Snow-Dog2112 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Dear TRF veiwers, I have just read and signed the online petition: "The Rush Hall of Fame Campaign" hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition service, at: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/xanstar/ I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider signing yourself. Best wishes, Snow-Dog2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReflectedLight Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 is there a petition for not wanting them in the hall of fame and telling the hall of fame to go vote lady gaga in instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enemy Within 77 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Not this again. I hope like many others Rush NEVER gets inducted, and if they do they hopefully won't even show up to accept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I signed this a LONG time ago. I'll never ever understand why someone would want them to NOT be inducted. Yeah, the organization is bullshit and it's too little too late, but even a little bit of mainstream acceptance and respect is better than none IMHO...

This is my experience (I signed twelve years ago) and thoughts on the matter, too... Except for the part about "never ever" understanding the "I hope they never get inducted" mindset. I CAN understand that mindset, although I don't share it. QUOTE What is this petition you speak of? I have never heard of it. Ya gotta love how every six months another Newbie comes along and "makes us aware," as if for the first time, of this Hall of Fame petition thing. We didn't know about this! Thanks, rook!

treeduck Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Why do so many people on here appear to be obsessed with this crap?? I've seen a hundred threads on this... Just listen to the albums, go to the concerts, go about your business and forget about it, if it happens it happens, if it don't it don't, like the weather...

D3strukt Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I don't want them to get recognition. Then we'll have fan boys running rampart saying "Oh god TSOR and TS are my favorite songs". I want them to be my little thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never, ever wanted Rush to be a secret shared by few. Their music is too great for that. It needs to be admired by as many countless millions as possible. To deprive anyone of the right to experience Rush is a crime. IMHO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those people don't realize that there's better music out there. Some of them might love Rush if they were exposed to them. There are people on this board who used to listen to pop music before someone was kind enough to introduce them to Rush or they came across them somehow. You don't even want those people to be given the chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3strukt Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 No, I don't. Most people will just go "Oh, they suck." I've dealt with the crowd before, it just doesn't work. They aren't for everyone, and I'd really like it to stay that way. I don't want them to be like Led Zeppelin, or The Beatles, I like them the way they are. Just like Porcupine Tree. I'd shit if they played Stadiums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stole my post. It won't mean much to them either because of who the Hall has been nominating lately (Blondie, Chic, Madonna, Bon Jovi) and because of who they're shunning (Deep Purple, any good prog act that hasn't sold out). The boys know this, which is why we hear certain comments from them, like Alex saying in an interview, "I couldn't care less...look who's up for induction." It's great whenever the boys get mainstream recognition. They've been getting more of that these days, and that's cool. If they get nominated for the RRHOF, fine. If they actually get in, fine. The boys will be class acts about it and make a fine scripted speech and move on. But it won't mean much to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
