Rush

[dazie]

If you get a chance to see Rush this summer while they're on their Time Machine tour, definitely do it.  Ursus and I went last night and it was amazing.  3 hours, no opening band, and they still kick ass.  Neil Peart is a drum GOD and OMG.

Hey I saw them in concert last night, too.

I watched I Love You, Man.

[dazie]

There was a video after the concert of the two I Love You Man guys "backstage" with all access passes.  It was hysterical.

I Love You, Man is surprisingly funny.  I think Geddy Lee might be the least attractive man to ever roam the earth.  My husband was a huge Rush fan when I met him.  Surprisingly, I dated him anyway, even though I don't think I could possibly count how many times I heard "You just don't understand -- there are only THREE of them!"

I Love You, Man was ok.  I like Jason whatshisname.  I do not like Rush.

I thought that too, until I saw photos of Ronnie Dio.  *shudder*

Geddy Lee and I have the same hairstyle.  Mine might be more curly, but still... I'm THISCLOSE to famous now, right?

[VikingJuice]

I've always appreciated Rush's talent, songwriting and skill on stage, plus their ability to entertain throngs of people for decades.  And yet, I still don't like their music.  I like one of their songs and it's the one that all the 'REAL Rush fans hate', Tom Sawyer. 

But it's okay, the only Bowie album I like is the one he hates too; Modern Love.
