Neil Peart Interviews Jean Chrétien - October 1993

[@approx4ft]

When I hear PERT my soul dies

[@patriciameyer7401]

Wow, aren't you creative.

[@heffernanca]

Neil is the kind of celebrity that kids should be looking into. He is a great musician, an obviously very intelligent man, and seems like a wholesome human being.

[@paddlewest2686]

You know, I love Neil's perspective, but was ready for him to jump in some ideological way, but he was good and fair with Chretien. As a big Rush fan, even nice to see!

[@dorian2112]

at the end she asks if anyone would like to call and ask that guy anything, nope!! but i could listen to Neil all day, any day everyday. Neil is the man.

[@cmustard599]

This sort of thing is why I love Canada. The rock stars are literate and informed, the politicians are held accountable, and the popular (commercial) culture has a sense of responsibility.

[@NEALBABBITT]

Neil is scary smart! ;-)

[@AudiophileTubes]

WOW! More rare unseen videos for die hard RUSH fans! 'KZbin' is amazing!

[@SovietSpaceBat]

Good interview by Neil Peart.

[@shauntbarry]

If I found out I was getting interviewed by Neil Peart I'd do a fucking runner!

[@sweetcreator7288]

RIP Neil Peart!

[@thereverendgypsy]

Neil is sharp as a tack & challenging. And too too shy, either - at least on this day - in this chosen 'political' arena. He did his homework. Post MORE RUSH! RASH! PEART LEE LIFESON

[@NapoleanXV]

On the topic of literate musicians running for office, Frank Zappa ran for the Libertarian spot in the 80s.

[@MrDcseltzer]

I would love to see Neil work in our US Government. We could use some clear level headed thinking.

[@wadeadams2775]

Only if you like far leftist views

[@jjpopnfresh6822]

I could give a shit less what Neil's politcal views are. All I care to know is he's the best lyricist and rock drummer ever.

[@EcoChocolatcchi]

rest in peace

[@unready1961]

Neil Peart would have been the perfect host of "Jeopardy".

[@geinikan1kan]

smart bastard. Kudos to Mr. Peart.

[@NapoleanXV]

Hey it's Tom Hanks!

[@Quad8track]

Wow, no teleprompter!

[@roman14032]

as a citisen of both canada and the US,i can say that canada has waaaaaaaaaaaay smarter drummers

[@alanlevesque7180]

Neil was smarter.

[@MrDAVIDEO84]

" WOW ! THE CANADIANS ARE SO PROGRESSIVE ! " CONGRATULATIONS SIR NEIL PEART !

[@wadeadams2775]

You can have our liberals..please

[@guitardude57]

This was kind of interesting. Neil did a good job. I wonder what he thinks now that not only did Chretien not remove the GST now McGuinty has added the PST as well.

[@DBJetsman]

not everyone is Canadian dude...

[@detectivemedia3957]

Americans: Neil Peart!!!... Jean who???

[@Siyates747]

Neil Peart has a good point... 8:37 "Because you cannot put everything there" ?...Neil left him in a slump. I would seriously vote him for any political responsibility not just because he's the drummer for rush but, more along the line of him being smart and knowledgeable about his points of view.

[@snapascrew]

this is a fact.

[@Tod661]

Tel me Chretien wasn't scared shitless sitting across Neil Pert

[@patriciameyer7401]

@@wadeadams2775 I'm not excusing the persons ignorance. I was simply making note of how long ago their original post was- (the one that included the mispelling of Neil's last name) Good chance the idiot will never see our comments. re: Peart

[@guytitanic]

Neil for Prime Minister

[@roman14032]

peart just gutted him with the first question. the rest is just damage mitigation. WE NEED NEIL PEART AS PRESIDENT OF THE USA, al of our politians dont belong inthe same room with him

[@spiralarray1969]

considering Chretien's age and the fact that he was the Prime Minister of Canada at the time...lol....I am thinking he might not have even been very familiar with who Neil Peart was.

[@fasteddie4145]

@alnilam66 you can subtract quasi.....

[@spiralarray1969]

sorry, the "soon to be" Prime Minister of Canada. (at the time, lol)

[@74jailbreaker]

Peart is fucking awesome. I think he pretty much out smarted that liberal dude.

[@approx4ft]

'liberal dude' He was Prime Minister

[@kfsfkakf]

did he win?

[@santiagoimbachi6381]

He did

[@unready1961]

Three times

[@MrAdrianbelew]

@meccaturbo fact.

[@trooper44481]

Chretien`s English is far better than Harper`s French. BYW, Nearl would be a great Prime Minister.

[@zachjohnson637]

Abraham Lincoln was FAR from being a libertarian. A better example would be Calvin Coolidge.

[@rufus566]

Did this Chretien win?

[@lilfett1783]

rufus566 Yes. Chretien did win, twice I think

[@jeffp1370]

Yes, Prime minister for 10 years... 1993-2003

[@zeppidy]

@kfsfkakf Yup. 93 to 03 I think it was....but now the liberal party has lost alot of power

[@dayglow76]

I heard a rumor that Neil's family was murdered and they made it look like an accident and cancer because of this interview so I had to check it out.

[@Quad8track]

French is irrelevant. Harper is a the best thing to happen to Canada! I'd love to trade Harper for Barack Hussein Obama. After listening to Clockwork Angels, Snakes & Arrows and Vapor Trails, I think it's time for Neil Peart to go in to politics.
