    I don't have many regrets, but not seeing these guys when they were touring will be one of them.

        I'm trying to find the story and striking out. I want to have it printed and hand it in my living room.

          Are you talking about the short story Neil based the lyrics on? You can find it here. It's called "A Nice Morning Drive".

            Thank you! I found the title of the story, but couldn't find the story itself.

      That reminds me of one of the best scenes from Freaks and Geeks, which is made all the more ironic since Joe Flaherty was himself a big Rush fan and even did some videos for the band in character...

    I know, but I'm sure some parts were cut out. A physical copy would be awesome.
