Wil1972 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 I don’t see the big deal with his looks. In a few months he’ll be closer to 70 than 60 anyway. And we’ve all seen many worse looking 65 year olds. He looks happy there and that’s enough. Yea he looks okay to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron2112 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 To me, he looks like he's aged 10 years in the 3 years since they toured.When people who are in 60's or 70's etc. lose weight they usually do end up looking oldet as their wrinkles will become more defined after losing the fat.Maybe so. But he looks like an old man that's two years away from a home. For folks that hold out hope of another Rush tour, that picture MIGHT be the nail in the coffin. I actually had sort of an opposite reaction and thought that if he'd been in this shape while touring, he'd might not have been so f-ing miserable..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstateNYfan Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) Great to see them together again! And pretty sweet ride too! (Wonder if it's a Cobra or a kit - either way, fun, expensive and rare.) He looks pretty darn good for almost 66 after an incredibly full life. I have to admit that for a moment I hoped they talked shop, but something tells me the did not. I'm OK with that.

Fordgalaxy Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 What kinda car's that?Possibly an AC Cobra or replica of same. Ah right, from the pics i just checked you seem to be correct, thanks. You know your cars :)They don't call me fordgalaxy for nuthin'! (actually, nobody calls me that but I do likes me some cars). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowdogged Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I am surprised that no one tried to turn the fact that Gump captioned the picture "Always good to hang out with the boss." as a sign that Rush would be touring again since he said it in the present tense.

vaportrailer Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Geddy Lee no longer has the funkiest nose in Rush. Gump looks healthy. Is he still a drum-tech/working or was he able to retire as well? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Just keep'in it real, he looks ill I am sad to say. Hope I'm wrong but I have and have had no dillusion of them ever touring again anyway.

HemiBeers Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I don't buy the weight loss as illness. He's got extra time on his hands since retiring. Since he goes overboard with interests, it wouldn't surprise me that he went on a health kick. Hell, might be something I might do once I'm retired with more time to take care of myself. With 3 years since he retired, that's easily enough time to loose 30-40 pounds if you work at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the bottom freaking dropped out! My girlfriend and I and the couple we were with stopped at Academy to buy ponchos after we left the pub. And then, miraculously, the skies parted...light streamed down in bright, unbroken beams! Okay...that may be a stretch. But it did stop raining just in time for the show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstateNYfan Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Some of you guys are cruel and silly. Aside from the unglamorous nose issue there is absolutely nothing to report. We're all human - and if you're anything like me, I've taken plenty of just OK or unflattering pics. For dozens of possible reasons, he seems to have lost weight - personally, I think he looked healthier with some weight on him, but have you seen 60-something endurance athletes like runners? Oh, and that car is ridiculously badass. Edited June 1, 2018 by upstateNYfan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was almost poetic but boy was it muddy all around the place lol. Great show but as I said I knew it was my last. First show in 79' and that was the last. A great run... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
