Transcript: "Are Rush Still A Rock 'N' Roll Band?" - Classic Rock, January 1999

"Are Rush Still A Rock 'N' Roll Band?", Classic Rock, January 1999, is a Q&A with Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson promoting the release of Different Stages Live, released 15 years ago yesterday.  The duo field some off the wall questions, and Alex drops the shocking statement regarding "Tai Shan": "It was one of the worst things we ever did, not that I listen to that song.
