Earlier this year, a 100+ page magazine covering the history of Rush was released. Loaded with dozens of photos and eight different articles, the magazine did an admirable job of creating a tribute to the history of Rush. A full transcription of the magazine, along with all the photos, is now online.

Back in November of 2020, not one but two books were published that centered around Rush fans.

Dreamers & Misfits: The Definitive Book About Rush Fans by Alexander Hellene

and

RUSH: The Day I Was There by Richard Houghton

I just completed reading both of these books and found them very interesting and rather engaging.  I've posted extended excerpts from each book on my site so fans can get a sampling of each before (hopefully) purchasing them.

Links to each excerpt below:

Does anyone have this yet?

Well, it certainly is different...

Can't really "hear" much of Alex in this first song, at least not in an obvious way.

In honor of his memory this second anniversary of his passing, I've created a special visual tribute.

We miss you, Neil. RIP.

I had the real pleasure of speaking with Hugh Syme earlier this month in connection with the release of the expanded edition of his Art of Rush coffee table book. We discussed a number of topics from his long-standing relationship with the band, his approach to designing album covers, and more. He also revealed some tidbits on the forthcoming Moving Pictures 40th Anniversary Box set!.

You can check out the entire interview at this link:

I hope you enjoy it-

It's been a while since Alex graced the cover of a mainstream magazine, so it was great to see him on the cover of the November 2021 issue of Guitar Player.

There's a featured interview with Alex as well as a review of his recently released Les Paul Axcess Standard guitar.

More details and links to both articles available here:

Good guy Geddy...

I don't know about you, but I well up with pride when seeing how often the boys are honored for their philanthropy.

...but only in Canada unfortunately.

Anyone up for a road trip?

I'm sure it'll be a bittersweet one this year, given the loss of his mother earlier this month, but let's all wish him well.
