Rush as a great drummer, should be a great show.

**MetalRose77** · July 15th, 2008, 10:03 PM

Hell yeah. Should be sweet

Did anyone else watch? That was some funny shiate! I had never watched the Colbert Report before. Almost the entire show had something to do with Rush.

**homersimps** · July 17th, 2008, 09:09 AM

Damn it, I thought that it was tonight.

Just watched it on the Divver.

Great half-hour laden with Rush references. A good interview with the band, and then they played Tom Sawyer. Awesome stuff!

One of the questions that Colbert asked them was:

"You have yet to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Is there any chance that the title of your next album will be: "That's BULL****?" "

I laughed my ass off at that one...

I love those old men.

I just watched it. That bit was funny as hell! Glad to see Rush still has a sense of humor after all this time. But what do you expect from the Great White North, eh?

It's repeated a few times each day as a matter of fact it will repeat again at 830PM tonite.

It was really funny and I'm not really a fan of Rush.

I hope todays show starts with the band still playing the song.

holy cow that was great! I'm a rushian!

**BeerMan** · July 17th, 2008, 10:37 PM

didn't the rerun at 8:30pm get bumped by the Daily Show? apparently there was some technical difficulties. the Colbert Show came on mid-way, therefore half of the Rush reference were missing?.

This episode (the 7/16/08 episode) is available on iTunes for download. $1.99.

Worth getting for keeps, IMO.

**A-FROGIRL** · July 19th, 2008, 08:31 AM

It was absolutely hilarious. The "interruptions" throughout the show from Jimmy the Producer were classic.

**FlyBoeingJets** · July 19th, 2008, 08:47 AM

The two best questions from Colbert were:

"You're known for some sort-of long songs. Have you ever written a song so epic that by the end of the song you are actually being influenced by yourself at the beginning of the song because it happened so much earlier in your career??"

and

"Neil...is there any chance that you have a drum dependency?"

Here is the segment with Rush

It's great...
