Gentlemen, Start Your Tivos

I know it's a bit late to give notice, but tonight the band Rush is performing on the Colbert Report. It will be their first time on American television in over 30 years. Perhaps you're like I was 5 years ago, and don't really care for the band. I think it was pretty much Geddy Lee's voice that kept me away from them, literally for decades. A few years ago, out of nowhere, I watched the video for Tom Sawyer (which they're supposed to play tonight.) I saw the insane amount of talent they had. I think for me it started with watching Neil Peart, the drummer. Pretty soon, and several youtube viewings later, I was a fan. The amount/quality of sound they produce is ridiculously good. The fact that it's made by only three of them is almost miraculous.

Anywho, they'll be on Colbert's show tonight. Although I typically want to hit Stephen in the head with a croquet mallet, I will be recordifacating the show tonight, as history is being made.
