Transcript: "Polygram Records And Lifetime Learning Systems Spark 'Rush To Creativity'" - Polygram Press Release, January 7, 1986

Imagine showing up to your High School English class, and learning the day's lesson was to study Rush! Back in 1986, Rush's "Power Windows" was the prototype for a new educational program brought to you by PolyGram Records and Lifetime Learning Centers, to use popular music to stimulate writing and classroom discussion. Check out the press release, and notice this was also a nice marketing ploy by PolyGram, as "students are encouraged to purchase the album and bring it to class."(!)  Also included are pictures of the original classroom handout.
