Rush and U2 are two of my favorite bands. U2 put out a song about 10 years ago when Bono's dad was dying or had recently passed away. He was having a conversation with Liam Gallagher, the lead singer for Oasis, about Bono's dad getting closer to death. The subject of religion and God came up; I'm not sure if Bono's dad had lost his faith, but for some reason Gallagher commented that Bono's dad was "One Step Closer to Knowing" God. That conversation led Bono to write this song. So Neal Peart, this is for you.
