in New Orleans. I don't live there, but I am taking a big road trip vacation and combining it with the concert. I am very excited!

The rumor is that this may be their last tour.

I am not a fan, never bought a record, never went to a concert. HOWEVER - my brother idolized them as a kid, and learned to play guitar by ear to their songs. I was forced to listen to Rush on a nightly basis, snippets of songs for hours and hours, as my brother picked them out in the next room. He is a fantastic guitarist now.

SO - when I hear Rush on the radio or anywhere else, it reminds me of my brother and those times. I listen because it makes me feel happy. Thanks Rush!

mr liberty was forced to listen to The Carpenters ad nauseum as a kid via his sister's musical obsession!

I grew up in Neil Peart's neighborhood. Please no more! To speak ill of Rush, around here will get you run out of Lakeside Park by a mob brandishing beer bottles and flaming doobies!

No strong emotions, though, as that voice prevented me from listening to them.
