Here's a clip from the new film, I Love you Man, a comedy that I'm interested in seeing due to it's premise and it's concert/cameo from the band rush as well as its many references to the band. Soon after is the release of Adventureland, which has Rush in the soundtrack as well. Last year saw them perform live on TV for the first time in decades. Their tunes have experienced a resurgence of sorts with younger kids thanks to Rock Band and Guitar Hero. Over the last ten years, songs of theirs have been scattered on film soundtracks, although they don't write specific songs for films. Also a computer game called Darkstar was supposed to feature a Rush-centric or Rush only soundtrack (I'm not sure when that game will be released).
Well I'm just posting this because I find it interesting that despiute the fact that the critics never really thought much of this band over the years, they have endured, and they managed to attract new audiences in a new generation. What I find most remarkaeable is that, love them or hate them, they got to where they are entirely on their own terms.
