Rush Rolling Stone article scans June 29, 2008
Thursday we learned that Rush was featured in the latest Rolling Stone magazine with a 4-page article/interview titled Rush Never Sleeps. The article has not been posted online yet, but thanks to reader RedSectorA you can view a scan of the article at this location or by clicking on the above thumbnails. It”s a surprisingly well-done article that”s more a historical retrospective of the band than anything else. It contains several interesting anecdotes and some great pictures. It”s definitely worth checking out.

Rush featured in Rolling Stone magazine June 26, 2008
Last month I’d mentioned that Rolling Stone had dispatched a reporter to spend four days with Rush on the Canadian leg of their tour last month, interviewing all 3 members for an article to be featured in an upcoming issue of the magazine. Apparently the feature article is part of the most recent Rolling Stone (with Barack Obama on the cover) out on newsstands now. At this point all I know about it is that it’s a very positive 4-page article with plenty of great photos. In other news, hell freezes over. 
More information as I get it. Thanks to sndtatro for the heads up.

Neil Peart in Motorcycle Hall of Fame celebrity exhibit June 23, 2008
Late last year I mentioned that Neil Peart would be featured in a celebrity exhibit at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum in Pickerington Ohio. The exhibit is called MotoStars: Celebrities + Motorcycles and will feature bikes and memorabilia provided by notable celebrities including Neil Peart, who donated one of his BMW GS motorcycles, a full drum kit and other memorabilia. The exhibit opens at the end of this month with a VIP gala and dedication ceremony to be held June 27-28 on the grounds of the Museum. For details visit the Museum’s website. Thanks to Power Windows for reminding me about this.

Updates and other random Rush stuff June 20, 2008
Here I was thinking that since Rush was on break from the tour it would be a quiet week for Rush news. Not so - just the opposite in fact; there’s a lot to report. The big news was that Rush will be getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next year. We also got another News Update from Neil Peart last night where Neil mentions a couple of his future projects. Earlier this week Chris Stankee of Sabian cymbals chronicled his adventures as Neil Peart’s riding partner and temporary drum tech. We also learned that the entire Moving Pictures album will be made available for download for the Rock Band video game. Donna Halper wrote a great article for OpEdNews.com earlier in the week titled With a Little Help From My Friends. It focused on the topic of friendship and how it relates to politics, using her long-running friendship with Rush to illustrate her point. And let’s not forget the Great Spider Cook Off!
