Jack Fitzgerald said Good picturesbut superficial overview. This is a breezy overview of the now Good picturesbut superficial overview This is a breezy overview of the now 30+ year career of Rush. One has to give these guys credit for keeping the fires burning all these years, with no band turnover, and creative output that continues to be inventive, original and uncompromising. What amazes me is that critics in mainstream music magazines still like to label Rush as a sci-fi/fantasy prog-rock outfit that writes space operas and songs about gnomes and elves.

Some truly interesting antics-many of them involving interactions with other classic rock bands: Blue Oyster Cult, Pat Travers, etc. Only gripe is that the book seems fragile: glossy pages and they will fall out if you are not somewhat de. Insights Into A Private Band, But Far From Comprehensive I've been a fan of Rush's music since the early 1980's, and have every one of their CDs. However, I really don't know a whole lot about the band members as they have been extremely guarded about their life in and outside the band. This book helps melt down that guard a little bit, but still does not provide a comprehensive look at Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart.The book is structured by chapters, which each one representing one of the band's CDs (in chronological order, including the Insights Into A Private Band, But Far From Comprehensive K.
