In the run-up to tonight's show at the Mohegan Sun, Phil Roura of the New York Daily News recently spoke with Geddy Lee about the tour and the new album - particularly the lyrical content. The interview was published in yesterday's edition and can be read at this link. From the article:
... in the final analysis, it is what the audience comes away with that is important to the group.
"I want them to smile and enjoy [the music]," he says, when asked what he hopes his Mohegan Sun gathering realizes from the concert. "We want them to get as much of a visual sensation as an aural sensation out of it, and we will also try to make them laugh. They should leave feeling they had a great musical experience."
After a pause, Geddy Lee adds, "Look, I have two children, aged 27 and 13. I want them to be proud that I was a musician and made some decent music. That is what I hope my legacy will be."
Thanks to Metal Tim for the heads up.
