Description

Daniel Bukszpan is making his second appearance on the podcast. He’s here to talk about his brand new book Rush at 50. A beautifully produced, photo-packed celebration of the beloved rock trio, Rush at 50 examines the history of the Canadian rockers through the lens of 50 milestone events. Daniel covers everything down through the decades including:
  • The band’s formation by bassist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson in suburban Toronto and their early gigs and tours opening for the likes of Kiss
  • Their breakthrough in the United States thanks to a Cleveland DJ
  • The role of co-founding drummer John Rutsey
  • Rush’s early Led Zeppelin–influenced efforts and their breakthrough, 2112
  • The band’s ever-evolving musical style through the 1970s and 1980s
  • The controversial influence of novelist Ayn Rand on Neil Peart’s lyrics
  • Geddy Lee’s instantly recognizable vocal style
  • Recording sessions with various producers in Wales, Quebec, and elsewhere
It does not get any better than this book for fans of Rush!
