He was pretty stoked when one of the Doctor Who bonus features used Countdown as the audio track a number of years ago.
And he didn't grow up a Rangers or Yankees fan so think it was mostly a success.

I remember playing Clockwork Angels when we were in the car one time, not long after it was released, and I told them that they guys who made that music are almost as old as their grandparents. They were floored.
Other than that...well, when I have a live DVD on, they both love to watch Neil's solos.

There's hope for all of us

It really does. I haven't framed it because I don't have a place to hang it. Sam graduated with her Master's degree last may and just landed a great job. She is going to be looking for a new place to live very soon. I plan on framing this, plus a few other things of hers I have, and giving them to her as a "house warming" present.

I took both of them with me to see the R40 tour and the songs they looked forward to were pretty typical of casual Rush fans (Tom Sawyer, Subdivisions, Closer to the Heart, Roll the Bones). Needless to say, there weren't disappointed in the show. The one song in the show that stood out for my oldest was Distant Early Warning. He thought they performed that really well.
I wonder sometimes what it would have been like to be exposed to 30+ years worth of Rush all at the same time the way my kids were. Every album, song and style that the band had gone through on an even keel. Would my favorites be different?

Ditto here. Sam is so lucky in so many ways, but the time she spent with the band I hope will be a high point in her life forever.

I in turn have made no effort to turn my stepchildren on to them.....they are all adults now, and I don't think we've mentioned them more than fleetingly over the years.

Indeed. My son appreciates and has seen rush but has sought out and found his own favorites.

I certainly appreciate (and agree with) those who say they want their kids just to become who they're going to be- with their own tastes, likes and dislikes, etc...absolutely.
But I also like the fact that mine take a liking to certain things that I expose them to- and especially Rush.
It isn't a matter of trying to make them like all the same things I do. But it's really cool to find out that they like some of the same Rush songs that I love, too. That's all.
