KFIX Rock News: Rush Guitarist Discusses Hall Of Fame Snub

Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson recently sat down with Rolling Stone for an interview that included his thoughts on the band’s non-inclusion in the Rock & Roll Hall OF Fame.

“Honestly, we really, really don’t care about it,” Lifeson said, ““It’s someone’s thing, and they can do whatever they want with it. They can have whomever they like. It’s their thing,”

He added, “It’s a little bit different here in Canada. We’ve received awards that mean an awful lot more to us than being in the Hall of Fame. We got the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award a couple weeks ago. That’s really the highest accolade you can get in this country for the performing arts, and it’s recognized nationally, and I felt so proud as a Canadian to be in this esteemed group of artists that have been there for the last 20 years.”
