Why I hate Rush.


The reasons I absolutely loathe the band RUSH are quite simple and I will attempt to explain just why..... First I will direct you to the picture above....I see Geddy Lee's sweaty prog-rawk hippie nipple. Not good....not good at all.
I have come to the conclusion that there really is a distinct group of "people" in this fair country that live, breath and defecate Rush, and then there is the rest of us. This guy I work with has a fairly good theory that Rush is strictly a guy's guy kind of band and that the ladies just can't feel that outrageous manly progressive rock vibe. Well I say Fuck that...These guys sound like a pack of screeching bitches to me.
Now I'm not saying Alex Lifeson isn't a good guitarist, or that Neil Peart isn't a kick ass drummer...Its just the songs really suck....they annoy the hell out of me. Here's an example of the lyrics to their most popular song, "Tom Sawyer" :

"What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spit"


Good god ....I can hear Geddy and his cat howl "!Catch the spirit, catch the spit!" eeeek....Yeah rock on.....catch that spit.
How about the song that I quite easily abhor the most...."Roll the Bones" - easily the winner of the lamest chorus of all time....come on every one, sing along! :

"Why are we here?
Because we're here
Roll the bones
Why does it happen?
Because it happens
Roll the bones"


uuuggh. Why are you here? Thats a better question. That song is like nails on a chalkboard for me.
Maybe my problem is just that in my 8 years of listening to the local "classic rock" station 8 hours a day at work and hearing the same 8 crappy Rush songs over and over I have become irritable and jaded. I know all those godforsaken songs off by heart. It's a sad state of affairs.....
