I call groundhog day, one month late. We had the hate-Rush/Rush-is-ok argument on bryce yesterday in this time slot, in efd on weds night, etc. :) What *is* it about Rush? Why not hate on Kansas every so often? :) |

Any Muffs today, Michael? |

because rush gets mentioned a whole lot more than kansas? it's also my contention that all bands named after places suck. |

Michael Shelley:
the movie about Rush is great - but their music doesnt work for me |
|
|
♥
Sat. 3/2/13 12:18pm
Mike East:
@G - probably because die hard Kansas fans are harder to come by than die hard Rush fans. I think haters tend to hate more passionately when the fans love more passionately and the hater disagrees. me, I'm in the middle. I went through a Rush phase in highschool and I'll own that, but I totally understand why people think they're lame. |
|

♥
Sat. 3/2/13 12:18pm
G:
so that really just pushes the analysis back a stage in the process -- i.e., why don't people mention kansas or 80s genesis or whatnot more, so they can share the hate? :) |

I have a soft spot for Boston and early Chicago is pretty damn good. |

@Mike: I'm with you re passion/hating. I can see worthwhile things and failings about anything, so I just don't make a good rooter. When I go a baseball game, I'm polite (and cautious) and cheer for the hometeam. |
