Dan Rather to interview Geddy Lee

[JARG]

So the show will be aired on October 24, but does anyone know if it has already been recorded?

Judging from the clip in which Geddy appears, I think most of us know. ;)

From Parade Magazine - Dan Rather Gets The Big Interview

 

Who’s your favorite musician?

 

I am going to pass on that because my job is to interview a lot of great musicians, but let’s speak of someone past — Classical music: Mozart. Popular music: Frank Sinatra. Country music: Hank Williams.

[New Digital Man]

How do you know where he lives??? And how do you know where I LIVE?????

Ha Ha!! Everyone knows where the band live don't they, call yourself a fan!!! You said Bridle Path, so that was my starting point, simples!

I only noticed that after I posted, sorry...

1 - I don´t know where they live...

 

2 - I don´t live in Bridle Path - the average house there costs CAD 5 million!!! I´m training for a marathon, and ran past that suburb when I did my 32km run.

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!

 

:rfl:

What the heck does Dan Rather know about Rush? Lol.

 

If he is well prepared, does his research and asks provocative questions he doesn't need to know much. If he doesn't, all bets are off.

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.

 

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.

It seems to me there are some people here that don't understand how good Rather is at interviewing people. This will not be his first rodeo and I'll wager anyone here he elicits info from Ged none of us knew before and Ged will be utterly comfortable talking bout it cuz Rather has made him feel that way.

Highly recommend his interviews with the late, great Gregg Allman and Carly Simon.

It'll be nice to hear from Geddy. He's always a great interview.

Cool. I admit it'll be difficult to get anything from Ged that's new to us since we're all such hardcore Rush fans, but I'll stick by what I said because Rather is really good. He did get Carly Simon to oh, you know, admit she's still in love with James Taylor, on camera for all the world to see and hear.

I need to seek out the one with Gregg Allman- I wasn't aware of that one.

Here's a quote from the following Dan Rather interview:

 

“In The Big Interview, we’re less interested in the subject’s current project or current release,” Rather says. “We’re more interested in who you are. Who are you as a person? What makes you angry? What passion do you have outside your work?

 

Dan Rather: ‘Have the guts to dig into stories people in power don’t want’

That won't exactly be news either unless he goes deep.

I'm guessing this isn't an interview directed at the die-hards.

[laughedatbytime]

I hope we find out how he did in fantasy baseball. Though no one gets as much out of his guests than Matthew Berry.

Admit it or say it?

There was a preview broadcast last night and Ged talked about a couple of things. One was what he found most awkward in dealing with fans and that was being asked for an autograph when he;s in a public restroom doing his "business".

Never trust someone cloned from urine. They're not real pee-ple.
