Summary

Author Daniel Bukszpan is with Matt on today's episode to talk about his new book, Rush & 2112: 50 Years, which landed in stores this week as you're hearing this. We dig into the history of 2112 (50 years later!) and also discuss some of the things that make Rush fans upset (a hint: "Roll the Bones!"), his thoughts on the upcoming remix of Grace Under Pressure and how 2112 has often been traditionally categorized as a concept album. Check out Daniel's book and enjoy the deep dive he took into one of progressive rock's most legendary albums.
