[edit] First song to deal with Communism?

This line puzzles me: "'Red Lenses' would mark the first Rush track to deal with communism." Does "The Trees" (from 1978's Hemispheres) not count? Aside from the fact that it doesn't include the word "Soviet", it seems much more clearly anti-communist than "Red Lenses". Maybe the line should read, "'Red Lenses' would mark the first Rush track to explicitly deal with communism?" --דוד ♣ D Monack 07:00, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Never mind The Trees, what was 2112, if not an anti-totalitarian parable? The "red star" was no coincidence, eh?

Agreed. I removed the line. --dm ^(talk) 00:05, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Geddy's bass

I'm going to add a few notes about Geddy's use of the Steinberger bass on this album, the seen in the "Distant Early Warning" video. It's a core element of the album's "modern" sound, but he dropped it by the next album -- Stereoroid 15:57, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Need Picture

"Grace Under Pressure reached #10 on The Billboard 200 and went Platinum in the US upon its 1984 release. On the back cover is a remarkable band portrait by the photographer Yousuf Karsh." - Well lets see it!
