Part 2 picks up right where we left off on Part 1, by tackling the post-Moving Pictures journey of our Canuck music heroes. They’ve just experienced their greatest commercial success (artistic as well, at least according to CFX) to date and ready to fire the up the synths for some emotion transmission on 1982’s Signals. How do the next 11 albums over 30 years of the band’s studio recording history go down? Are they cool with their rapidly growing, hard-won, post-Moving Pictures fan base? Or will they be cast out? We cover it all, have major disagreements agreements along the way, and learn:
How not to make music videos
What famous drummer (ok, look-alike) starred in the Subdivisions video
How disco might have been Rush’s secret weapon
What happens when Neil Peart and Jeff go head-to-head in a lyric writing contest
How everyone is entitled to Geddy’s opinion
Why Big Money has no soul
And, finally, how exactly, abnormal shapes and forms contribute to life in two dimensions becoming a mass production scheme
