CygnusGal Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 A&E was on the TV on Tuesday (mid- to late- afternoon) in the datacenter "command center", I'm listening to CA (still) - and one of my co-workers gets my attention. "Hey, Rush", she said. And there was a TV commercial for Rush - now on tour...coming to a city near you....get the new album... Then, the VW commercial comes on. And the person I relate to is the guy in the crosswalk - yeah! - as I'm standing in the datacenter with hands raised...as if to fly...and my co-workers looking on. is she okay?

mgcygnus Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 So I'm laying in bed TV on with volume muted. This commercial comes on and I see the guy air drumming and I think, this has to be a Rush tune. Sure enough.... My biggest surprise was the song selection. Figured TS,or SOR.

Kubla~Khan Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I love it! Although, everyone that knows I'm a Rush fan is either calling me or asking me if I've seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curly Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 QUOTE (RUDT @ Sep 25 2012, 04:22 AM) When the band is going to retire, they will become the most popular band, because everyone that like them secretly will suddenly express their affection, like some controversial artist who get more credits when he die then when he was alive... Exactly. I've been saying this for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow, in some way, all RUSH geeks of the world are slightly cooler because of this commercial. Still dosn't mean we'll be getting the chicks, though.

They're getting some heavy rotation; I've seen it about 5 or 6 times today. During the Pats game, TS was playing at the stadium in Buffalo. Rush is everywhere!

rushfanNlv Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Holy crap! I fell asleep watching TV today (totally threw off my whole day BTW) and I thought I dreamed this. I heard the song in my sleep like three times and just assumed it was a dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusGal Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I mentioned the commercial at a meeting this morning and the entire room turned to look at me and said they all thought of me when they saw it. I think I've made an impression. Obviously, I'm doing something right! Everyone in my life hears Rush and thinks of me. And, I'm not alone, I'm sure it happens to most of you too.
