[Canadian Geographic Magazine January/February 2006]
UPDATE - 2/22@1:15PM: There is now a transcript up at Power Windows.
The latest issue of Canadian Geographic magazine focuses on music and contains a section entitled Tunescapes where songwriters reflect on geography and music. One of these Tunescapes is written by Neil Peart and titled My Laurentian soulscape. In it he discusses his love of Quebec's Laurentian Mountains, home of Le Studio in Morin-Heights where Rush recorded both Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures. He loved the area so much he purchased a log cabin there and the area continued to serve as an inspiration in his lyric-writing. It's a great article. Unfortunately it's not available online currently, so you'll have to buy a copy if you want to read the whole thing.
