Welcome back to the show.

Here it is episode 511, and today we are talking about a subject that we have not yet broach at least not

this particular subject and that of course is the subject of rush drummer neil peart now before you

turn this off i forbid you to do so because first of all if you're a libertarian you should at least

know the band rush. They've been

around forever. Libertarians love them. They have a gigantic following. So if you're going to be

in a group of libertarians at a conference or whatever, you need to be able to navigate your way

through the conversation. You're going to want to know some of the material here. But also,

there's a reason people like this band, and there's a reason people like Neil Peart as, not just

a drummer, but as a writer and as a thinker. He's got a lot of very interesting things to say,

and we're going to talk about them today with the author of a new book on Neil Peart,

the subtitle, Cultural Repercussions. So it's Neil Peart, cultural repercussions,

with a play, obviously, on the word percussion. And who else would be our guest? Who else would

be the author of this book? But Brad Berzer, Professor of History at Hillsdale College.

I will have on the show notes page today, Tom Woods.com
