Lessons of Music

Rush was a band that got me in trouble.
Back in the mid to late 70s, my parents didn't really care what I listened to. We were far enough apart, and my stereo modest, using headphones my noise was never a nuisance. I think they actually liked some of my Yes.
The problem I had was when we had a revival preacher that was a real fire breather who preached about the devil, all of his works and his cunning snares for youth. Of course, it was this album that caused our conflict.
We fought over it but what really got me in trouble was for smarting off to the revival preacher who knew nothing about the album but was completely focused on the cover. I found this to be a recurring theme with narrow-minded people.
Of course, I replaced 2112 later and eventually had the pleasure of seeing Rush in concert three different times.
I doubt the band ever had in mind the other kind of lessons you could learn from their music.
