Okay, the subject of Rush has come up on Oprano... yee haaaa!
Let me start by saying that in high school I played guitar, my friend Paolo played drums, and Pete was an awesome bass player. Can you say, jam session? All we played was Rush... LOL
Throughout high school and college, all we listened to was Rush. There was no other band. I have no idea about 80's music that was so popular, unless it was Rush. hahaha
I have seen them 19 times in concert.
Not 15 minutes ago I was on the phone with one of my friends I've known since I was 11 years old. We were reminiscing about the old days, and told me that he recently took his 12 year old son to his first Rush concert.
And Vick, John Rutsey left the band to pursue a career in professional bodybuilding. It's okay though, because if he had stayed Rush would have been a one hit wonder. Peart got them on the right track...
I love Rush. One of my all time favorites... yeah... definitely an all time favorite...
