Rush story in The Guardian: "Our fans feel vindicated"

From the article:

"It's nearly 30 years since Rush had a UK hit single. How, then, are they more popular -- and, whisper it, cooler -- than ever before? By Rob Fitzpatrick"

Neil Peart updates - 5/13/07

There are a lot of interesting bits of news about Neil and Rush that I thought I'd compile into one update.

Snakes & Arrows hit #3 on the Billboard 200, #3 on the Canadian charts, and #13 in the UK. Read the official Anthem release.
The official "Far Cry" video is now available on YouTube. The video was directed by Chris Mills.
The reviews of "Snakes & Arrows" have been coming in over the past few weeks (mostly positive). I've been compiling them on my "Snakes & Arrows" page. Thanks to Rushisaband.com for tracking down many of these reviews.
While Geddy and Alex continue to do a lot of press for "Snakes & Arrows," Neil has also done some interviews. You can listen to a radio interview on IcebergRadio.com. There are also two interviews with Neil: Toronto Star: Closer to the Heart and Globe and Mail (although you now need to purchase the Globe story to read it all).
The "Snakes & Arrows" MVI disc is confirmed to release on June 5. A few short clips of the documentary have made it to YouTube: clip 1: Alex working on guitar overdubs and clip 2: Geddy singing and entire band playing The Main Monkey Business.
Andrew MacNaughtan has Neil Peart prints for sale (signed by Neil himself): Neil Peart Retrospective 2006 - $95.00 (sale); Neil Peart Snakes & Arrows Recording Session - $325.00; Neil Peart African Drum - $275.00 (sale).
Finally, you should be able to find the Drum! issue with Neil on the cover at newsstands now.
