That was my feeling as well when I heard Rush was taking last Wednesday off. There was something in the way he worded his excuse for taking the day off... of course I can't recall exactly what he said now.
A little Rush baby... can you imagine?? ;-)
And he was suddenly mentioning the possibility of a child in some monologue he did a while back. Not specifically, but he said something like ‘when and if that happens’. That’s the most positive I’ve heard Rush on a baby in ages. I think it’d be great.
