(It's my belief, that if you're REALLY good, you don't have to be cocky)

Rush's cocky routine is mostly an act. People who claim to reject Rush over his cockiness either don't understand him or they have other disagreements which affect their perception of him. If I disagreed with a third of what Rush said, I probably wouldn't like him much either.

The cockiness is extemely thin. Anyone who listens to him will see the graciousness that makes the man.
