Here’s what our house elf, Artie, says about this episode.
Dive into this comprehensive discussion of Rush's song "Everyday Glory" from their album Counterparts. We share our thoughts and impressions about the music, discussing aspects like its "mid-tempo, poppy feel," Geddy Lee's harmonies, and the simple yet melodic guitar solo by Alex Lifeson.
We debate the song's potential fit on the previous album, Roll the Bones, due to its pop sound and ponder its lyrical depth as the highlight despite having reservations about certain musical choices.
We also discuss Neil Peart's unique drumming patterns and the production choices, including the track's shift back to analog recording. We dissect technical elements of the song, such as guitar tones, harmonies, and drum fills, noting how they contribute to the track's overall feel.
We express mixed feelings about "Everyday Glory," appreciating its creative parts despite not ranking it among our favorite Rush songs. The episode concludes with playful banter among the hosts, touching on unrelated topics like cigar smoking and 8-track tape nostalgia while inviting listeners to share their thoughts on the song.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
