Yeah, that's in the Rush doc and also, obviously, the doc from whence it was drawn. How awesome is it, though, to be Alex Lifeson and have that sort of document? How many future super-famous/successful musicians have an actual recorded document of them discussing their professional musical future with their parents!?

Alex' dad was in a prison camp during WWII. He's showing admirable restraint by not clobbering Alex with that. "We want you to be free. And I think I know what I'm talking about since I WAS IN A PRISON CAMP."

So you weren't listening to his dad, either. Why, Jordan?

Seriously, finish Gr 12.

And if I'm following right, the girl he complains about in this clip became his wife a few years later, at least according to Wikipedia.

And did his father turn out to be right about that too?

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if in later years he thanked his dad for hardening his resolve.

in the movie, he's pretty sheepish about it and says his parents were right
