[Rush's 'R30' DVD Celebrates 30 Years Of Epic Songs, High-Pitched Vocals]

Here's an article from MTV.com which talks about the band's history and R30. It features several interview snippets with Geddy Lee. When discussing the early days of Rush, Geddy offers this tidbit:

"... we frequently found ourselves unemployed, and when we really needed some dough, Alex and I would get some extra work," Lee recalled. "Once, we painted a movie theater, but that was the closest I ever really came to having a day job." ...

On the tragic deaths of Neil Peart's wife and daughter:

... "It's somewhat of a miracle that we carried on after that, to be honest," Lee said. "We were all pretty well convinced that was the end of the line. But fortunately, to a certain extent, time heals, and we were able to have another stab at it. "...

When discussing the old interviews and videos on R30's bonus disc 2:

... "There's some funny stuff on there," admitted Lee. "For me to watch it is really psychedelic. It's so strange to see some of the old performances and the interview clips: how we look and how we talk and how young we were and bad haircuts, big glasses. I thought I was so grown up and complete as a person, but I look back now, and man, we were just kids." ...

All in all it's a decent little article.
