Three Canadians who, for almost half a century, played as if rock had to pass an exam in mathematics and poetry at the same time. RUSH is my absolute band: Geddy, Alex and Neil — precision that never lost its heart.
Neil Peart wrote lyrics like a philosopher with a drum kit instead of a lectern: about freedom, about time, about the road. When I listen to “Test for Echo”, I hear a band that flattered no one — and that is why it stayed forever.
Canada has given the world a great deal, but RUSH is its loudest ambassador. They are number one on my playlist: while editing photographs, on the way to a shoot, and everywhere you have to think and feel at the same time.
