RUSH Get A Hollywood Star

Congrats to RUSH for the Hollywood Star they will receive today.   Neil especially has always been leery of fame, but these guys deserve it, something like 20 tours of the U.S., and they have been getting a lot of pub lately.  

This comes on the heels of the success of the documentary RUSH: Beyond the Lighted Stage.  Worse promo photo ever, but an excellent look at their careers so far.

I know this will come off as corny, but you have to hand it to RUSH.   I mean, look around at the people who are getting all the attention.    The media has always loved the bad boys, scandal, and gossip, but it seems that is now true more than ever.   If the Washington Post had to drop more sections, I guarantee you it would not be the Style section.

I will be the first to admit that I read it too, although in small doses.   But it’s also great when three guys like RUSH, who have avoided the trappings of the rock and roll hotel lifestyle, who have made covers of magazines solely for their music, and who are as Geddy has quipped, "boring" off stage, get their due in this big time way.

So this one is for the nerds.   Raise your books today.  We rock!!
