3. Referring to the song "By-Tor And The Snow Dog", singer and bassist Geddy Lee is known as who?

At 8 minutes and 37 seconds long, "By-Tor And The Snow Dog" was the longest track Rush had done up to that point. It would soon be surpassed by 20 minute epics such as "The Fountain Of Lamneth" and "2112".

6. The song "By-Tor And The Snow Dog" has multiple sections. What is the correct order of the sections?

Answer: The Tobes Of Hades/Across The Styx/Of The Battle/Epilogue

The 8 minute song tells the story of By-Tor and the Snow Dog. By-Tor is the prince of Hell. By-Tor meets the Snow Dog at the River Styx to fight him (Snow Dog is actually depicted as a dog). The two enemies have a fierce battle in which the Snow Dog eventually wins. The Snow Dog's followers rejoice as By-Tor retreats back to Hell.
By-Tor makes an appearance in another Rush song ("The Necromancer") as the protagonist, even though he is the antagonist in this song.

8. What song's lyrics were influenced by the writings of J.R.R. Tolkein?

Answer: Rivendell

"Rivendell" is one of two songs to be influenced by Tolkein's writing. The other, "The Necromancer", appears on their next album "Caress Of Steel." Rivendell is Elrond's home in Middle Earth (the setting of Tolkein's books).

9. What song do these lyrics come from? "Though your place in life is where you want to be Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me"
