hunter Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 From stargirl facebook: Neil has gone on to the tour location. So it'll be Geddy and Alex accepting the star and Neil's on his way to New Mexico I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it'll be Geddy and Alex accepting the star and Neil's on his way to New Mexico I guess. Shocking news, Neil dodging anything the band does except for what he absolutely has to do, not even going to something like this which is a huge honor. Seems to me like he skips all the things he doesnt get paid for, and shows up at the shows, where he does get paid. What a team player. Im pretty certain that if they ever get inducted in to the hall of fame, Geddy and Alex will be playing an acoustic set that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure it was completely an impossibility for a rich rock star to find a way to attend his own bands honoring. I dont care what anyone ever says, the guy is a total dick. Thats said, he makes great music and thats all that matters, but he is still a dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 As much as Neil tends to dodge these kinds of things, I am actually a little surprised that he's not going to this one. I mean this is a pretty cool thing and I would think it's kind of a big deal. Some of the other interviews and stuff, I get, but this is just something that is an honor and a ceremony... I will say Alex and Geddy are definitely troopers for always covering for him. I don't know Neil and I'm not going to throw out "Neil's a dick", but I would think being there with and for his bandmates would be important to him...or maybe not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you he was still healing from the loss of his wife and daughter. I am sure if Rush were inducted into the R&R Hall Of Fame that Neil would be there. I mean he showed up at the Canadian Songwriters Hall Of Fame didn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spok Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 seeing how this is their RNRHOF induction, I'd like to think Neil should be there but if he doesn't want to be there, then so be it. Geddy and Alex have been flying the public and press flag since 1997 so its nothing new. I was suprised to see him on Colbert and actually talk.
