I’m not sure how I came across this song, but I’ve been listening to it today. It’s certainly not for everyone, but it’s pretty cool what a guy with a bass, cello, and bongos can do. PG-13 lyrics, FYI

Sorry about the ad at the beginning… you can skip it after 3 seconds. Enjoy!

I’ve heard some people call them the best band of their genre.  I agree if the genre in question is “crap”.

Can someone please explain the appeal?  The lead singer sounds like a Liza Minnelli record played at the wrong speed.  Really.  Why oh why do people find this stuff any good?

I’m not saying my taste is wonderful, but rarely have I been so totally opposed to the idea of listening to something than I am of the crap that is Rush.  I just don’t get it.  At all.  I tend to raise an eyebrow at people when I hear them say they like it… it’s the same eyebrow I raise when I hear someone say they like rap or country music… it’s the “what’s wrong with you?” eyebrow.

It gets quite the workout.

I mean really… why?
