That is a nifty little interview. [I also love George...up here near the cross to Toronto we get lots of Canadian TV...freaking CNN should steal him away and use him in the formerly King [sucky old guy interviewer] currently Morgan [suckier and possibly criminal formerly Brit interviewer] time slot.
Weirdness, though, Sorus saying "their older stuff"...and instantly my brain screams "WTF!?! It was the album when FINALLY random ordinary people knew who you were talking about if you said "Rush," after SO LONG!!!...but the other brains instantly counted shit and said "Sorus is correct, you were just infected young and now you're old."
This thread may have goosed me...I have a period of wifelessness coming up when many hours will be prefaced with "Well I'm bored...we'd be..." I might use that, just for fun, to do a grande listen and read through of Rush.
I might also do it of Van Halen...but of course the reading part of that is just "see spot run".....and I wonder if there are quality karaoke versions I could get cheap/easy so I don't have to spend the effort blocking out Hagar.
Rush's Time Machine Blu-Ray is out....

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

Eh, I've been a Rush fan for 20 years, which I guess makes me a noob by some standards. I had to watch the interview twice to notice that it was to honor the 30th anniversary of Moving Pictures - I had wondered why they were talking about an older album when they must have been promoting Clockwork Angels (not sure about the exact date of the interview).Vraith wrote:

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?
It was somewhat horrifying realizing that I was taking my daughter to the 30th anniversary of the MP Tour, when the original was one of my 1st concerts.
That's a great interview, and one of the things I love about Rush. They get it. They're totally cool with who and what they are, and they're in on the joke.
