Transcript: "Rush: Something Special For Everyone", Northeast Ohio Scene, February 14 1980

I've just transcribed "Rush: Something Special For Everyone" from the February 14, 1980, issue of Northeast Ohio's "Scene" newspaper.   This is a great interview with Geddy Lee where he touches on the early days of Rush, and even gives an explanation of Rutsey's leaving.  Geddy also gives Rush's credo which was already was well established by then: "Here we are, three musicians who want to make music. And that's all we care about - making music, and making the kind of music that we like. That's got to be first priority. From the band's inception it was 'We're going to do this on our terms-no one else's terms. No record company, no radio station, no management is going to dictate what we sound like'. So when you think of it in that term, you just do what you naturally do. And that's all we've ever done." - Thanks to John Harrison for sending the article!
