I came across this quote from Geddy Lee of Rush. This is a question submitted by a Rush fan. Is there one song by another artist that makes you stop and think: I wish we'd written that? - Jonathan Miller, Birmingham GL: Oh, tons. Whenever I hear 'Solsibury Hill'.actually, most of Peter Gabriel's songs I wish I'd written them. There are so many. AL: The McDonald's restaurant theme song; it would have been great to have written that. The entire interview is here: http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/transcripts/classicrockoct2004.htm

Thanks Dwanwi! It made my day!

i agree!!! am a big rush fan too. thanks for this post.

I wonder if PF wishes he wrote Tom Sawyer

who is PF? PG - yikes got to pay attention when I type

I like this, haha! I've never been able to get into rush simply because i can't stand Geddy's voice. I should try sometime though.

I'm with you AAA, I don't like Geddy's voice (pitch), so I never got into RUSH, although I do admit he is one heck of a bass player. ~ someone showed me this video last year and it's funny. Celebrity Winter Safety Advise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9Hw2qaXm0I

hey Jen, at 1st I thought you did mean PF, as in Pink Floyd. but for me personally, I don't like the song Tom Sawyer - do you think this song is PG's style? I am closed minded to it, so I can't even see it's potential in the hands of Peter.

That's funny Moonie. Do you think he's still stuck there?

I've listened to RUSH since 2112... Interesting to hear, that Geddy's a PG fan! Thanks

Both Geddy and Peart consider PG to be among their favorite.

I adore the song "Tom Sawyer". Loved it as a kid, still love it as an adult. Always have to turn the volum up and sing along when it comes on, lol.

Love Rush and Tom Sawyer is one of my favourites too!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nlMosErgXw

what the heck is wrong with me? ... I just dont like that song!

Nothing is wrong with you, silly! Not everyone has to like the same things, although Kittens and puppies are different, lol.

We're all different Moonie I just downloaded the new Kate Bush and what a waste of time that was!! More like 50 words for boring!!

Oh crap I've done it again gonna get it in the neck again now!!

I like the song Tom Sawyer and a few other rush songs. I was joshing about PG wishing he wrote Tom Sawyer though

Nah Clothy Different strokes for different folks

Like them - seen them for many years - just a matter of pref from Grace under pressure: The body electric One humanoid escapee One android on the run Seeking freedom beneath a lonely desert sun Trying to change its program Trying to change the mode -- crack the code Images conflicting into data overload Chorus 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 SOS 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 In distress 1-0-0-1-0-0 Memory banks unloading Bytes break into bits Unit One's in trouble and it's scared out of its wits Guidance systems break down A struggle to exist To resist A pulse of dying power in a clenching plastic fist Chorus It replays each of the days A hundred years of routines Bows its head and prays To the mother of all machines
