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

[AnEggplant]

when you've done the math to see how old you would be if you lived until the year 2112 ... I'd be 146

111, hoping medicine will progress enough as to live, at least, one second. First thought in the morning.

 

When you make your father almost crash the car because u saw a 2112 and yelled.

 

114! We can do this. :D

When you can burp the intro to Subdivisons...

[tks95747]

When you are forced to go to Wal-Mart for emergency items and as you walk through the door the first thing that pops into your mind is "Though the void to be destroyed..."

You own the debut, Fly By Night, Caress of Steel, AND Archives for some ridiculous reason

You know you're a Rush fan when your friend is reading you her diary and she tells you to pick a random date and you pick January 7, 2020 and the diary entry is funny but you don't laugh. Edited August 20, 2020 by Flavia2112

[_hi_water._]

If you think Presto is their worst album ;)

[Flavia2112]

9/12 is more important to you than 9/11

You took a chemistry class, despite having no interest in science whatsoever

You're reading this

[Flavia2112]

You set your name on Zoom to the YYZ Morse code, then make your friend look up the song when she asks you what it says.

(true story--she stopped it after the Morse code part and I was shocked.)

You mean, because it's SO GREAT that if you think it's the worst you must think all other Rush is COMPLETELY, BEYOND-WORDS MINDBLOWING?
