They were called the holy trinity- three musicians for good reason, as they set the standard of excellence and exploration- earning one of the most hardcore fan bases for any band of the Rock Era. Seeing one of their concerts was a supernatural experience. The story of one of their signature tracks- that is a companion unobtrusive….a song that's so illusive…is NEXT on Professor of Rock.

It's time for another entry into our show Number one in our hearts where we talk about a song that was so great it should've been a #1 Hit on the Hot 100 but for reasons unbeknownst to all of us, it came up short. Most to these songs that I've nominated for our program have actually done better long term than the song that were #1 at the time..

There are bands like the Grateful Dead, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Kiss, and Slayer, for example, that have rabid- loyal fans that have travelled to the ends of the earth to see them perform. Arguably, the band with the most hardcore fans is RUSH. It's my opinion that they do. And for good reason. They are mind-blowing. shake your head in disbelief great.

I have one friend, in particular, who, between 1974 and their retirement from touring in 2018, saw RUSH perform more than 100 times, and has the ticket stubs to prove it. RUSH fans were die hard because of their life-changing performances of their ground-breaking music. On this feature we spotlight one of those amazing pieces of music, one of my favorite songs by them, the one that made me a Rush disciple.…"The Spirit of Radio:"

Rush's extraordinary drummer, Neil Peart, was riding back home late one night from a weekend songwriting session at a little country escape in western Ontario, and he was just about to head down the escarpment into the city of Hamilton, when he was awestruck by the striking vision of the city lights below, and mesmerized by the sound of music playing on Toronto's legendary radio station CFNY-FM

The breathtaking scenery of the city skyline, and the music on the radio captivated his senses…and when the CFNY jingle came on the radio, the station's jingle gripped him, and never let go:
It was A slogan that evoked Neil's fond memories of growing up listening to the radio, with excitement & wonder.
FM radio in the late 60's to mid 70s had an underground- adventurous spirit.
