    Giving some love to one of Rush's most underappreciated songs. And doing a great rendition of it too. Ben King nailed the tricky solo, and I loved Rocky doing the "whoa" (my favorite part of the song, actually). Just so no one feels left out -- Isamu and Mat are virtuosos themselves. Rush is tough music to cover, and you all nail it song after song.

    and failed to mention that the lyrics to this particular Rush track are lyrics that I’ve carried with me over decades of time and still ring true…particularly the style over substance metaphor, and it gets a bit worse with each generation as we seldom take the time to process more than a TikTok video’s length of dialogue without forming shallow opinions based on a very narrow thesis. A to B…different degrees…

You already have the higher-end on your vocals, but your control on your lower to mid register now is excellently notable giving you so much more to work with in your vocal presentation. Great vibrato in there too. Great job ! I enjoyed this performance.

    That’s too bad you can’t get over the fact that the two singers are just different. I love Rocky on all three CD’s. I’ve loved Patty since before YYNOT with her band the Mayhaps and her solo work on YT. I don’t really care whether you understand “Pattyheads” or not. The difference also comes in the form of stage presence. I’ll leave it at that. They both have completely different styles. BTW, the story behind the whole breakup is messy. I’ve got the whole email trail from start to finish. Sad affair.
