This is why I'll always have infinite respect for Rush

The last tour was a Rush show times 100. But that seems to be the band’s policy: We’ll do what we want — make some records with keyboards, use short films in our shows, play the brand-new and lesser-known songs when most acts offer nothing but best-of sets — and hope people stick around.

They're one of the few classic bands that can pull it off because their popularity wasn't built on hit singles but on complete albums and just good overall music.

As different as their music is, it's why I love Rush and Bruce Springsteen...they play to the diehards without bothering to appease casual fans, and it earned them both a dedicated, lifetime audience where other bands play small venues or just gave up.

The difference between Rush and Bruce is that one needs his band and one IS the band.
