Rolinda Bonz Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Hey, BigG, Your girlfriend is right. We are not real. You will never see, hear, touch, taste or smell a Rush Forum poster. Your girlfriend is very real. Go with that. Maybe even let her like what she likes without trying to change her? Here's a thought. How about asking her to be tunemaster for an evening. Let her pick out what the two of you listen to, and then listen to it. If you do not have anything nice to say, then do not say anything. But if you like the music or the way she listens to it, then tell her specifically what you like and why. Just do not say anything you do not mean. It will only come back to haunt you later. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't like Rush because its the 'in' thing to do. We genuinely like their music, we are appreciative of fine music, and we know quality when we see it. Tell your 'angel' that if I thought about marketing myself as a little baby, when I first started enjoying Rush, then the world has got it all wrong about the wee folk... on my dear friend, on!!! Couldn't have said it better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunarMermaid32 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Wow! You guys have been getting it DONE in here whilst I have been gone for the holiday. Just a few comments... 1. Some people (male & female alike) will not ever like Rush. That is just how it is (and how its going to be. haha). I generally make it a point to educate them and hope that if they don't like Rush, that they can at least respect them. 2. It is ALWAYS okay to wear Rush clothing. Always. Mr. Lunar doesn't like Rush music, but he does not complain when I wear the CP shirt around the house that I bought when I was 11. He even appreciates it. But then, it is a very small shirt. 3. Sexism exists even in the Rush world? Say it ain't so. It exists everywhere, I guess, but I have noticed that Rush men are, by and large, much more open-minded and accepting of strong female influences than other guys. You guys in here all rock, by the way. \m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigG Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 All 'sound' advice. Y'know I'd never want to change my g'friend (not that would if I tried). And it's actually nice that we have something we don't share - after so many years you watch the same movies hear the same stuff - it skinda I bit of me she'll NEVER understand. She's just baffled why a man who listens to ambient electronica 98% of the time would listen to Rush (cos it's the opposite and has intensity). ...but wierdly I was singing to my daughter (2 years) the other day and she told me to Shhh when I got singing Rush - maybe there is an inate Rush resistor gene being passed down on the female side. ps the g'friend read your replies and thinks you're all lovely (but still prefers Dolly Parton to Rush) G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cantorpenny Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 I have to admit, I have been a little skeptical of this site but it is nice to have such a strong sister hood for, un doubtedly, the best band to grace the airwaves.

Disco Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 The clip of your daughter dancing is all working at this end, and it's very very sweet. Um, ladies, how long do you leave it before mentioning to dates / menfolk that you like Rush? Are there any signs (other than wearing Rush t-shirts and the like) that men give out which make you think it's OK, I can tell him?

Love to everybody Disco Don't know a good answer there. . . except that he'd probably find out soon into the courtship, or what have you, that I am a fan, especially if he rode in my car with me!! It's all I play most of the time As far as signs? Yeah if he wore a Rush shirt I'd be launching into my Rush "story" shortly there after lol. But if he didn't, and didn't bring it up or have any cds or memoribilia around his house. . . I'd probably just ease it into a conversation at some point. Hope that helps!
