   My friends, amidst my prayers for Rush's return, a thought occurred (or was   
   delivered) to me:  Maybe they need to get their feet wet, so to speak,  before   
   diving into the deep end and creating a whole album's worth of new music.    
   Maybe they should do    
   another album of covers!  Feedback II.     
      
   Now, there were some fans, influenced by the liberal media and probably latent   
   Leninists to begin with, who found the timing of the first Feedback   
   suspicious, emerging as it did as our Great President, George "Dubya" Bush,   
   invaded Iraq at Jesus' behest.     
   Some of these liberals felt that Rush, in releasing an album of mostly hippie   
   protest songs, were commenting critically on Dubya's Divine Mission.    
   Bwahahahahahaha!  They LOVE Dubya and his efforts to Spread the Word; that's   
   why Neil moved to the US, to    
   be closer to Texas.  Besides, the songs on Feedback reflected their *youthful*   
   influences.  We all do silly things as youths -- even Dubya himself, Neil's   
   primary inspiration as a mature ADULT, admitted sagely, "When I was young and   
   inexperienced, I was    
   young ansd inexperienced."  (Sounds like a possible refrain for Neil to work   
   into his next album of original or Dubya-inspired lyrcs.   
      
   Anyway, I feel in my Soul, that a Feedback II would be more overtly Christian,   
   because Neil & the guys don't want any further misunderstandings.  So it will   
   be explicitly pro-Christian, pro-Trump, Pro-Intelligent Design Science, and   
   pro-Alt-Right.     
      
      
   So given these definite parameters, what songs would you like Rush to cover on   
   Feedback II?   
      
   My #1 choice (and it WOULD be a big hit for the guys) is "Spirit in the Sky,"   
   by master songwriter Norman Greenbaum.  Rush, with practice, could probably   
   play the parts -- and Lord Knows they are behind the Message.     
      
   Now, there's a complication that arises in this world:  Should Rush cover   
   Norman Greenbaum's original version of the song -- or its cover by the   
   New-Wave band Dr. & the Medics?     
      
   You know, in the early 80s, I wasn't so sure where Rush, progressive rockers,   
   would stand on New Wave.  But suddenly, in the mid-80s, they couldn't shut up   
   about how much they loved it, and were attempting to work New Wave elements   
   into their music.  Why?   
     Because they had heard "Spirit in the Sky," as interpreted by Dr. & the   
   Medics!     
      
   So will they cover the original or the cover?  It will be a vigorous debate,   
   no doubt!  Maybe they'll do both!   
      
   What Christian-themed songs do *you* expect on Feedback II?
