I really enjoyed this little interview. Very unusual questions, but Ged seemed in the mood (no pun intended) to answer them. Some of you will have seen this but hopefully some of you haven't - I've only just watched it... interesting to note that "Tai Shan" is his (and Alex') least favourite Rush song!

Yes, with John Roberts, who when I was a teenager, was "J.D. Roberts" on Toronto's MuchMusic. He had long hair and played guitar! He also worked a summer job at my Dad's factory when he was a young teenager. He sure made something of himself!Originally Posted by UnephenStephen

I love listening to the guys in Rush talk. They are so funny and down to earth.
Boy, do I agree with the Genesis/Lou Reed mismatch comment!
I actually like "Tai Shan," but I can see his point. "If you raise your hands to heaven/you will live a hundred years..." The subject matter just seems out of place for Rush. Amusingly, that was from the period he sported that look which he considered his most major faux pas!
