VH1 is celebrating Rushashana!!!! Woot!!!!!11!!!!!

[BeachBaby]

These guys are such an unbelievable talent - and I'm never less than awestruck everytime I watch one of Neil's solos.

Anybody here see Rush in concert? I've never had the privilege. Do they sound just as phenomenal in person?

[Bleeding Cubbie Blue]

1. Nine shows.

:headbang:

[TZ]

2. Rushhoshana? OMG thats freaking hilarious!

By the way, I think you have just made DuStrange's "New Year" (don't think he's Jewish but what the hey). Long live Geddy Lee!
PS--Creekdog..Shut up!:D

[BeachBaby]

3. Speaking of being Jewish.....

I didn't know this, but Geddy Lee is a Polish Jew, and his parents are both survivors of concentration camps during the Holocaust.

Amazing musician with an amazing set of parents. LONG LIVE GEDDY LEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8. That's how he got his nickname.

His grandmother pronounced his real name, Gary, as "Geddy."

:D

[Ohio Joe]

4. Twice

The first time for the Moving Pictures tour and the second time for the Signals tour. Awesome both times.

[MountainLaurel]

5. Once, around 2002

The music was the only decent part of the evening (long story involving manipulative boyfriend, rain, broken ATMs, and plummeting blood sugar). I wish I could have enjoyed it more.

[Dr. Strange]

6. Rush: the Chronology...

http://www.excelcier.com/history.html

I suspect that CreekDog's true identity is none other than John Rutsey. Or maybe Joe Perna?

[Dr. Strange]

9. Oops, forgot to answer the question...

I saw Rush on their Roll the Bones Tour in Colorado.

[SoxFan]

7. My first big arena concert

Rush (w/Rory Gallagher opening) at the Worcester Centrum, December, 1982.

God, I'm old!

[LynneSin]

10. RUSH ROCKS AND SHOULD BE IN THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME

And call me nuts, but I think Geddy Lee is hot!



Well he aged nicely, the younger Geddy Lee was kinda scary looking!

[TZ]

11. Yeah I think Geddy Lee is good looking too.

And now..I'm trying to figure if it was you or DuStrange who rec'd this thread...:)

[CreekDog]

12. I hope everyone watching was turned into a pillar of salt

:hi:

13. Sheesh. What's up with the Limbaugh threads??
