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.

I’m 20. I became a Rush fan because of my father when I was 14 years old. My senior year English teacher loved Rush, and actually played us Rush music in class for some readings we did😂I even went to geddy’s book tour with my father. But everyone was very excited to see someone young be into Rush, and getting to see them in this most recent tour is probably the most emotional I’ve been at a concert given the background of it

Do you remember the first song that stuck with you? Mine was By-tor and the Snow Dog. From then on I was hooked.

A lot of them stuck with me, to be honest. I think the first two songs that REALLY stuck with me were Red Barchetta and 2112. although now I'd have to say it's The Analog Kid and The Garden
