Transcript: Geddy Lee Flies Solo Rush Frontman Makes An Album While Band Takes A Break By Steve Morse, Victoria Advocate, December 1, 2000

Today is the 20th anniversary of the release of Geddy Lee's solo album, My Favorite Headache.

Rush Referenced in Joe Hill's "The Fireman"

To the Rush References in Pop Culture page I've added another Rush reference I came across while reading The Fireman, by Joe Hill, published May 17, 2016.  The character known as the Marlboro Man obviously has no taste in music when he says "I know Arlo Granger, and the guy is a fuckin' liar. He told me once that he got backstage at a Rush concert and snorted coke with Neil Peart. I wish the guys in Rush snorted coke. Maybe it would amp 'em up and they'd try playing some real rock and roll for once, instead of that limp-dick prog-rock bullshit."

Transcript: Rush Continues Live Tradition, Springfield News-Leader, January 10, 1999

Different Stages was released 22 years ago today.  From the January 10, 1999 issue of the Springfield News-Leader, I've transcribed "Rush Continues Live Tradition", a review of Rush's "forgotten" live album (the only Rush album never remastered or reissued to vinyl).  Of course it included the obligatory derision of Geddy's voice...that's to be expected. - Thanks to JSW for providing the article!
