On this edition of the Rodcast, we step away from sports to discuss music. Martin Popoff is one of the most esteemed writers in hard rock and heavy metal. His latest book is “Anthem,” which focuses on Rush in the 1970s. In this discussion, Martin talks about the early days of the band, Neil Peart joining as drummer in 1974 and how it changed the band forever, their breakthrough album “2112” and whether 1970s Rush is the best era of the band. You can order your own copy of “Anthem,” as well as dozens of other books from Martin, by going to martinpopoff.com. If you’re a Rush fan or a fan of rock history, this is a great discussion for you to enjoy. It was an honor to have Martin on the show!
