Talk:Jacob's Ladder (Rush song)

Intro chatter on Exit Stage Left
This tune is preceded by a short introduction on Exit Stage Left, wherein Geddy Lee says, "'D like to do an old song for you right now. This was done a long time ago by the [T.C. Broonzy?].  This is called Jacob's Ladder." Anyone know what the attribution is? I may have transliterated it incorrectly. I can find no references to a 'Broonzy' other than the blues artist Big Bill Broonzy. Any suggestions for further research welcome. Nukeqler 22:39, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

"T. C. Broonsie" is an inside-joke nod to Terry Brown, who produced most of Rush's early albums. The title of "Broon's Bane," Alex's lead-in to "The Trees," also refers to him. 208.104.72.254 13:32, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Double meaning
"[...] The reference to the biblical Jacob's Ladder—Jacob's vision of a ladder from Heaven which angels went up and down—ties in with the final stanza of lyrics, which equate the storm of the music with an individual's life."


 * Although the lyrics at the end of the song could be interpreted as mentions to the Biblical Jaccob's Ladder, the concept of the song is about a storm being formed and at the end of storms Crepuscular rays can often be seen -- and these rays are commonly named "Jaccob's Ladder" --Pinnecco 13:42, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
