fanfan,
this is a real dumb question; but is your dog named after the Rush and if so, was that the dog he talked about on the radio being named for him?
Yes, he is named after the Great One.
When did he mention it? We listen to the podcasts every day, and don’t remember him saying anything about it.
I did send him an email about Rush, and another time sent him a link to a picture I posted of Rush here on FR.
