So The Spirit of Radio just came up on random, and it reminded me of a thought yesterday about wanting to blog about Rush – the band, not the pundit.
Why would I want to do such a thing? Is it because I used to have a co-worker with Tom Sawyer as one of his rings? No. Is it because my mom hated Rush when I was a kid? No. It’s Because they seem to be coming up a lot lately. It was brought up more than a few times in our watching of the Freaks and Geeks series… It was a major part of the move I Love You, Man… And it also came up more than a few times in the movie Fanboys.
Now I realize Freaks and Geeks was produced a long time ago, but it may happen to be the lynchpin between the other two. Freaks and Geeks starred Jason Segel and Seth Rogen, who each played large parts in the other two movies. Maybe a coincidence, maybe not.
Do I really care? No. I’m a Rush fan, but not an obsessed Rush fan. It just seems odd, bordering on annoying because I know they’re not as popular outside a few population segments.
