Transcript: "Canadian Rock and U.S. Rock Similar, Peart Says" - The Grand Rapids Press, November 7, 1982

My latest transcript was published 32 years ago today, on November 7th, 1982, in advance of their Kalamazoo, Michigan appearance on the Signals tour.  From the Grand Rapids Press, "Canadian Rock and U.S. Rock Similar, Peart Says" is an exclusive interview with Neil Peart, where he strikes down the myth that Canadian rock is special, and states "what happens musically in Canada is essentially the same in the U.S...I mean if they got rid of the 49th parallel, I'd just as soon join up with the U.S." He goes on to talk about how other Canadian bands had "sold out", and also gives his critique of other drummers of the era. - Thanks to RushFanForever for providing the article.
