Transcript: "Power, Pomp, Purity, Pretension, Popularity...The RUSH Problem" - New Music Express, June 24, 1978

Do you remember the infamous March 1978 Neil Peart interview with Britain's "New Musical Express" where writer Barry Miles dubbed the band fascists? If you thought this was a singular slander of the band by the NME, check out this review of the Archives compilation package, which appeared in the NME just three months later: "Power, Pomp, Purity, Pretension, Popularity...The RUSH Problem". The writer Paul Morley goes out of his way to ridicule Rush, their music, and their fans, in every manner possible, and yes, it ends with "Fascism lurking beneath the volume and noise? Sure." - Thanks to RushFanForever for the original article.
