Transcript: "The Art of Rush" - PROG #125, November 2021

Back in November, PROG magazine published "The Art of Rush", another insightful interview with Hugh Syme to promote the updated and reprinted Art Of Rush: Serving A Life Sentence.   I enjoyed this snippet where he talked about the cover from the A Farewell to Kings 40th Anniversary edition:
"I enjoyed creating that cover. There was a slight nod to the fact that there had been retirements, so the thrones were empty now, just to say the band weren't there anymore. And then highlighting their specific interests: the set of golf clubs standing in the window waiting for Al to play a round, Neil's love of reading in those stacks of books, the open bottle of red, drinking obscenely expensive wine. I think everything's accounted for in that image."
