How does Rush look bad? I don't see the harm in them going on another tour if t
hey want to. They're drawing a lot of fans; I'd go see them but the ticket pric
es are a bit high (which does seem a little odd).

I like the songs and their skill with their instruments. Alex is a great guitar
ist, Geddy is a great bassist & keyboardist, and Neil Peart was one of the best
drummers in music. Their music had a particular sound (and it changed a bit as
they changed their style a bit through the years). And I think the lyrics in ma
ny of their songs are good too.
I think they're good people too. In interviews & such, I have the sense that th
ey're just good people, and they don't take themselves too seriously.
