Love it, looking very forward to this

 

Not sure what the problem is here though - how could anyone have a problem w/ Dan Rather interviewing Ged ??

 

DR: Geddy, your first album was released during the Nixon regime. How do you feel about Gerald Ford pardoning him over Watergate?

 

GL: Er, what?

 

DR: Your most popular record was released during the Reagan Administration. Don't you think Reagan should have been executed for Iran/Contra?

 

GL: Uhh.....

 

DR: Did despair over the Bush 41 regime lead to the recording of Presto without a bass guitar, or that God-awful rapping skeleton on Roll the Bones?

 

GL: I never thought about that...

 

DR: During your triumphant return in 2002, were you aware George W.Bush was snorting coke in the Oval Office and paying off witnesses who could verify he dodged service in Viet Nam? I have proof.

 

GL: Neil gave him the coke.

 

DR: Now enjoying your retirement, how do you feel about the current great embarrassment of America?

 

GL: I thought she looked like an old hag on Anderson Cooper. Build that wall baby! And we want one on our side too!

 

Ed you made my night!!

 

I'm going to watch the interview now just because of your amazing post!

 

 

RUSH ON!

Earl has decided to become a big game hunter, only in LA's Griffith Park, he looks for people having sex in the bushes! He calls it Big Earl Hunting!

 

Where have you been Lucky Ducky Fucky! I wrote a homage to Neil called "New Medicare Man" and I can't believe you didn't comment Mr. English Wit Writer 101!

 

I am a "Big Game" Hunter. I love WHITE LION!

 

But!

 

"The Hunter" IS ROKKEN WITH DOKKEN BABY!

Ed's looking for love on these lonely streets again!

 

HAHAHA!!!!

 

Classic!

His interview with Hagar was pretty good. They went into some specifics about eddies behavior and Hagar talked about all the chiks he smashed on the f**k tour.. said his dick stopped working after a while cause he was so worn out.

Dan: The old Red Rocker himself. So where does that name come from, anyway?

 

(follows up with...)

 

Dan: So who is the Red Rocker, really?

 

 

I hope it gets better. :LOL:

 

 

ETA: Wow, does it. @ 6:15 Sammy talks about his childhood...

Did you see how those two questions pretty much instantly put Sammy at ease while also getting him into an introspective mood? Well done, Dan.

Interview with Ged will likely be at his house...review the baseball collection, review the bass collection and studio, review the wine collection.

 

All well and good, but it's been covered in the movie.

Maybe there will be a new twist to the plot. :codger:

Something that may be escaping some of you guys is that the intended audience probably isn't dedicated Rush fans. I suspect the intended audience is perhaps the casual Rush fan, or maybe people who have only heard of Rush, or perhaps even people who have never heard of them.

Even so, I am sure the subject of Neil's retirement will come up and the future - or lack thereof - for Rush. That will probably be the only part of the interview we here will want to hear.

You think Sammy was nervous? He didn't say anything he hasn't said a hundred times in interviews.

Not after the ice-breaker, no.

 

 

 

 

 

ETA (cuz I can see it coming): I don't know what his state of mind was before the cameras were rolling.

Here's a sneak peak of the Dan Rather 'upcoming season' promo trailer below that features a few seconds of Geddy speaking.

Like the Peter Mansbridge one Geddy did during the 'Clockwork Angels' era below, he's interviewed at his home as well.

I for one am excited about seeing Geddy in the spotlight once again. I get that Rush is over, but did Ged and Al have to be so removed from the media as they seem to be right now? Come on guys, give us a prospect, or any kind of hint about future projects!!!

Truth is, they're both probably less than a 45 minute drive from you so you should track them down and ask them! ;)

I was running the other day towards Bridle Path here in Toronto, and a friend from the same running group said "hey, that´s Drake´s house". I said "who???", much to her disbelief. I honestly didn´t know who he was, and had to google him afterwards. But hey, I was thinking Alex and Geddy probably live in the same area if they spend time in Toronto...should I stalk them?

Sure why not! Google maps says you're 1 hour 52 mins walk from Geddys place or 20 mins in a car, let us know what he says when you arrive!!
