TERRIBLE ANALOGY OF THE DAY!
That's right, it's time for everyone's favorite daily segment!
Let's say we're talking about hiking. The new style that all the big hiking gear producers are pushing is short shorts and a tank top with no bug spray or sun protection. A young hiker might stay with the times and pull off that look brilliantly, but at the end of the day he's going to have poison right up to his junk, sunburn on his back, and bug bites everywhere.
What I'm saying is, take 2 seconds to think for yourself and don't try to pull off a style that blows. One of the amazing things about Rush, through all their changes, is they took the best of what an era had to offer and put it into their sound while still sounding like Rush, and at the end of the day they always had great sounding records, until Vapor Trails, when they let the industry control them instead of them controlling the industry.
