1. Aw man can't the OTHER Rush retire first?

Not that I'm a big Rush fan - but I would rather listen to "Hemispheres" on repeat for eternity than sit through one Rush Limpballs show

2. You are evil.

That is all

6. They're still together?

Who knew?

[Darth_Kitten]

7. Sounds like they are rushing into it....

think it over!

[madinmaryland]

8. Dude! They have been retired for over 20 years!

[flvegan]

9. Who?

[Zomby Woof]

10. They haven't done a worthwhile album since 1982

"Signals" was Terry Brown's swan song as their producer. He actually was the 4th member of Rush because they got really dull and monochromatic without him. New Rush albums used to mark musical growth for them, but after "Signals", the biggest challenge was just staying awake long enough to get through Side One.

11. I saw them in 2002

They're awesome live.

[Zomby Woof]

14. I saw them in '82 and '84

Of course, I am old.

12. Fuck.

Now they're gonna play Tom Sawyer even MORE often.

Pardon me while I seek out my pepper spray and the location of a soon-to-be-unfortunate radio DJ at my local "rock" station.

I'm assuming this is a rickroll, but I just had to get that off my chest. Rush is really overrated, and that song blows chunks.

13. You are partially correct.

It's a Jesusroll, not a rickroll.

15. On my birthday!! The Perfect Present!!

And no, I'm not dumb enough to click on that link.

16. Lawrence Welk Fundie Ska is worse than being Rick-Rolled.

If I were that host, they'd all get Buford T Justice kicks to the ass.

17. Should have retired in 1973, but better late than never.

What Canadian band will take their place on the Suckapalooza tour?
Guess Who?
