Just came across this which describes the story line behind Clockwork Angels by Rush. Neil seems to be revisiting Fountains of Lamneth but with an older perspective. Interesting to note for Spaz, who I know is disappointed by Neil's agnostic and almost anti-religious overtones in the past, it is interesting that the last sentence in the introduction to Wish Them Well is very similar to "turn the other cheek" from my Catholic upbringing. I think that Neil's disappointment with religion (here I take liberty in projected onto Neil my take) is that it seems to more often polarize than unite creating an "us versus them" mentality. You can still live by the pure sentiment of religion, love and respect, without belonging to a religion.
