WTF?

Why is it that I can hate (HATE!) Rush musically, but love them on the Colbert Report? I love the intro replacement already. How many more accessions can a gal be forced to make in the name of pop culture?

I must be out of the loop -- who's Rush? Actually they sound familiar; maybe I've totally forgotten of their existence? Hmmm. Btw, I'll link to your blog soon! I just need to figure out how to arrange some stuff on my blog first. Lol.

LOL! Oh, Tammy - you're about 30 years out of the loop, and not missing a damn thing!

Rush is a godawful 70's - 80's "rock" band, whose lead singer is abominably nasal. They haven't been on tv since before I was born (33 years, apparently) and I sure as hell wasn't missing them!

I just did a search in iTunes for "Rush" and sorted by popularity - the second song, "Tom Sawyer", is probably their most well-known. And the clip gives you a good idea exactly what their sound is. Just imagine *that* going on for 5 - 10 minutes per song (they are notoriously long-winded).

Oh, and don't sweat the linking! I certainly don't :~D
