I discovered Rush in 1989, and listened to him almost every day until his tragic death. I even called and talked to him once, and a friend of mine recognized my voice. I really miss him.
About the same time I did.
My car got hit, and the other driver’s insurance got me a rental. Until they figured out it was their insured’s fault, the got me a beater with and AM-only radio.
And that’s where it began.... for me.
