If you are a Rush fan, it’s very likely you have heard the name Donna Halper. Donna is credited with discovering Rush while working at WMMS-FM in my hometown of Cleveland back in 1974. She was also pivotal in getting them signed to a record contract, and they dedicated their first two albums to her. Donna along with Rush fans extraordinaire Keith and Kevin Purdy are spearheading this project and have already received the blessing of the band and their management. They could also use some help from us - the fans. Since the nominations are reviewed in June each year, they are soliciting testimonials from Rush fans across the world about how the band and their music has played a positive and meaningful role in their lives. There is no format per se - emails, letters, etc. are fine. They simply need to be well-written and come from the heart. If possible, please send your testimonials to kdpurdy@hotmail.com by Friday, May 23rd so they can be packaged up and sent to the Hollywood Walk of Fame committee.

They’ve used their fame to help out countless charitable organizations over the years, raising millions of dollars for those in need. So whenever I hear of a Rush-related charity or charity event I always try and give it some exposure on Rush is a Band. Rush fan and RIAB reader ReGorLaTroy was inspired by Rush’s recent donation to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort in New Orleans to put forth the following challenge to Rush fans.

Here’s a little preview article for the LA shows from The Press-Enterprise which includes a few snippets from an Alex Lifeson interview.

Yesterday was the first anniversary of the release of Rush’s 19th (18th if you don’t count Feedback) studio album - Snakes & Arrows. Last year right around this time I asked everybody what their favorite song off the album was. The winner was The Main Monkey Business with Armor and Sword a close second. I thought it would be interesting to ask this same question now that we’ve had a year to let the songs sink in. So what’s your favorite song off of Snakes & Arrows? Take the poll and let us know.
