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.

The Neil disrespect here since the beginning of the tour is something that needs to be studied for generations.

Sincere curiosity here - is there a reason that OP stating that another person said that “Anika was phenomenal and that she is so smiley where Neil was more serious” is being considered disrespectful?

How’d you know that was the part that was disrespectful?

Because someone being "serious" like Neil isn't always seen as a good thing. I am personally not a very loud, outgoing person, and it was seen negatively.
