Stormtron Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I only have a dubbed cassette with Tom Sawyer, Spirits of the Radio, and a part of Zanadu on it (cut off the Chicago Bulls intro). I listen to it a lot though.Doesn't matter. If you don't have every album on original vinyl, reissue vinyl, 8-track cassette, CD, 97 remastered CD, and sectors box set CD, not to mention the Chronicles compilation, the Retrospective compilations, The Spirit of Radio Greatest Hits, the Gold compilation, the Icon Compilation, and the Time Stand Still collection, I'm afraid we can't count you as a true fan. And Archives. Can't forget that. I forgot to mention my custom Sharpie "Geddie Lee 4ever" shirt. Am I true now?I've been looking for one of those for years. You have my envy. You don't by any chance have a Rush corkscrew do you? No, sorry :( I only drink box wine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 A teenage boy reads somewhere that the logo on the first Rush album was supposed to be red, but because of a printing error it came out looking pink. The boy spends about an hour carefully coloring in the logo on the record sleeve with a red magic marker. This makes him a) a fanb) a fanaticc) a "fanboy"d) kind of a sad loser p.s. I'm not saying it was me... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g under p Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 A true Rush fan never thinks about who a true Rush fan is or considers criteria about what constitutes a true Rush fan. A true Rush fan also never cares about whether anyone else considers them a true fan or not. Ding, ding, ding bingo from the first response. I don't know if there is such a thing as a true or false Rush fan, we are Rush fans to differing degrees but we are all still Rush fans. Some may think it's crazy that I've seen the band 49 times since the GUP Tour but I'm still a Rush fan no matter what and they are my number 1 Rock band period. Going to my 50th+ on the next tour R40. This is from my profile....Best Rush ExperienceTOO many to mention, well one was on the HYF Tour Capital Centre MD they played Red Sector A. I yelled out that's one my favorite RUSH songs and girl behind said mine too but I don't think she believed me. Well, we sang the words face to face like we were battling each other then gave high 5s + hugs. Over time many Rush fans are coming out of the closet bit by bit.

I went to a liquor store and they had champagne for three dollars a bottle. This was in early 1981. I thought to myself: Splendid! Champagne at a reasonable price!! We got to the party and I handed over my prize champagne bottles. Later someone went to open it and discovered it had twist-off caps. :rfl: :rfl: :rfl: I never lived that one down. :) Edited January 31, 2015 by Lorraine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Some fought themselves, some fought each otherMost just followed one anotherLost and aimless like their brothersFor their Hearts were so unclearAnd the Truth could not appearTheir spirits were dividedInto blinded hemispheres I wonder what nerdy person wrote those lyrics anyway.

Disk98 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 A true Rush fan is someone who truly loves Rush. It's that simple. I am a true Rush fan, and being on a forum dedicated to Rush I'd say most of you are all true Rush fans as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JARG Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 And the term "fanboy" is used derogatively. I want to know what that is? A fanboy is someone who can't find any serious shortcomings with the band and/or they take it personally when others do find shortcomings. A fanboy is quick to defend Rush against any and all complaints, as if Rush was their mother or something. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
