As equity trader with the T3 Trading Group, Darren Grunberg is responsible for autonomous trading decisions based on a proprietary book assigned to him. Passionate about music, Darren Grunberg is a particular fan of Rush, which has been at the forefront of arena and progressive rock music since the 1970s.
The Canadian musical unit’s most enduringly popular song is Tom Sawyer, which debuted on the 1981 album Moving Pictures and has been a staple of live concerts since. Featuring synthesizer up front and center, the song was a collaboration between lyricist Pye Dubois and drummer Neil Peart. As the latter musician explained it, the song presented Dubois’ vision of a rebellious, free-spirited individualist who combined elements of boy and man in maintaining an attitude that was both purposeful and wide-eyed. The high-octane song continues to be a major influence to rock musicians and was highlighted in a key scene in Steven Spielberg’s new science fiction movie Ready Player One, in which a cyber-detective takes on robotic adversaries.
