Edit: Looks like they may be problems with the link.

Here are screenshots from the mag:

"You’re supposed to be crappy when you make your first three or four records. But even in our middle period, we did this song called “Tai Shan,” using a poem Neil wrote about climbing a mountain in China, and when I listen to that it’s like, Bzzt. Error. We should have known better. "

Hey! I like that song!

"The only time I pray is on the tennis court."



Nice find! That interview has a ton of great quotes. Thanks for posting!

Will global warming have any detrimental effect on the habitat of the Snow Dog?

"As you can see, global warming is bullshit. Look out my window. I’m lodging a lawsuit against Al Gore. "

I couldn't see the article.. oh well

That story about how his parents came together is very moving....

Yet, I somehow feel happily vindicated.

Though I wouldn't exactly refer to HYF as "middle period" Rush. That honor goes to Permanent Waves through ESL. Everything after is "new."

"I look exactly like Geddy Lee..."

Now THAT was funny. I chuckled nearly the whole way through.

Nice read. "Neil is one strong motherfucker."

Good post here! I always appreciate Rush's sense of humor. I think that's kept them together for so long -- the ability not to take themselves so seriously.

"Drum" magazine just did the same thing with Neil. Results in the June issue (released in May). Cool stuff.

How do I get Rush to perform at my next birthday party?

You can't.

LOL

You were made an officer of the Order of Canada in the ’90s. To what does that entitle you?
I can arrest you for asking that question. (laughs) It’s like a good-citizenship award— they give you two medals, a big one and a little one. It entitles me to respect, which is why I wear it around the house. And in the bedroom at night. It’s important to get respect there, so I wear the big one.
