snowdogged Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I thought it would be a interesting topic. Name some famous people who are Rush fans and give a description of how you found out they where Rush fans. I'll start off with a few. Tim Mcgraw Here is a clip from an interview on Larry King. KING: So you like groups like... MCGRAW: The Eagles -- big Eagles fan. I love Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, of course. I love Phil Collins, which I guess is a little more '80s but I love those guys in Genesis. Rush. Big Rush fan. Alabama, of course, one of my all-time favorites. Warren Cromartie who played for the Montreal Expos was also a drummer and use to jam with Rush. Artie Lange from the Howard Stern show is a big Rush fan and often brings them up on the show and also mentions Rush in his Stand-up DVD. I know of more but I'll let the rest of you name some. This should be interesting. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
