But a lot of Rush fans seem to.
I don't get it.
RUSH fans are just being selfish, IMO. They want RUSH to be inducted so they can feel good about themselves, so they be vindicated.
For how many years have RUSH fans been dissed, or felt the need to not reveal themselves to be RUSH fans? How many fans have felt like they were seen as outcasts, or nerds, or just plain stupid? The band's induction would prove to all those detractors that their fans were RIGHT all along.
PERSONAL VINDICATION. That is why so many fans want the band inducted. Just my opinion, of course....
I disagree. I don't need vindication. I want Rush in the hall of fame because they deserve to be recognized as one of the greatest bands of all time. You know damn well that when Metallica got in they were proud as punch to stand on that stage as were the many other truly deserving artists that have been inducted. The guys in this band deserve that same recognition and more and they can say they don't care until the cows come home. I believe they would absolutely love it.
