Pulp author Alexander Hellene has just come out with a unique book for music nuts. Unlike his usual tales of high adventure in action and imagination, he has instead decided to write about a band that did the same with their music. This is a book, not just about the band Rush, but about those they touched on a deeper level.
If you understand what is going on in the above cover, then you are most definitely the audience for this work. If not? Then you might want to find out for yourself what it means, and how it can affect so many. Just how does art touch us? That's a question that never fails to fascinate.
The description:
There Is Nothing Average About the Average Rush Fan!
Rush, the legendary Canadian progressive rock trio, has a legion of devoted fans. But what is it about the band that inspires such a loyal and dedicated fan base? And what is it about these fans that has created this powerful bond between artist and audience?
The story of these fans has never been told . . . until now.
- Exclusive interviews, including Donna Halper, the woman who broke Rush in the United States, and Ed Stenger, proprietor of RushIsABand.com, one of the biggest Rush fan sites on the internet.
- Detailed survey results illuminating what makes hundreds of Rush fans tick
- An exploration of the interest, politics, faith, and philosophy of the millions of people across the globe who find meaning in the music and lyrics of Rush
- In-depth fan profiles, where Rush fans tell their stories about what this band means to them
- Concert memories, personal anecdotes, and fan favorite songs and albums
Dreamers and Misfits presents a celebration of Rush's music and the fans who inspired and propelled the band to such dizzying heights.
One things is certain: there is nothing "average" about the average Rush fan.
Once again, you can find it here.
I know Alexander was driven to write this after legendary drummer Neil Peart died earlier this year, making this a real passion project for him. This is just one example as to how much of an impact the band had on many listeners. Not familiar with their sound? Take a listen to Moving Pictures, and grab a copy of this book, and you might just understand it yourself. Rush was a unique band worth understanding and thinking about.
Should you have any love of music and how it can affect others on a deeper level, then I definitely recommend picking this up today. Art is something to wonder about and discuss.
There is nothing else quite like it.
