6 Rush-Related Videos To Brighten Your Day

By now, many of you have heard that after over four decades of service to rock and roll, Rush have likely called it a career.

Alex Lifeson told Toronto, Canada’s The Globe and Mail that, “We have no plans to tour or record anymore.  We’re basically done.  After 41 years, we felt it was enough.”

While this news will likely hit Rush fans hard, it’s difficult not to look back and simply be thankful for this iconic trio’s sheer existence.  Their influence isn’t just in music; it’s also carved a special place within the realms of pop culture, too.  With that in mind, check out these six Rush-related videos to help brighten your day.

We’re now convinced that any action scene can be made better with the inclusion to “Tom Sawyer.”  Also, according to fan site 2112.net, there’s a scene in the upcoming film based on “2112.”

This ABC throwback sitcom is never not funny, and in season three episode 21, viewers watch as Erica Goldberg gets introduced to Rush via her high school’s resident Rush super-fan Johnny Atkins.

No Rush list is really complete without at least one reference to I Love You, Man.  Never stop slappin’ da bass, my friends!

Even in a fictional world, it’s just nice to hear Rush refer to an absolute asshat of a character like Jonah Ryan as “odious.”

From the wonderfully jubilant speech from Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins to Lifeson’s uproariously absurd acceptance speech, Rush’s Rock Hall induction is simply one of the best in recent memory.  (WARNING:  Some NSFW language ahead.)
