You know you're a Rush fan when...

1) When you actually have a plaque of Rush in your room even though it says "Won zero Grammies" on it.

 

2) When you go to France during Bastille Day

 

3) When you try to find the constellation of Cygnus every night during the summer when it's out.

When you've obsessed over Rush so much that you don't even have to tell your friends when you hear an accidental Rush reference, THEY ALREADY KNOW

 

When your friend says she's going to see the musical Xanadu and the first words out of your mouth are "Are they singing Xanadu in that play?!" :)

 

...you're beyond disappointed when you discover the song by Rush is not the Xanadu your friend was referencing when she said yes. :(

You know you're a Rush fan when:

albums and DVD's.

them.

7. You check out the music of bands that have opened for Rush to see

what the combination of them and Rush may have been like.

 

8. Your girlfriend/boyfriend tells you its either her/him or going to a

Rush concert. You go to the concert.

 

9. Your wife/husband tells you to "grow up" and stop listening

to/watching/going to see Rush and being such a fanatic to the band

or she/he will file for divorce. You call your lawyer.

The only reason you ever watched the first season of Andromeda (despite loving Kevin Sorbo almost as much as you do the boys) is because Alex did the theme song.

 

Granted, I've always thought he should have done all the music, but I can't have everything right?

wow, i never knew that!! now, i HAVE to check it out!! RUSHON EVERYONE!! :dweez:

You know your a true Rush fan when...

 

You sweat harder then Alex at a concert.

You bought Rush's discography on tape and vinyl just because you can.

You can sing the solo from I Think I'm Going Bald.

The Boys in Brazil from Rush In Rio changed your life.

You know you will cry when Rush does there last tour.

Rivendell is an amazing song!

You celebrate Bastille Day.

Had your own roadtrip to Lakeside Park.

You compared Anthem the book to the storyline of 2112.

Your 2112 post on any forum is a reason to celebrate.

You can air keyboard any Rush song.

You own all of the Rush compilations even though you already have them on cds.

you know, i clicked on your link for your music reviews....and of course, i just scrolled down to the Rs and clicked on - yes, Rush. Something bothered me: On your reviewing of Caress of Steel, you pretty much threw 'i think i'm going bald' to the curb. I very much disagree with that.....you're just not ready to be listening to that kind of ADVANCE Rush, you're on your infant stages still. But trust me, when the time comes....this song will become personal ;) anyways, just had to bust xops for a bit, great job on the webpage hope you continue. :D :rush: :haz:

1.) Literature classes are much easier to ace when what you have to read sounds strangely familiar.

2.) You're female and the whole "no chicks at a Rush concert" stereotype is really getting to you personally.

3.) You make decisions in life based on what each band member would do and choose from only those three options.

4.) If someone brags that they once saw The Beatles live, you just roll your eyes.

5.) Your answer to "Can you name The Holy Trinity?" in Catholic school gets you sent to the principal's office yet again.

You know you're NOT a Rush fan when you're disgusted by this:
