The Toronto Globe and Mail's Globe Drive section celebrated Juno weekend by naming the Top 10 Canadian car tunes in today's edition. At the top of their list is Rush's Red Barchetta, which we'll soon get to hear in glorious 5.1 Surround Sound (and on tour of course). From the article:

1. Red Barchetta
Album: Moving Pictures (1981)
Artist: Rush
Canadian content: Bassist Geddy Lee is from Toronto; guitarist Alex Lifeson was born in Fernie, B.C.; drummer Neil Peart grew up in Port Dalhousie, Ont.

Thanks to RushFanForever for the heads up. On a completely self-indulgent but related note, here's a photo of my son's Rush-mobile pinewood derby car. :)
