In the interest of reliving my youth a bit, I decided to post the Rush tour dates for 2008. I still have a small spot in my heart for the old Rush, reminding me of the rides to school in my buddies Mustang, Red Barchetta blasting from the speakers, my mullet blowing in the wind, and that o so familiar odor mixed with the morning air.

Rush were the shit back in the day, and if it weren’t for Rush we wouldn’t have bands like Coheed and Cambria. Is that a good thing? Sure it is. Music geeks need geeky music to geek out over every now and then.
