The man is alarmingly intelligent, so that his thoughts and concepts might have evolved/changed over these past 30 years is not a stretch.

Peart is a consummate professional. Even beyond natural talent, it is this attribute that has propelled him to such status as a drummer. As Geddy says, the man practices before he practices.

;D

How many greenies was Mentzer on there? At least he was articulate, had a personality, bashed authority, etc. compared to the monotone automatons they have in BB today.

Yes, Objective view of reality and rational self interest. Also, Capitalism is king and religion sucks. I am very confused that Paul Ryan marks out to Ayn Rand, but claims he is devout Catholic.

yep, that would be kinda strange for a devout Catholic to be such a radical objectivist, since Christ's message was basically to help and serve others ie. love one another

He's a Republican. They are more in line with Rand and less in line with Christ. Amazes me all the evangelical Christians and Born Agains who go Republican.
