Rush – The Trees
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

What a band!!
Neil Peart in my book the best drummer in rock n roll and probably all genre. Neil also wrong much of the lyrics as well.
To see the type of person Neil Peart was take a listen to this interview:

(not in the original post) I believe Neil led the “Burning for Buddy” tribute to Buddy Rich.

I was listening to a late-night sports talk show shortly after Mr. Peart’s death, and the host took an entire segment to talk about Neil Peart and his influence on the genre, and his influence on the host. This had zero to do with sports, or anything remotely related to them.
Such was the influence of Neil Peart.
Rush was a pretty good band, too. In truth, though, my favorite (favourite?) Geddy Lee turn was on “The Great White North” album.

It’s been some time since i suggested this to Bob, long enough (which is not very long at all anymore) for me to forget why, but i vaguely remember there was some current (at the time) political news. i think it was something about how governments enforce equity, which recalled the last line in the lyrics:
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw
