Rush Doesn't Suck
« on: April 15, 2009, 08:48:35 AM »
Chip told me so.

Quote"You heard right," said TBS sports announcer Chip Caray, grandson of legendary Chicago Cubs announcer Harry Caray. "I'm a fan of Rush, to put it mildly. I tell people, and they go, 'Really?' which is sad. How many hate what they do? [Rush enjoys] what they do. One song goes, 'The pride of purpose in an unrewarding job.' I'm a 44-year-old who quotes Rush—so be it. I'm proud to be a fan, and I don't mind saying it. We're everywhere now."

Bear in mind, Chip supposedly likes baseball, too.

That quote is awful, though.  (shivers)
I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

I'm pretty sure this validates my view that Rush sucks.

What a bizarre fucking article.

QuoteBut even more notable, perhaps, is that these days Rush is less likely to be a target of snark than reverence. And with reason: The Rushinati have infiltrated the power structure. For instance, the Rushinati control the media: Stephen Colbert is a fan; "I Love You, Man" director John Hamburg and "Adventureland" director Greg Mottola are big fans; Victor Lisle, creative director for WGN-AM (owned by Tribune Co.), will talk your ear off about the grandeur of a Rush concert; Metallica lobbied for Rush's inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during its own induction speech this month; Paul Rudd is a longtime fan, as is Billy Corgan, who, before forming Smashing Pumpkins, honed his chops covering Rush in high school bands.

Victor Lisle?

The Victor Lisle?

Also...

QuoteIn Chicago—for decades, one of the band's primary markets—the Rushinati have stayed silent but present. They have held the mound at Wrigley Field (former Cub Matt Clement is a die-hard Rushinati). They are college instructors. They run computers at financial institutions. They own scores of businesses around Chicago, and they have their hands on the world's purse strings.

Truly the cream of the world's elite. A regular bunch of John Galts.
"So, this old man comes over to us and starts ragging on us to get down from there and really not being mean. Well, being a drunk gnome, I started yelling at teh guy... like really loudly."

It does. Rush and their 20-minute songs blow.

Rush doesn't suck. Far from it in my opinion.

I don't like Rush, but I do like playing their songs in Rock Band.  What does that mean?

Your mom.

Well, once again I'm with BH here. I don't think Rush sucks.
I'm not sitting here wearing the shit or listening to the albums, but of all the bands to pile on, Rush seems hardly worthy.

Plus, they put on a great show. Or at least did in 1993 the one time I saw them.

That said, I'm pretty sure people who are really into Rush suck.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

I'm with you on this.

Not a big fan myself, but they are quite talented musicians. If they had a different lead singer, they'd be huge.

Pen will only celebrate if Rush dies. Not if they just suck.
Take that, Adolf Eyechart.

I will never celebrate, I will only laugh.
