Transcript: "New World Man - We Have Assumed Control - Rush's Career in 10 Albums" - PROG, February 2016

Rush is featured on the cover of the February issue of the UK's PROG magazine. Included are three feature stories including Lee, Lifeson and Peart talking about 2112 as the album turns 40, and Geddy ranks his Top 10 Rush albums. Most important is an interview with Geddy Lee where he talks about the R40 Live Tour, how he felt when it came to an end, and gives his thoughts on the future of Rush. A key thought is this exchange:
Have you broached the subject of a new Rush album? 
No.

But you're saying that you and Alex could do an album together, not as Rush? 
Yeah....It's an option.
