A few from RUSH? It’s a 3 man band. Granted, a 3 man band with skills sounding like 20 musicians, but nonetheless 3. I know Neil is libertarian, so what of Alex and Geddy?
I think he meant a few political statements from RUSH.
I think they are all pretty liberal. I enjoy reading Neil’s articles on his motorcycle travels, and when he says something anti-God or some stupid political statement I just think “Well - he IS a gifted musician!”
Geddy and Alex are pretty non-committal about it, although I have heard Geddy say that he is on the liberal side of things. Just a brief mention in interviews, never anything in a concert. He has said that he will change a lot of Neil’s lyrics to both fit the music, and also so that he (Geddy) is something he believes in and can sing with feeling and commitment. “And sometimes it might just be 2 or 3 words that we keep. But Neil is just glad that someone read the entire sheet before trashing it.”
That said - just shut up and sing! Although sadly, I doubt that I will ever have to worry about RUSH cancelling a show in Charlotte.
Charlie Daniels played at Jimmy Carter's inaugural ball.
My guess is that he hasn't changed his politics a bit, that he's a classic conservative democrat, who's party went off the deep end.
