Transcript: "Rush In No Hurry To Go Slow" - Austin American-Statesman, January 20, 1994

Did you ever wonder how the "Thing" instrumentals were named? In an AP story published at the start of the Counterparts tour, "Rush In No Hurry To Go Slow" (January 20, 1994), Neil Peart says "[When working on Roll The Bones] Alex would be working the console and we were doing the demos...he'd be looking for something you know, 'Where's my thing?'"...[When working on Counterparts] "We all grew goatees, or at least interesting facial hair, during the recording and writing process...When you have a goatee of hair, you tend to play with it all the time, so we were constantly saying to each other, 'Leave That Thing Alone!'". - Thanks to Joe Sterle for the original article!
