Rush Return To Television, Thanks To Stephen Colbert - NegPhil - 07-17-2008
Rush: great progressive synth-rock sci-fi band or the greatest progressive synth-rock sci-fi band of all time?
Brace yourself, folks. After more than 30 years without a television appearance, the boys are bringing ol' Tom Sawyer down from his landing for a live performance with Mr. Truthiness himself, Stephen Colbert. The two North American superpowers meet tonight (July 16) at 11:30 p.m. ET, when the members of Rush will yet again prove that they are Canada (and so can you).
While it may seem as though the pairing lacks congruity, one need only look to one of the 10,000 things named after Colbert in the last few years to see where the similarities begin. Colbert's namesake hockey team, the Saginaw Spirit, plays in the Ontario Hockey League. Rush is from Ontario. Lead vocalist Geddy Lee was once given the award for "Coolest Bass Line In A Song" by Bass Player magazine for his riff on "Malignant Narcissism," which could theoretically be the name of the eventual Stephen Colbert made-for-TV movie.
Tune in tonight as Rush gets back into the limelight. Catch the mystery, y'all.

I watched it last night, I tell you that guy is my hero.
Half the interview he was talking about his 59 Lincoln he is trying to convert into a hybrid.

The other half of the interview he talked about the CSNY movie coming out.
I was kind of funny though, he had on an old shirt and pants that had paint splatter all over them, it looked like he had just left his house from painting in his garage or something. Any other celebrity you would think this was some sort of fashion statement, but Neil...............he probably just left his house from painting in his garage............ :thumb:

When I read your original message in this thread, I must have read it too fast because I thought that Neil performed. Oh well, it still would have been cool to see him being interviewed. Yeah, he probably just finished painting his barn before the show taped.
