HomeYesterday The Tapes Archive Youtube channel published their latest deep dive video "The Evolving Mind of Neil Peart | Ayn Rand, Misinterpretations, and What a Politician Got Wrong". This is a fan-made yet professionally crafted documentary that traces the Rush lyricist-drummer’s changing views on Ayn Rand, corrects long-standing media misreads, and examines how a politician later misused Rush lyrics.
Created by Emmy Award–winning documentarian Alan Berry, a Rush fan for more than 40 years, the release comes in the lead-up to Neil Peart’s birthday on September 12, offering fans timely context and fresh insight as tributes proliferate across the rock community. “This one is for the listeners who’ve debated Peart’s ideas for decades,” said Alan Berry, creator of The Tapes Archive. “As a lifelong fan, I wanted to separate myth from record—showing how Neil’s thinking evolved and why the shorthand takes miss the point.”
