And it’s raining outside....
One album which I listened to death to when I was living in Chicago (see, back in 1979, it had not yet become the Народный Социалистический Город-Государство Чикага*) and was going to college at DeVry (before it became DeVry University) was Rush’s ”Hemispheres," the follow-up to their 1977 hit “A Farewell To Kings.” I decided to download it tonight from iTunes and savor my younger days.
WOW! I had forgotten how driving their music was back then. It kicked serious a** back in 1979, and it still kicks a** today! I know my college buddy John, who introduced me to Rush back then, would get a kick out of hearing this again.
I kinda wonder what Rush’s modern music is like, now. So if there are any Rush Fans out there, let me know where I can start. Thanks!

* - People’s Socialist City-State of Chicago

Like you, I don’t know much about the new stuff, but saw a few Rush concerts & listened to MANY songs from the old 2112, Farwell to Kings, Hemispheres, etc. back then.  I may have to dig out anything that I have gotten in cd form, just to add to my ipod.  The older stuff with a beat is really good for mowing lawn and stuff.  Yeah, I’m getting old - I know…

Thanks for the days smile !
