Just heard the news that Geddy's mother passed. In the few interviews I've seen with her she came across as such a sweet, kind hearted lady, which obviously rubbed off on her son. May her memory be a blessing.

Thank you RUSH for your wonderful, inspiring, incredible music that transcended the years of my life (I’m 52). I have listened to RUSH since I first heard 2112 when I was 11 years old. They served as my inspiration on a daily basis thru my high school years (I got sent home from school for wearing my Permanent Waves Concert T shirt because of the young lady and her “dress”), thru my undergraduate years, then thru my medical school school training. To this day, I still listen to RUSH all the time. I’ve seen the, in concert 74 Times. My dream is to one day shake Geddy, Alex and Neil’s hand and say thank you for having such a profoundly positive impact on my life. May ALEX, GEDDY AND NEIL all be blessed with excellent health, loving families and continued success. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. DOC DAVID 🙏

Snowdog ha! Dude, I’ve tried to win meet and greets soooo many times (my brother did one back during the days when Neil actually did them as well (I would say this was probably around 1982). I’ve tried so hard but just never been the right place at the right time.....I’ll certainly never stop hoping...🍻Doctor David

Wbrew pozorom Rush w Polsce nie jest zbyt popularny. Muzyka, poza wartościami intelektualnymi, to jednak biznes, który musi się spinać. Nie jestem pewien czy koncert Rush w dużej hali w Polsce (a tylko taki mógłyby być opłacalny dla organizatora) zapełniłby ją co do ostatniego miejsca (Rush to nie jest tani zespół). Moim zdaniem to jest jedyny powód dlaczego Rush nigdy nie zagrał w Polsce. Jednak z drugiej strony zastanawia mnie fakt jak to się udało w Pradze w 2004 roku (byłem tam, hala T-Mobile była pełna do bólu a cena biletu na miejsca stojące wynosiła 790 czeskich koron). Czy Czesi do tego dopłacili? Powątpiewam. Pytanie więc pozostaje otwarte. Nie myślę jednak, że miało to coś wspólnego z uprzedzeniami do naszego kraju w związku z historią Holokaustu w okresie II wojny światowej. Byłoby to przynajmniej niedorzeczne.

Bardzo lubie muzykę Rush. Ale wiadomości o Polsce ma takie jak kazdy z Ameryki Północnej. Gdzies tam ta Polska jest..nawet niektorzy mowia ze w Azji. Niestety w Polskich mediach itp. wmawia sie nam ze wszyscy na Świecie znaja sławnych Polaków, naszą historie i obecna sytacje polityczna. Niestety tak nie jest, nigdy nie było i nie bedzie. Przykladem moga byc np. Panstwa nam oscienne. Ilu z nas wie kto jest premierem czy prezydentem Czech, Slowacji..

Geddy bardzo popiera Ukrainę, a ludzie z tamtego kraju prawie moją rodzinę zabili. Więc nie wiem, czy on tak dba o to, czy Polska to nazistowski kraj, czy nie.

I don't think Geddy even likes Poland as much as he likes Ukraine. Both had some Nazi past, but according to me, Ukraine had worse and Poland more heroic, while according to him, Poland had more of a nazi past, while Ukraine more heroic. And I say that as someone who hates Russia's warmongering.

@JohnWeirdoe Жыл бұрын

Polish Nazi past as you have called it never really existed. Poland was attacked and invaded by German Nazis who established concentration and death camps on polish soil. Wholeheartedly, I encourage you to grab one of works of Timothy Snyder who is great historian with vast knowledge on Eastern Europe. All the best, Hugo.
