   This brings up the infamous Miles interview.  That was forty years ago.   
   Got something more recent?  Neil has since distanced himself many times   
   from Ayn Rand, describing his fascination with her back then with the   
   words "I was a child!" and "I am nobody's disciple" and "the influence   
   of Ayn Rand on my work has been highly overestimated".  Yes, he was   
   different back then, but he has changed.  He has grown up.  :-)  And he   
   was NEVER conservative.  Forty years ago, he was an extreme libertarian.   
   This interview is the origin of the "Rush are fascists" myth, which   
   Neil put to rest with the great one-liner "Right, we're the only Nazi   
   band with a Jewish bassist".  :-)

   Was he ever a Christian?  What about Geddy, who describes himself as a   
   cultural Jew, though non-believing?   
      
   You are one seriously delusioned dude.
