Well, we knew they would not tour anymore, but apparently, they've pretty much pulled the plug altogether.
 
 

Where will all the dudes who can't get chicks go to hear live music now?

40 years is a heck of a career. I wouldn't blame them for quitting, but somehow I think they might be back.

The first show I saw was right after Neal joined and they did Fly By Night. Around New Year's 74/75. At a club in suburban Chicago. I've attended some wonderful shows, but like some other things, the first time was special.
 
Small club. Standing right in front of Geddy, trying to learn the fingerings. Maybe cost $5 to get in. More than once, I paid hundreds to get that close again.
 
Thank you, Geddy, Alex and Neal! I truly hope you enjoy your retirement and finally get to spend some of the money I've happily contributed to your accounts!

Reminds me of something I saw on Facebook last week. The detours that creativity can take...
 

Well that was fun.

The weird thing is that for most of my life, I absolutely hated Rush.
 
Until a few years ago.
 
Then I got it. So much that I now consider them one of if not the greatest rock band ever. And I still managed to miss their last show...

Oddly, the early stuff left me cold. I took to them around Moving Pictures and Permanent Waves. Really liked the mid '80s stuff, Power Windows and Hold Your Fire, which I know isn't the fans favourite period.
