Rush getting star on Walk of Fame

Postby Angiekay » Fri Jun 20, 2008 11:57 pm



Baby steps right? Although to be lumped in with the Village People...ugh. :roll:


Legendary Canadian power trio Rush are among the 25 artists who will receive stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2009. According to the Associated Press, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce's Walk of Fame Committee revealed the list Thursday (June 19th). Rush was inducted into the Canadian music industry's Hall of Fame in 2003, although the group was snubbed for induction into the U.S.-based Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008, the first year they were eligible.

Others slated to be honored on the Walk of Fame next year include Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr., actors Ben Kingsley, Cameron Diaz and Hugh Jackman, disco-era group the Village People, Disney character Tinkerbell, director Tim Burton, Survivor and Rock Star creator Mark Burnett and This is Spinal Tap star and co-creator Harry Shearer.

Well deserved. Some of the rest of that crowd, though, yikes. Cameron Diaz? Really?

And for what it's worth, Rush was eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999, not 2008

From memory, don't the inductees have to pay to get a star? Seems like I remember that when Journey got their star...

Just another reason why the RNRHOF is a joke. Look at some of the acts that have gotten in. Madonna? WTF?

It's about time. Geddy Lee was so good in The Wizard of Oz.

No, she makes money whenever her name is used in the media. She made 200 large off of Mr. Roper alone.

I'm relieved. Before I came in this thread I thought you meant Rush Limbaugh!
