Transcript: "Rush Rocks On By Following An Old Formula" - Detroit Free Press, March 28, 1986

29 years ago tonight, Rush's played Detroit's Joe Louis Arena on the Power Windows tour.  On that same day my latest transcript, "Rush Rocks On By Following An Old Formula", appeared in the Detroit Free Press.  A long lost interview with Geddy Lee, he talks about what new offerings the band included on Power Windows, and also discusses the band's longevity, a topic I always find ironic in interviews published nearly 30 years ago! - Thanks to Joe Pesch for providing the original article!

Transcript: 'Roll The Grammy' - Toronto Star, January 10, 1992

Here's a new transcript, which is short and kind of sad... 'Roll The Grammy' is a very rare press announcement of a Rush song ("Where's My Thing?"), being nominated for a Grammy, from the January 10, 1992 issue of the Toronto Star.  [The Grammy winner was "Cliffs of Dover" by Eric Johnson, from Ah Via Musicom.]

Transcript: 'Rush Happily Dwarfed By Its Own Technology' - Toronto Star, March 8, 1988

27 years ago today, Rush performed the first of two nights at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens on the Hold Your Fire tour.  My latest transcript is a less than positive hometown concert review from the March 8, 1988 edition of the Toronto Star; in 'Rush Happily Dwarfed By Its Own Technology', critic Craig MacInnis obviously doesn't get it, and makes no bones that he is not a fan of Rush who he says is "full of itself". - Thanks to Heiko Klages for providing the original news clipping.
