Connect the following to a song.
Answer: Connect: The Spirit of Radio by Rush.
1. The song's name was inspired by Toronto radio station CFNY's slogan.
2. The final lines of the song ("For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall.../Concert hall/And echoes with the sounds of salesmen") are an allusion to the famous final lyrics from the Simon and Garfunkel classic "The Sound of Silence": "...the words of the prophets/Are written on the subway walls/And tenement halls/And whispered in the sounds of silence."
3. The song is on the album "Permanent Waves", the cover art for which comes from a photo, taken by Flip Schulke, of the Galveston Seawall in Texas during Hurricane Carla on September 11, 1961.
4. Marconi, inventor of the radio.
