Congtrats to RUSH!!

There's nothing I'd love more than them declining to be in the HoF.

I was very saddened when they were on the cover of Rolling Stone last year.

Personally, I'd love to see them tell Jan Wenner to STUFF IT on stage at the HOF. Get nominated, get elected, show up to the ceremony and say "No thanks, we don't need YOUR approval - we have 23 Gold records and 14 Platinum records, and have the approval of our fans - y'know the people that really count. Your approval means nothing to us." And just walk off, in front of EVERYONE.

Wenner is a self-appointed arbiter of what is "cool", and the fact that Rush are as popular and well-off as they are must drive him absolutely insane. Good, he's a jerkoff.

I would love that as well. Unfortunately, Geddy, Alex and Neil are way too classy to do that.

Agreed.

They'd show up, be gracious, then go home and put the award in one of their attics and laugh about what a bunch of bozos those clowns that decide who deserves to be in the "Rock 'n Roll Hall Of Fame" are.

Oh, and Neil would stay home, or be riding his motorcycle in some far off place.
