Though I nevr knew this when i first heard this song, the Body Electric from Rush's Graxe Under Pressue, written by Neil Peart, was inspired by Ray.

quote:
One humanoid escapee
One android on the run
Seeking freedom beneath a lonely desert sun

Trying to change its program
Trying to change the mode -- crack the code
Images conflicting into data overload

(Chorus)
1-0-0-1-0-0-1
S.O.S
1-0-0-1-0-0-1
In distress
1-0-0-1-0-0

Memory banks unloading
Bytes break into bits
Unit One's in trouble and it's scared out of its wits

Guidance systems break down
A struggle to exist -- to resist
A pulse of dying power in a clenching plastic fist...
(Chorus)

It replays each of the days
A hundred years of routines
Bows its head and prays
To the mother of all machines


It was this song that go me into Ray Bradbury and it was Ray Bradbury who inspired Neil Peart to write the song and to have an impact on me.

What a great song! I saw Rush last summer (on Bastille day, by chance!) and they were AWESOME!

Oh, I loved it too. I saw Rush at Staples and the 30th at Chula Vista. But like I said, I got more into Ray after finding out that Neil loved his work.
