Aimee Mann discusses her role in Rush's Fifty Something tour in new podcast interview

Tue, Jun 16, 2026@4:37PM | comments

One of the highlights of Rush's first run of shows in LA last week, was the surprise appearance of Aimee Mann to sing backing vocals on Time Stand Still - the song she recorded backup vocals on for Rush back in 1987, and for which she appeared in the iconic music video. Mann is based in LA and appeared for all 4 of Rush's shows at the Kia Forum. She was a recent guest on the ROCKTAILS with Ahmet Zappa podcast and spoke about her experience, including how it all came about, and her recollections regarding when the song was recorded back in 1986. But for most of the interview they spoke about Geddy's bass playing; Mann is also a bass player, and was extremely impressed with Geddy's playing - comparing his fingers to a badger digging a hole! You can listen to the entire 13-minute interview below or on YouTube (thanks Brian E).
