I’m 16 and I love the classics and some of the new music.

Another few movie themes from the same album. The singer is Mike Patton, best known perhaps from Faith No More



What have they done to its eyes?

Ian Anderson said he never took drugs but its hard see how that's correct watching this. 3.06 Is what I think insanity looks like OR lots of drugs.

He is acting for the video! Great stuff! The other guys are pretty laid back.

Sorry, you’re correct. I did some research he didn’t work for NASA, but he was a collaborator on the New Horizons probe.

This song has a very unique sound, but it’s my favorite song by Rush.



And I’ll also add a song by Pink Floyd.

Floyd are brilliant- so many to choose from.

A tear jerker. I had my heart ripped out once and refused to ever fall in love again. I remain single to this day.
