1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 In the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly (with Everybody Loves Raymond on the cover), there's an article about the newer bands who are picking up the prog rock torch. Along with mentions of System Of A Down and The Mars Volta, they go back and cover prog rock's earlier influences, and Rush gets a few nice mentions, along with a couple of great pics. On the article's opening pages, there's a big pic of Geddy (circa Moving Pictures era?), and his photo takes up almost a whole page! You turn the page and there's another good-sized pic of all three of the boys onstage from 1980, with Ged and Alex playing their doublenecks. Next page has the "5 Essential Classic-Prog Albums," and Moving Pictures is #2 (behind ELP's Brain Salad Surgury). There's also a timeline spanning 3000 B.C. (Stonehenge built!) to 2001 covering major events in prog rock history, and 1981 is dedicated to the release of MP. It's unusual for Rush to get that kind of coverage, and the fact that it's in a mainstream mag like EW makes it even more amazing. If you see it on your newsstand, pick it up!

GhostGirl Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I LOVE reading EW...I'll have to pick up a copy to read over breakfast. That's one of my favorite things to do! Thanks, numbah one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 got my copy today too! Also has a great pic of Robert Plant holding a dove back in 1973. Unfortunately, on the same page as Geddy Lee, there is a pic of Geoff Downes incorrectly identified as Jon Anderson. Figures, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Another Yes "mistake" in the mag is that there is a pic of Rick Wakeman in his glittery wizard robe sitting in a huge wicker chair, which, according to the mag, was taken in 1970. That could be true, although he was not in Yes until late 1971 during the recording of Fragile. If reporters are going to deliver anything, they should get their facts straight about who's who and what's what and when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullysue Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Gonna get it. Your right in saying Rush doesn't get much coverage. It's a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
