Never Is the Next New Thing

I’m in a Rush Today

by

It’s been like 1982 around here because I can’t stop listening to Rush.  “Subdivisions” sure rang true for me in high school.

My best friend and I had crushes on Rush vocalist/keyboardist/bassist Geddy Lee.

Geddy Lee. Hotter than Justin Bieber could ever be.

The bassists always get to me.

  2. I would’ve never guessed you a Rush fan! Glutton for punishment I guess but the drummers and lead singers always got me.

  6. My gorgeous husband is a bass player! I know what you mean about bassists, they are cool without needing all the attention (or trying too hard)! I can’t wait to show him this post!! Thanx for sharing!

  9. I’ve never heard of anyone having a crush on that dude 🙂 My college boyfriend loved that band… hmmm… perhaps a little too much!

  10. Bassists get to me, too, including Peter Hook, Cliff Burton and Lemmy.

    Also: I look forward to the day you have a crush on me when I turn up with a bass of my own. ;P

    And “Subdivisions” is one of my favorite songs from Rush! I’m also partial to “Tom Sawyer” and “Roll the Bones.”

  11. I have to say I’m surprised 🙂 Have you seen the recent documentary on them. Really fascinating. I don’t much love them but they’re ubiquitous here. Geddy Lee lives in TO and I used to see him at this coffee place in Rosedale all the time.

  12. thanks , Wendy !
    I tried to give options and ways to support while buying something 😉
    i sometimes need a shoping fix during a crisis 😉

  13. Spagetti Lee!

    I saw Rush a couple of years ago, and they had a wall of working chicken rotisseries onstage.

  17. Just last night while dining at 3 Doors Down, my friend from work Sarah and I were talking about bass players, how sexy they are. I also mentioned that as far as I’m concerned, the bass makes the music what it is.

    Of course I shall wear that hat when you come to Portland to visit, WendyB. By then I will have surely located the dozen or so others that I have, and we can wear all of them, interchangeably. Deal?

  18. How ironic – my sweetie just bought me the Signals CD (and 6 others from a used store because he knows how much I love RUSH) and I have been jamming out to it! And, of course, time travelling in my head to the past.

  21. I’m going to be in the Limelight when I exercise my Free Will and buy that Red Barchetta I’ve had my eye on.

  22. I would never have guessed you for a Rush fan! We have all their albums and they are the best band I’ve ever seen live. I hope you loved the ongoing tribute to them in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”, and as K-Line above says, you should see the documentary about them by Sam Dunn (of “Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey” fame, and from my home town), “Beyond the Lighted Stage.”

    Bassists are sexy. 🙂
