Transcript: "Prolific Rush Surprises Lee" - Billboard, October 3, 1987

Hold Your Fire was released 27 years ago today, and to celebrate I've transcribed an article from the October 3, 1987 issue of Billboard magazine.  This is a long lost interview with Geddy Lee by Steve Gett, who published the Rush biography Success Under Pressure just two years before. In "Prolific Rush Surprises Lee", Geddy attributes the band's longevity to the loyalty of the Rush fans, the band's practice of staying away from each other when not recording or touring, and making the recording processing more interesting.
