Democrats lied to you about every major issue for 160 years. Prove me wrong. Name one thing they didn't lie about.

When they were not burning crosses in someone's front yard, they were lying. It's what Democrats do.

You and the rest of the blue team throughout Si are so out of touch to what's relevant. The Bidens make a perfect representation of the American government these days. It's been desecrated.

Koan loves this song, produced by a band that dedicated their albums to Ayn Rand...

Message 33776001

Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand, comrade Jamie...

Look around this world we made
Equality
Our stock in trade
Come and join the Brotherhood
Of Man
What a nice contented world
Let the banners
Be unfurled
Hold the Red Star proudly
High in hand.



Side one of the album is occupied by the 20-minute futuristic science fiction suite "2112".

The seven-part track is based on a story by Peart, the band's primary lyricist, who credits "the genius of Ayn Rand" in the album's liner notes.

Rand, a Russian-born, Jewish-American novelist, and inventor of the philosophy of Objectivism, wrote the 1937 dystopian fictional novella Anthem, the plot of which bears several similarities to 2112.

All members read the book.

Peart added the credit to avoid any legal action. In the British paper NME, Barry Miles made allusions of the Rand influence to Nazism, which particularly offended Lee, whose parents were Holocaust survivors.

The first and last sections, "Overture" and "Grand Finale", respectively, are instrumental and borrow a short sequence from 1812 Overture by Pyotr Tchaikovsky.

The "Overture" features an introduction from graphic designer and musician Hugh Syme performed on an ARP Odyssey synthesizer with an Echoplex Delay pedal.

Music writer and professor Rob Bowman calculated that in the entire piece, 2:34 of the song contains improvised guitar solos.

"Overture" contains the lyric "And the meek shall inherit the earth", a reference to the Biblical passages Book of Psalms 37:11 and Matthew 5:5.
