New World Man
"New World Man" is a hit single from the 1982 album ''Signals'' by Canadian rock band Rush.

It went to #1 (on the ''RPM'' national singles chart) in Canada, where it remained for two weeks in October 1982. It was the only single by a Canadian act to top the ''RPM'' chart that year. Less successful in the United States, it nonetheless remains Rush's only American Top 40 hit, peaking at No. 21 on the ''Billboard'' singles chart in October and November 1982. On the '' Cashbox'' Top 100, it peaked at No. 35. It also hit No. 1 on the ''Billboard'' Top Tracks chart (the first Rush single to do so). "New World Man" reached No. 42 in the United Kingdom. A remixed version (released as a double A-side with "Countdown") later reached No. 36 in the UK in early 1983. ''Cash Box'' said that "synth bl ...

The Spirit Of Radio
"The Spirit of Radio" is a song by Canadian rock band Rush, released from their 1980 album ''Permanent Waves''. The song's name was inspired by Toronto-based radio station CFNY-FM's slogan. It was significant in the growing popularity of the band, becoming their first top 30 single in Canada and reaching number 51 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It remains one of their best-known songs and was a concert staple. Background The introduction of the song was composed in a mixolydian mode scale built on E; most of the rest, barring repetitions of the introductory guitar riff, is in conventional E major. Guitarist Alex Lifeson explained the song's opening riff as "I just wanted to give it something that gave it a sense of static – radio waves bouncing around, very electric. We had that sequence going underneath, and it was just really to try and get something that was sitting on top of it, that gave it that movement." "The Spirit of Radio" features the band experimenting with a regg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The editor of the book, and possible author of the rhyme, was Thomas Ravenscroft. The original lyrics are: Attempts to read historical significance into the words have led to the speculation that this musical round was written earlier and refers to Queen Mary I of England blinding and executing three Protestant bishops. However, the Oxford Martyrs, Ridley, Latimer and Cranmer, were burned at the stake, not blinded; although if the rhyme was made by crypto-Catholics, the mice's "blindness" could refer to their Protestantism.
