Transcript: "A Peart Response" - Guitar World, November 1996

"A Peart Response" - Guitar World, November 1996, is (for this Rush fan) one of the most rewarding essays Neil Peart has ever written.  If you miss this one, you're missing out.  Neil answers the not-so-simple question: "Why has Rush endured for more than 22 years?"  Neil starts with explaining how he only plays music he really likes, not as a job, but as a passion...finding the same beliefs in Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson...refusing to "play down" to the audience or to become "commercial"...fighting the record company suits with 2112 to win their freedom...and believing their fans follow them for similar reasons.  (Note: this is the second transcript from this magazine, the first was "Time And Motion: Alex Lifeson Dissects Several Key Songs From Rush's Past") - Thanks to Mark Rosenthal for the original article!
