Almost mentioned Countdown. Manhattan Project would be interesting, but also a buzz kill.
I've probably written about this before but the very first time I heard "Countdown" was on a ladies shopping bus from my hometown of Al-Jubail to Al-Khobar.
Since we lived in a small town which didn't have much in the way of shopping and women couldn't drive, the company (Fluor) ran two, brand new, 43 passenger Nissan UD tour buses once a week for the ladies to go to the big city to shop.
Anyway, I'm listening to the "Signals" tape on my Sanyo knockoff version of a Walkman and as the helicopter flying overhead moved from one ear to the other, I started looking out the bus window trying to spot the helicopter. It sounded very real and I didn't know it was part of the song. I can imagine how awesome that would be in surround sound in The Sphere.
Just thought I'd share one of those happy memories of listening to Rush and living in a small town in the desert.
