CygnusGal Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I just wanted to take a moment to say hello to everyone in NWW. I always thought I was alone. I am the only woman that I've known about who is a Rush *freak*, at least until now. Geddy, Alex and Neil could get up on stage and hoot like owls for 2 hours and I'd be there holding a lighter up screaming my fool head off the whole time - and I'd buy a program and t-shirt. I adore Geddy so much I bought a bass at age 15 and learned to play. Geddy's bass tone on Moving Pictures is the coolest thing I've heard in my life. One of the highlights of my life was a meet a greet with Geddy and Alex (2008) and having my picture taken with them. Geddy and Alex put their arms around me! OMG! Reading this forum's posts, I see many intelligent and insightful comments. I look forward to reading posts from like (and some non-like) minded individuals and perhaps even make a friend or two along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely! We're such a rare breed, we have to stick together! Women who love Rush because they're Rush and not because their date reluctantly dragged them to a concert or they tolerated their partner playing that same song/album over and over - "...humming your favourite song, you know I've hated that song for so long..." (and I have to admit, I do like that song). This is the only place I've found where I can talk about Rush and not have *everyone* roll their eyes <sheesh...she's still talking about f-ing Rush...> I feel blessed & grateful. Thank you.

The shows at the Gorge and Boise, I was at also. Plus any show that were in the Bay Area from 1979- 1991 You were in Boise in 97? Very cool. I thought it was only a fair show, especially after the spectacular show that was George, WA! How can anyone not love saying I saw Rush at The Gorge at George Washington - their largest crowd until Rio. I drove from Boise with 3 other female friends, met a fourth in Tacoma and drove to Ellensburg. I was really surprised to see them in Boise - I always figured once I moved to Boise, I was abandoning things like music, arts, culture, human contact... Not a correct evaluation (I was quite surprised), but we didn't get many shows back then. Much, much bigger now. 1979. That would have been amazing, but was two years before I started listening to them (that would have been during my Styx/Moody Blues/Pat Benatar era....good bands, but hardly Rush). from another newbie!

As if that weren't enough, he remembered me from the meet and greet and smiled and winked at me (my brother witnessed it) *while he was playing onstage*!!! :swoon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
