controversial.  when i was learning guitar people often told me to get into Rush but everything I heard was crap!  sort of like a thinking man's Cheap Trick or something...

Yeah - I'm off to see Rush twice in the next couple of weeks.
I didn't get into Rush until I was about 30. That's the biggest mistake I
ever made.
I hate preaching about music but there ain't nothing that comes anywhere
close to the quality of Rush's lyrics and music.

Oh well, I'm not going to preach anymore, honest.
I was grateful to the guy who got me into KJ, and I was very grateful to the
guy who got me into Rush.
I know at least two other people who love both.
I certainly don't follow Man Utd, but I can't be arsed with the standard
hating of them. I save all my hatred for the 'c' word. I don't like actually
saying it or writing it in full but they bought three of our (WHU) best
players.
