Rush on TV

Today I watched The Colbert Report during my lunch hour to catch Rush's (not Limbaugh) first American TV appearance in over 33 years. Here's a couple things I noticed.
  • Neil's drum kit is amazingly huge. Ginormous if you will. Matt you must check it out.

  • They still sound amazing.

  • No canes or wheel chairs, however, one confirmed bald spot and one that might be covering his.

  • Alex brings his own fans (see barbie dolls on his pedals). A little strange.

  • Geddy still plays keyboard, bass, and vocals... awesome.

The quote of the night comes while Stephen was asking about the bands influences... "You are known for some really long songs. Have you ever written a song so epic that by the end you have influenced yourselves."

If you are or were a fan at one point and haven't heard the new album Snakes & Arrows go get it. It is great.

And before I forget, the meal served during this moment of coolness was a delicious Tillamook Bacon Cheeseburger and Walla Walla Onion Rings from Burgerville. My annual trip across the street for some yummy goodness.
