Transcript: "Interview With Geddy Lee" - WPHD, November 14, 1987

My next transcript addition is a telephone interview With Geddy Lee on Buffalo's WPHD radio, the morning of Rush's performance there on November 14, 1987. It's fairly detailed and longer than a typical radio interview, and Geddy also took a few calls from listeners. The transcript of the radio broadcast appeared in The Spirit of Rush; I've done some minor editing and clean-up for readability.

Transcript: "A Reluctant Rush To Success" - Rock Magazine, August 1984

My latest transcript is "A Reluctant Rush To Success", another long lost interview with Geddy Lee from the August 1984 issue of Rock Magazine. Published over 30 years ago, this interview is very telling of the band's thoughts during the Grace Under Pressure tour, as according to Geddy, "In some ways, I think we've reached a point where Rush is basically an album-by-album situation. One moment, it's like we're the band we've always been and will be around forever. The next moment, we're thinking 'how long can I keep doing this, or do I even want to continue this?'"  Geddy also forewarns us with the statement "If it happens, don't be looking for any farewell tour or final album. We'll know instinctively when we've had enough. And when we know, that will be the time to quit."

Transcript: 'Rush: They Are What They Are' - Scene, June 28, 1984

32 years ago today, Rush played the first of two nights at the Richfield Coliseum near Cleveland. Rush appeared on the cover of that week's Northeast Ohio Scene newspaper, and Geddy Lee is interviewed in the accompanying feature 'Rush: They Are What They Are.' Geddy talks about the albums themes, producer Peter Henderson, new sounds from the use of the latest technology, and their plan to continue as a touring band. - Thanks to Joe Pesch for the article and John Patuto for the transcript!
