I grew up listening to these guys and they originated from where I grew up. In fact, I worked for them for a week at Houston studios once when they were getting ready for their tour of Africa. Yes, they've been everywhere and they're probably the coolest 'rednecks' on the planet - not to mention - some of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. 'Legs' is one of my all-time favorite music videos from the 'Eliminator' release, for several reasons...(which are probably obvious), but there is so much cool in this video. The story is complex for a music video and there's a lot to think about. It's also full of good times and, well, there are only a few other words to say... Fuzzy White Guitars! Have fun, my friends! I do every time I watch it...even after all these years! :P (y)

It's very cool to see #Rush doing their 40th anniversary thing... ( GEEZ! Am I really that old? O_o) Few things make me happier than seeing such an awesome, intelligent and highly impressive (for only 3 members) group do so well for so long, in spite of their lack of support from the industry (probably because they're not now...nor ever were...a cookie-cutter, corporate-hatched 'product'). They're the real deal and brave enough to explore the horizons. They've influenced countless millions, no doubt. They faded in and out of large-scale popularity over the years - mostly as a result of always trying to stay relevant...and managed to last as long as they have...in an age when most new bands we hear today won't even be a memory a year from now. I've seen this band seven times live and, on my eighth show, I was part of the crew (Test For Echo). A memorable experience. They're probably one of my favorite bands to see live... Keep on rockin' guys...! In the 90s, when they were mostly going through a keyboard phase and some people lost interest, there were still several awesome tunes. Even when the music wasn't as good, the lyrics always were. They nearly always had a good message and a timely one, too. Here's an example of good music and lyrics - even during one of their rough spells - at least, it's one I always liked...I hope you like it too. http://ift.tt/1oVRigh
