In the lead up to tomorrow's Rush show at the CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Scott Mervis of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette spoke with Geddy Lee via phone for an article/interview titled Twenty albums later, Rush is still thriving. Geddy talks about the Clockwork Angels album and tour, the band's longevity, and why they still put themselves through the rigors of touring:

... "Because we like to play," the singer says. "We've gone to the trouble and expense of building a show, and we have over 20 albums worth of material that people want to hear, and I think while we can -- while we still possess the strength and desire to do it -- I think we should do it. We've got a lot of interesting pieces of music to play on this [tour], and we really like the new album. I think we know if we're going to play so much new material, we'd better have a lot of older material, so that everybody walks away happy."
