-oriented song by R&B legend Stevie Wonder. Wonder plays piano and drums on this song, and is joined by backing vocalists Charlie and Ronnie Wilson of The Gap Band.  You may also be familiar with a cover of the song done by Eric Clapton in 2001. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:YYZ by RushWe sneak in one more from Moving Pictures with this instrumental homage to the Toronto airport.  The initial percussion is Morse code for the letters YYZ - the three-letter code for Toronto.

This week we pass into Olympus as was told in tales of old! That's right, it's Hemispheres! We've called various Rush albums masterpieces, but Hemispheres is a masterpiece's masterpiece.

So run to build your cities and converse among the wise with us!

In today's message we dive into Luke 1:1-4 and ask the question is it true? Is what Luke reports in his writing true or false, because these are the only two options when it comes to this question, it's either true or it's false. If you say it's false then there are only two logical options to consider:They made it all up, and it's the biggest hoax and lie ever told in the world, which would make it the greatest conspiracy of all time, leading to the argument of the conspiracy theory. This is view isn't entertained by many scholars, but there have been many popular writings and even movies written based on this theory.They didn't intentionally make it all up, they heard what they believed to be true about the person of Jesus, and continued to tell the story based on what they understood to be true, so they were carrying forward the legend of Jesus. This theory is more popular among scholars and the legendary theory has been spun several different ways throughout history.In our message today Pastor Harold will respond to these two theories over the course of a couple different messages, and the goal is to help the atheist, agnostic, and/or believer solidify why we can put their faith and trust in what Luke has to share with us about Jesus Christ, the Bible, and the church. We hope this message helps grow your faith, and gives you some foundation to argue from when you are asked why you have the hope in your life as a believer.Thank you for supporting our ministry, be sure to like LifeSon

APRIL of 1976 “2112” by Rush Bruce brings us one of his all-time-favorites. This album is the one where Rush became RUSH. In the wake of "Caress of Steel" their third album which was neither a commercial nor a critical success, Mercury Records considered dropping the band. Ray Daniels, manager for Rush, negotiated to have the group make one more album. The label wanted them to make more accessible songs — shorter— with more singles. NOPE. Instead, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart created an album in which the entire first side was an Ayn Rand-influenced distopian sci-fi epic! Join us as we take a journey past the Temples of Syrinx where creativity and individualism have been banned in the year 2112. “2112 part 1 - Overture” This was the last song recorded of the 2112 epic. It is an instrumental summary of the entire piece, similar to classical symphonies of the past, and has a brief nod to the 1812 Overture. “2112 part 2 - The Temples of Syrinx” Geddy Lee's lyrics are very high and sometimes unintelligible. This portion introduces the powers that rule the world - the priests of the temples of Syrinx, who ban creativity and individualism. “2112 part 3 - Discovery” We are introduced to the protagonist, who finds a guitar and learns how to play it. What can this strange device be? Rush received a lot of criticism for writing an Ayn Rand - inspired piece. “2112 part 4 - Presentation” The priests are not as excited about the discovery as the protagonist expects. They destroy the guitar. “2112 part 5 - Oracle: The Dream” Alex Lifeson rips off a great guitar solo to start this section. Lifeson and Lee have been friends since the 8th grade. This section tells of a dream of another planet outside the Solar Federation where creative people still live. “2112 part 6 - Soliloquy” It was all a dream, and the protagonist takes his life rather than live in captivity. “2112 part 7 - Grand Finale” But was it all a dream? ENTERTAINMENT TRACK: “Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow” from the TV Show, Baretta Robert Blake's hard knock cop show. STAFF PICKS: “Elliptical Seasons” by Star Castle Wayne was excited that this progressive rock group from Illinois has a similar feel to Yes. Terry Luttrell, frontman for Starcastle, was also the frontman for REO Speedwagon “Golden Years” by David Bowie Rob shares that this was written and recorded for (and ultimately rejected by) Elvis Presley by the ever-changing and terribly creative David Bowie. This song reached number 10 on the charts. “Union Man” by the Cate Brothers Brian likes this track because in the mid 60's the Cate Brothers were a "country soul" act from Arkansas, but had their "one hit wonder" with this funk rock fusion song in 1976. “Sara Smile” by Hall & Oates Bruce is bringing this top 10 hit, written about Hall's then-girlfriend, Sara Allen, who contributed to a number of songs including “Private Eyes” and “Maneater.” INSTRUMENTAL / LAUGH TRACK: “Lumberjack Song” by Monty Python I'm a lumberjack and I don't care....Monty Python received a big boost in 1976 when PBS began replaying their "Flying Circus" show from the BBC

In Episode 42, you will hear some of our favorite moments from Season 1, during which our guests talked with us about many topics, including:   How we can advocate for orphaned and vulnerable children and work together to alleviate the orphan crisis How we can help to prevent the proliferation of orphaned and vulnerable children by working to alleviate poverty, strengthen families, and disciple young men and women Orphanages, short-term missions, adoption, foster care, mentoring, human trafficking addressing the effects of trauma, and other hot topics in orphan care How all of these issues are interconnected and need to be addressed in concert with each other And much more!
