Rush was in Seattle to begin a US tour in support of their 73^rd album, Clockwork Angels. VICE caught up with Peart for a foot massage and reflexology treatment before the show. Reflexology is the ancient Chinese therapy that says every gland and organ in the body corresponds to a part of the foot, even the anus organ. When these parts of the feet are pressed, the stimulus moves through the nerves and energy pathways of our “Qi” to support the associated area of the body and release blockages.

I wish I’d known Peart didn’t like his feet to be touched before I took him to the foot massage parlor. Apparently he thought reflexology was a hand and ear thing.

 

Not sure if the "73^rd album" reference is some kind of sarcasm or typo but the Q&A is humorous. The full article is here: http://www.vice.com/...mmer-neil-peart

A foot massage and reflexology. What's the difference? lol

 

I thought the article was legit (unlike reflexology). Pretty funny imo.

Agreed - I actually really enjoyed that. Dude is definitely wacky. But, how many interviews did they do at the release of CA that contained the exact same information over and over? Nice for a change of pace. I don't know how the heck Neil agreed to do that - funny!
