Post a couple of things you like about Rush.

Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In between the bright lights
And the far unlit unknown

Growing up it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone

Nowhere is the dreamer
Or the misfit so alone

Subdivisions ---
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions ---
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth

Drawn like moths we drift into the city
The timeless old attraction
Cruising for the action
Lit up like a firefly
Just to feel the living night

Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight

Somewhere out of a memory
Of lighted streets on quiet nights...

1. Oh I shall definitely oblige you there! Put On Your 3-D Glasses

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRw9wlOZ9Lg

We've got nothing to fear...but fear itself?
Not pain, not failure, not fatal tragedy?
Not the faulty units in this mad machinery?
Not the broken contacts in emotional chemistry?

With an iron fist in a velvet glove
We are sheltered under the gun
In the glory game on the power train
Thy kingdom's will be done

And the things that we fear are a weapon to be held against us...

He's not afraid of your judgment
He knows of horrors worse than your Hell
He's a little bit afraid of dying
But he's a lot more afraid of your lying

And the things that he fears are a weapon to be held against him...

Can any part of life be larger than life?
Even love must be limited by time
And those who push us down that they might climb
Is any killer worth more than his crime?

Like a steely blade in a silken sheath
We don't see what they're made of
They shout about love, but when push comes to shove
They live for the things they're afraid of

4. Neil. I love drummers.

There's no head-boppin' or toe-tappin' without 'em. :)

And he's the best out there. Bar none.

5. That they're fucking amazing, otherworldly in talent, they fuckin' rock

and write brilliantly challenging and listenable music with, most times, pretty cool lyrics.

Plus, I also like that all three are decent people without huge egos and don't take themselves real seriously, even though they totally have the chops to support an arrogant attitude.

And they aren't very interested in the "being famous" part of being famous; hence, very rarely offering interviews, not buying into the fame thing, not getting their faces into everything.

They're just pretty quiet.

Even on tour, they've said it's not sex, drugs, and rock and roll, but for them it's been books, drugs, and rock and roll.
