Rush’s “Tom Sawyer” was inspired by the Mark Twain character… but that’s not the full story.
Neil Peart wrote the lyrics after reading a poem called “Tom Sawyer” by his friend Pye Dubois (from Max Webster). He then reimagined it as a modern-day rebel — “a modern-day warrior, mean, mean stride.”
The result? One of the most iconic rock songs ever, with that legendary bass line and drum fill that still gives chills.
Who else thinks this is peak Rush? 🤘

Scarface is widely regarded as a classic today, but when it first came out, the reception was brutal. Steven Bauer, who played Manny, says it was so painful that for years he and Al Pacino barely even spoke about the film. He explains…
“Scarface is great to be a part of now. For years, it was dismal - like everybody associated with Scarface was a leper - people got very wimpy about Scarface really quickly. As soon as the reviews were out…
Our peers came to see the movie in the premiere, right? There were two premieres, one in New York, one in LA, and people came to see it and they were like, ‘Wow, what a movie….
The next day, the reviews are out, and all the papers — this is before the internet, okay? - so you get just the conventional news media outlets - and 90% of them gave Scarface a horrible review. Like horrible, really, really insulting, injurious stuff. Personal attacks on Pacino and Brian De Palma, the director, and on Oliver, the writer...
It was really, really mean because the country was going through a politically correct sort of thing - they were like, "This is like a new wave of violence in the movies, oh!"
It’s nice because when I see Al - we can finally talk about it, because...for years, we couldn’t even talk about it. We’d be like, “Oh yeah, Scarface, yeah, yeah...” It was so sad! Because the movie was so great! And then it was like this thud, and it lasted like 10 years…
Anywhere I’d go, it was like, ‘You’re that guy who was really good in that really terrible movie.’ And I’d be like, ‘How could you say that?’ And they’d go, ‘Well, you were good.’ And I’m like, ‘Okay, but I don’t care. What about the movie?’ And they go, ‘Oh, come on, you gotta admit it. It was like way over the top. It was like so exaggerating,’ blah, blah, blah, blah.…and I’d be like, ‘You’re a pussy!”
In the Summertime is the debut single by Mungo Jerry, released in May 1970.
The band recorded the track very quickly in the studio, without traditional drums: the iconic rhythm of "chh chh chh" comes from the washboard played by Paul King.
The band's name came from a poem by T. S. Eliot ("Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer"). Released as a single, it became a global phenomenon: #1 on the UK Singles Chart for seven weeks in a row, #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, #1 in several countries and sold millions of copies.
