Iām kicking myself that we missed Dead Sara a few weeks ago - gotta do a better job keeping an eye on the concert calendar.
Iām annoyed sheās only playing Charlotte, and on a week night at that.

Yeahā¦I saw Mike Shinoda was in town for a solo performance a couple weeks ago and I only saw it on the day he was coming and couldnāt line up the night off. I was bummed. Never saw him in person (without Linkin Park), and donāt know that it would greatā¦but Iād have been interested to give it a whirlā¦

I loved the Fort Minor album and some other collab stuff (remember the track he did with X-ecutioners?), and I saw as well that he was in town - I wouldāve been down there if I couldāve made it work.

The song is a cover of Megadethās āA Tout Le Mondeā Sung by Dave Mustaines Daughter and another lad, both with amazing vocals.
Starts at 1.25

Geddy Lee explained the genesis of the song in an interview:
The seeds for the song were planted nearly 60 years ago in April 1945 when British and Canadian soldiers liberated the Nazi concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. Leeās mother, Manya (now Mary) Rubenstein, was among the survivors. (His father, Morris Weinrib, was liberated from the Dachau concentration camp a few weeks later.) The whole album āGrace Under Pressure,ā says Lee, who was born Gary Lee Weinrib, āis about being on the brink and having the courage and strength to survive.ā
Though āRed Sector A,ā like much of the album from which it comes, is set in a bleak, apocalyptic future, what Lee calls āthe psychologyā of the song comes directly from a story his mother told him about the day she was liberated.
I once asked my mother her first thoughts upon being liberated," Lee says during a phone conversation. āShe didnāt believe [liberation] was possible. She didnāt believe that if there was a society outside the camp how they could allow this to exist, so she believed society was done in.ā[1]
