Time Stand Still

About this episode

John Huff reflects on living in the present while discussing Anika Nilles' performance with Rush and the song 'Time Stand Still'.

On this week's episode, your humble host contemplates living in the present, and waxes semi-eloquent about the pressure Anika Nilles faced (and handled) in her first show with Rush, a poignant throwback from that show to Neil Peart's Ghost Rider, a "chickenwire" gig, and moments of appreciation, all in the context of this week's song of the week: Time Stand Still by Rush.
