  My dreams exceed my real life

  Ugh, what were they thinking? More like, "We need to feed our children, so we made this terrible song."

  Whores! we want "poems that kill."
  Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
  guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
  and take their weapons leaving them dead

  I understood this reference.

  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  AFAIK, Neil Peart later renounced his praise of Ayn Rand, although he still refers to himself as a "bleeding heart libertarian".

  Oh man, I love Limozeen!
  
  Also, Rush had some objectivist-flavored songs in the early days but kinda moved away from that.

  Nobody taught prog rock in my classes! Everything we covered after the sixties was either jazz fusion or Steven Reich!
