Did anyone else get to see this fairly comprehensive documentery on the band Rush? It was very well done and covered their lives from before being in the band through their latest album. It was fun learning the inside stories to their choices along the way. IE: I had always thought that John Rutsey had quit the band, but it seems that he was more or less pushed out a few weeks before their first tour. They went though their albums in order. Each one reminded me of where I was in my life at the time that that music had come out. Memories of high school and college rushed back as they described their ideas behind the song Subdivisions.
It did get sad towards the end as they told how Neil’s daughter had died in a car crash and how his wife got sick and died not long after as well. It seems that he took a motercycle for a 55,000 mile ride to clear his head. He went across Canada, into Alaska, down the coast to Mexico and then back home. Then it told of his strugles to get back on stage.
All and all it was very enjoyable. I recommend it to anyone who appreciates their music.
