RUSH Members Discuss 30th Anniversary Of Moving Pictures On In The Studio; Audio Available
RUSH legends
Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Neil Peart are guests on In The Studio - The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands - this week. The trio are discussing the 30th Anniversary of Moving Pictures with professional radio broadcaster and rock musician interviewer Redbeard.
Redbeard comments: "There is no more democratic band in rock than Rush. They have always divided up various responsibilities equally among the three members, including doing interviews. Therefore, album after album and tour after tour it would be one band member’s turn to 'meet the press.' While Rush has always been graciously accessible, I must confess that never was more than one member ever made available.
By the time this session occurred I had already interviewed Rush bass guitarist/singer
Geddy Lee twice, so I was reasonably confident on what to expect. Regarding his earliest recollections of music while growing up, imagine my shock when Lee (family name Weinrib) matter-of-factly answered my first question by replying: 'I came from a family of immigrants, basically. My parents survived the Holocaust in Poland and then married after the war and moved to Canada. I was basically brought up in a household that had survived turbulent times, to say the least, so there was a total rebuilding in a new country, in a new culture and trying to adapt. Music wasn’t a prevalent and over-riding thing in our family. Both of my parents have a number tattooed on their wrists from the concentration camp.”
