Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture gab Average	#1 by gab gonzalez at Aug 5, 1988 at 4:20 PM EST
	This is one of the many songs in which Neil shows his opposition to communism and the Cold War. He's glad that communism has fallen, but what are we supposed to do now? All those people opressed under a authortarian government for so many years. Well, there is nothing we can really do. Time to dismantle our bomb shelters and get back to living normally.

No Picture tane Wanna Be	#2 by tane at Feb 14, 1994 at 11:22 AM EST
	I'm with NEMT on this one. The song is about the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe. There is an anger in this song saying "OK - so Communism has ended. What about the years of heartbreak, fear, suffering and damage? What are we gonna do about that?

No Picture Nicole Average	#3 by Nicole Brownfield at Jul 6, 1998 at 11:08 AM EST
	The song is about the fall of Communism is Eastern Europe. There's nothing about "North American consumerism." Rush has released many songs about the ills of Communism.

No Picture Joe Average	#4 by Joe Montana at Dec 3, 2000 at 7:13 AM EST
	The first verse appears to be written about the fall of communism in russia (Roll the Bones was released in 1991). The second verse to be a critiscism of North American consumerism. The third verse seems to deal with the cold war. I think the entire song deals with the impact that political conflicts between nations have on civillians
