Rush



Rush is a Canadian rock band, which means that they play rock 'n' roll with maple syrup dumped all over it. Their concerts look like a demonstration of quantum string theory, and nobody likes theoretical physics.

The drummer and lyricist is obsessed with Ayn Rand. Obsessed.

Members of Rush

 * Geddy Lee - vocals, bass guitar, keys, pedals
 * Alex Lifeson - electric guitar, acoustic guitar, pedals
 * Neil Peart - percussion, deep thoughts

Rush Trivia

 * Rush has released 18 studio albums to date.
 * One of Rush's albums was actually just a singing paperback copy of The Fountainhead.
 * The 1983 hit "New World Man" is about how much Rush wishes that they could be American, because America is a New World Man, and he is hot. Allegedly, Geddy Lee had been having trouble with the ladies (just look at that schnozz and see if you can't figure out why!) and expressed his frustrations to lyricist Neil Peart, who immediately wrote the song as an expression of agreement.
 * Test for Echo, Rush's 1996 release, has an illustration of some Algonquin thing from Canada on it, which might explain why the album is so unpopular with, well, everybody except for people who are high (see: Canadians).
