Reddit reviews Permanent Waves

I'm sorry but we'll need you to turn in your Rush fan card for not remembering the title of a classic like "The Spirit of Radio". :)

[Metallica - Eye of the Beholder] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCuaPUVFbzg)

Not the strongest song from their ...And Justice for All album but it does get the message across. It's about the limitation and restriction of freedom of speech and freedom of expression The government, the elite and the media (one of whom or all three play the role of the Eye of the Beholder) assures the people that we have those rights to say, read, watch and do what we want but in reality, our freedoms are actually very limited and restricted to the Eye of the Beholder's liking as explained in this verse:

"Doesn't matter what you see

Or into it what you read

You can do it your own way

If it's done how I say"

In the chorus, it also mentions how they can use what you said or did against you by bending it.

"Independence limited

Freedom of choice

Choice is made for you my friend

Freedom of speech

Speech is words that they will bend

Freedom with their exception"

This, unfortunately, is what's going on to this day especially with many censorship advocacy groups (like the Parents Television Council for example) coming in and certain politicians who will be willing to give up parts or most of our rights to please the elitists, from whom they get big paychecks for doing their dirty work.

[The album Permanent Waves by Rush would be a nice addition to my collection.] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000001ESN/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2QB7Z2PVJMIHO&coliid=I1018XJ8IE5ZWM)

Sorry for the extremely long and even political entry but thanks for the contest. :)
