This has been one of my favorite Rush song's since it came out. It really does make you think about who real heroes are. Everytime I've ever heard it, I think about those who I know that have passed on, and it always makes me think about the heroic attributes they've had (everyone has a few). Tonight it got me thinking about my most recent hero:
A few months ago, there was a mass murder in my area (Utah, Trolley square shootings)... My ex girlfriend's father was one of the casualties, and her brother was seriously injured... They were the first two people shot in the attack... The way the story has been told to me is that as soon as the father saw the gun, he immediately turned to cover his son. His son got shot first, and he jumped on him and covered him from the shooter. He took 5 bullets in the back and the head, giving his life so that his son had a chance to live.

That, my friends, is a hero.
