    Relevant Rhetoric, Vol. 7 (2016): Rush’s Lyrical Rhetoric of Oppression and Liberation Rush’s Lyrical Rhetoric of Oppression and Liberation: Extending “Freedom Songs” into the Progressive Rock Genre Brett A. Barnett Associate Professor of Communication Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania [email protected] Relevant Rhetoric, Vol. 7 (2016): Rush’s Lyrical Rhetoric of Oppression and Liberation 2 On April 18, 2013, members of the Canadian power trio Rush were among the artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a well-deserved honor that was long overdue. Formed in August 1968, Rush would join artists like Pink Floyd and Yes in shaping the music movement that would come to be categorized as “progressive” rock, or “prog rock,” a rock music sub-genre that Rush. Photo credit: By Enrico Frangi (Uploaded by User:Jonasz) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons also developed in the late 1960s.1 As reflected in the music of Rush, progressive rock involves more advanced musical forms, including an expanded instrumental palette and increased com- plexity in terms of instrumentation, as well as more sophisticated lyrical themes ranging from unconventional subject matter to increased social commentary. After years playing on the Toronto music scene, Rush formed their own label, Moon Records, and shortly thereafter released their first album, Rush, in 1974.2 Rush’s self-titled debut album did not garner much attention until Cleveland’s WMMS (100.7 FM), widely regarded as one of the most influential rock radio stations in North America,

  • How Is Rush Canadian?
    Rush and Philosophy 2nd pages 3/11/11 1:56 PM Page 287 21 How Is Rush Canadian? DURRELL BOWMAN Given Canada’s relatively small population (twenty-one million in 1969, thirty-four million in 2009), many—but certainly not all—of the nation’s more ambitious musicians have pursued at least some of their career activities in the US and other foreign parts. Rush mainly demonstrates “Canadianness” by combining such British and American influences as progressive rock, hard rock, and indi- vidualism. However, the band has also included more specifically Canadian references across its long career. CanCon The Canadian government implemented specific content—or “CanCon”—regulations in 1971, and broadcasters were then required to include certain percentages of Canadian material. For music, at least two of a song recording’s four main categories of Music, Artist, Production, and Lyrics (“M-A-P-L”) must be “Canadian” according to citizenship or location. The interpretation of this changed after 1991, due to a “scandal” involving Bryan Adams failing to qualify as Canadian because of co-writing certain songs, such as “(Everything I Do) I Do it For You” ( Waking up the Neighbours and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves , both 1991), with such non-Canadians as Mutt Lange and Michael Kamen. (Spelling the word “neighbours” in the Canadian way apparently didn’t help.) The outcome is that even though Shania Twain similarly co- wrote the songs on Come on Over (1997) with her then-husband Mutt Lange and did not record any of this music in Canada, her album and its songs by that point qualified as Canadian.

School has started. The days are becoming shorter and cooler. Fall is in the air. It is a time of year when many working Americans, especially empty-nesters, can finally plan their summer vacations. Prices are lower; the crowds have thinned and they can hope for a more peaceful get-away. Or can they? All too often long awaited vacations turn into one extended weekend at the beach. Vacations are an important ingredient in the recipe for a happy and fulfilled life. Unfortunately modern life seems to be ever more busy and more hectic. Research indicates that for most Americans a perceived lack of time is a major source of stress. One in every three Americans state that they “always” feel rushed (Elliot, 2003). When we skip vacations, the lack of unencumbered free time leads to an increased risk for physical and psychological problems including depression and heart disease. When Americans do manage to get away, it is all too often for a long weekend during which they remain “connected” to work through the computers, iPhones, and iPads that they bring along.

  • Lauro Meller ∗
    COLERIDGE REVISITED: ROCK VERSIONS OF “THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER” AND “KUBLA KHAN” Lauro Meller ∗ Introduction There has been a growing interest in Popular Music studies in the past few years, covering a number of approaches that range from sociological to historical, from linguistic to literary. In this paper, we will investigate how two flagships of English language poetry, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” and “Kubla Khan”, by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, were put into music respectively by rock bands Iron Maiden and Rush (who opted for calling their song “Xanadu”). For the analysis itself, we will use concepts both from theory of literature and music theory. We strongly recommend that the reading of this paper is done with access to the recorded versions, so that the process by which the poems made the leap from the printed page can be unveiled more easily. Last but not least, we hope this paper helps elucidate the similarities and differences between poetry and song lyrics, and also that it contributes to the insertion of Popular Music in the academic debate. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner Coleridge’s strange and magnificent The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is one of the most visited pieces of English poetry by readers and specialists alike. It tells the story of a navigator who approaches a wedding guest in order to tell him his story. Bewitched by his glaring stare, the guest cannot help but listen. The Mariner then starts his narrative, giving account of the occasion when he strong winds deviated his ship to the glaciers of the South Pole, being fortunately saved by the guidance of an Albatross – “the bird of good omen”.
