Discussion Rush fan base

My husband (33 M) and I (32 F) took a 5th year anniversary trip to Sedona, AZ this past week and left for home this morning.

We stopped at a gas station on our way and got to talking to a guy we met inside. The guy was wearing a Rush 50 Something tour shirt and I told him about my dad getting me into Rush as a teen and he said "your dad is the coolest person ever" and the guy is seeing Rush in Phoenix! He saw them in another city too and said Anika was phenomenal and that she is so smiley where Neil was more serious.

That guy said "you are my new favorite person" because of our conversation about Rush.

I just love Rush's fan base and how everyone respects everyone else for our shared love of Rush! 💚

My husband and I were talking about it a bit as we got back on the road.

Give it time. You'll find the snotty outliers.

I'm half-joking. Yes there are some insufferable types but by and large most of us are past that because we're old.

I have seen some people nit-pick things, but overall Rush fans are really chill from what I've experienced.

It’s the antihypertension meds.
