Transcript: "Rush Drummer: Causeless Rock Rebels Duping Young Fans" - Cincinnati Enquirer, June 10, 1990
"If your new material isn't the focus of what you're doing
and you don't consider it to be the best thing you've ever done, you
better just become an oldies act and send yourself to Vegas. The dream
is dead." That comment from Neil Peart, from the June 10, 1990 issue of the Cincinnati Enquirer, is especially apt now that Rush has
possibly retired from touring, where there has been hope that Rush might
consider performing a residency at Massey Hall, Radio City or
elsewhere. In my latest transcript, "Rush Drummer: Causeless Rock Rebels Duping Young Fans", Neil also remarks on how musicians like Bon Jovi and George Michael pretend to be rebels to sell music, and "That's why there's that line in the song about packaging the image of the rebel". He also says how his then 12-year old daughter Selena was a big fan of New Kids on the Block, but that their form of pop-music was at least "honest". - Thanks to Heiko Klages for providing the original article!
