Transcript: "The Alex Lifeson Interview - The Snowdog Raps with CyberSteve" - A Show Of Fans, Winter 1996

Here is my first transcript addition from the fanzine "A Show Of Fans": "The Alex Lifeson Interview - The Snowdog Raps with CyberSteve" is an in-depth interview with Alex by Steve Streeter given 17 years ago in the Winter 1996 issue. This is a rare interview as the focus is on "Victor". Alex talks about working with his son Adrian, his wife Charlene and her friend Esther, Lisa Dalbello, Bill Bell, Edwin, Les Claypool, and more. Included are his comments on the complete coincidence in the similarity between Dalbello's performance and an early Geddy Lee, playing with The Dexters at the Orbit Room, how it was because of Primus that Rush performed "Hemispheres: Prelude" on the Counterparts tour, and how the plans to do a Twentieth Anniversary tour were shelved in order to work on new music (Test For Echo). - Thanks again to Mark Rosenthal for the original article.
