"Man, a rag, anagram!" It's been so long since I played this song it feels like I'm hearing it for the first time. It's so poppy that I wonder if the vocals are taken out and Neil's fills are removed whether I would pick it out as a Rush song at all. The keyboards are super 80s and remind me of something specific I can't place.

You said it. It's a weird poppy vibe for them, and lyrically off the deep end, but something about it still works for me. I love how this band always swings for the fences -- they don't always hit, but when they do, they knock it out of the park!

love the baseball reference to honor opening day of America’s pastime! Like Geddy, it’s my favorite sport and me I played until my sophomore year in high school.

:D Baseball is my happy place -- I don't know a damn thing about the statistics of it all, but I just love going to the ballpark and seeing a game. Just nothing like it.
