With so much crap out there - whatever the likes of what is produced by 'American Idol' and so forth - he picks on Rush?

Mind you, Rush hasn't made an album worth a shit since 'Signals' in 1982. Then Terry Brown quit as their producer, and it was all boring and downhill (with the exception of a few cuts from 'Presto' and 'Counterparts'). But even the recent album's mediocrity is an elevation of most mass taste these days.

Despite Neil Peart's regrettable Ayn Rand affectations and lyrical pretensions, they have few instrumental peers and to be lumped in with the likes of butt-rock spandex clowns like Poison is grossly ignorant and tone deaf. But then again, consider the source.
