Wind Parted Hair

What happened? Have people self-destructed? Strangely, only now that I begin to garner no repsonses to my posts (the only real reason for me to post is to get much needed attention) do international visistors begin to filter in. They refuse to comment on anything though, so I throw dirt and glass their way just the same. Well, I'm not here (in the electro-world) to waste my time or yours (unless you consider reading this very sentence a waste of time....... ..... or following my line of periods). So here's the feature of the week:


Rush - Middletown Dreams Lyrics


The office door closed early

The hidden bottle came out

The salesman turned to close the blinds

A little slow now, a little stout

But he's still heading down those tracks

Any day now for sure

Another day as drab as today

Is more than a man can endure



[Chorus:]

Dreams flow across the heartland

Feeding on the fires

Dreams transport desires

Drive you when you're down

Dreams transport the ones who need to get out of town



The boy walks with his best friend

Through the fields of early May

They walk awhile in silence

One close, one far away

But he'd be climbing on that bus

Just him and his guitar

To blaze across the heavens

Like a brilliant shooting star



The middle aged Madonna

Calls her neighbor on the phone

Day by day the seasons pass

And leave her life alone

But she'll go walking out that door

On some bright afternoon

To go and paint big cities



From a lonely attic room



It's understood

By every single person

Who'd be elsewhere if they could

So far so good

And life's not unpleasant

In their little neighborhood

[Chorus]

They dream in Middletown


Just another awesome example of Rush encouraging the youthful dreamer to stray away from the gray, brainwashed suburbs of the Canadian metro areas. But, idiots, the real message is that it doesn't matter where you are, it isn't as bad as Neil Peart might have you believe, because all those hopeless dreamers, rebels, and artists end up having their electricity shut off which leads them to eating dry processed food in the dark, which eventually either leads them to prostitution or moving back into the places formerly considered by Rush to be "mindless human waste devices." The latter interpretation is Geddy's of course, who decided on this album that he would take no more of Neil's shit liberal banter about trees, subdivisions, red barchetta's and 2112's. Just check this out if you don't believe me. It proves all this without a doubt.
