The personal relationship between Jefferson and Adams had soured under the weight of political rivalry—exacerbated by the brutal campaign of 1800. For years after the election, the two men remained estranged. The physician and mutual friend Benjamin Rush played a pivotal role in bringing the two former friends back together. Encouraged by Rush, Jefferson and Adams began corresponding in 1812, initiating a remarkable exchange of letters that spanned 14 years and addressed topics ranging from politics and philosophy to their reflections on aging and legacy. Through this correspondence, Jefferson and Adams confronted their differences—both political and personal—with candor and a...

So, guys, anything new? Here at Guitar World, we believe in hitting artists with the hard questions first. “Not much at all,” Geddy Lee deadpans. The bassist is speaking via Zoom from his home studio, a wall of basses behind him. “I’ve just been playing a lot of cards with Al, trying to win some money off him.” “He always does,” says Alex Lifeson, joining in on Zoom from his own home music sanctuary. “He’s vicious at Go Fish.” While we’re on the subject of games, suffice to say that nobody – including, for the longest time, Lee and Lifeson...

There can only be one rock band that is unquestionably and certifiably the cool kids’ choice in 2026, and whatever indie cred the rest of you kids may carry, this town ain’t big enough for both you and Rush. The reconstituted version of the recently dormant group just wrapped up a sold-out, tour-opening four-night stand at the Kia Forum that was a triumphantly climactic week in Rush’s unexpected reentry as a cultural and musical force in the 2020s. Two heroes walked into the Forum — Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson — and three walked out, as new drummer Anika Nilles...

Listening to Matt Walsh on YT. He has the flavor of Rush I was listening to a few Matt Walsh shows for the first time and found that he has had the brashness and humor that reminds me of the earlier Rush shows. Does anyone else here listen to him?

Full video clip at the link: Rojas @mcucolo57 DID YOU KNOW COMEY WAS A COMMIE? RUSH DID Rush Limbaugh: "I had never heard this about Comey. Now we find out that, under Obama, the ClA director and the FBI director both had histories of, not just flirtation, but serious immersion into communism. And like the KGB always said, 'No one ever leaves the KGB.' Nobody ever leaves this way of thinking." May 2, 2026

Washington establishment’s totally opposed to Trump. They don’t want anything that Trump campaigned on to happen. They don’t want an outsider coming in and succeeding and thereby demonstrating how it can be done. Nobody on the outside is supposed to be able to come in and reform Washington and improve it. The establishment has set it up so they have an exclusive, exclusionary club that very few people are capable or qualified to be part of, and that’s that. So the last thing they can afford is for somebody like Trump, who’s not a politician by trade, to come in...

A video of Alex Lifeson, the guitarist of the band, “RUSH,” arguing with his parents about quitting high school to go into music. Alex’s dad wants him to follow him into the world of plumbing. If you are a fan like me, it’s an amazing video.

Every once in a while, one has to remember the unfortunate fact that Canadians exist. He's literally doing air guitar to let the deaf folks know ... the guitarist is playing guitar. Who is this for, honestly? The woke HR ladies who run the CBC? Why isn't this in both French and American sign language? I'm sure they'll get letters for that! Take a bow, Canada

Rush: I’m never gonna run away from the United States of America. I may die, but I’m not gonna run away from the United States of America. I’m not gonna give up. I am not gonna tell you to give up. I’m not gonna tell you to walk away. I’m not gonna tell you it’s time to panic. You can keep asking if you want, but I’m always gonna tell you no.

The only surviving photo of my grandfather – Gershon Eliezer Rubinstein – whom I am named after – In the middle of a winter’s night in 1940 he was dragged from his home in Wierzbnik Poland, at gunpoint, thrown into jail, then sent to his death at Treblinka Concentration Camp. His crime ? Being a Jew.

Once again, I am bringing Brad & Lex back to the front.. I believe this is their first time ever hearing Rush. The confusion on Brad's face, and the excitement on bubbly Lex's face tell you all you need to know about this couple.. (I am so envious of Brad for finding this treasure).

A seven year old video clip from the Limbaugh Show where Rush relates his meeting Charlie Kirk for the first time. Hat tip to Vince Coglianese for playing this clip before he closed out his show today.

A man has been arrested in connection with dozens of city-owned trees in Los Angeles that were cut down with a chainsaw over the Easter Holiday weekend. While law enforcement officials had no leads on April 20, some Angelenos were busy posting photos to Reddit and Instagram of all the felled trees downtown. In photos, trees were seen in pieces at locations including 1st Street and Wilshire Boulevard, Olympic Boulevard and Hope Street, Olympic Boulevard and Figueroa Street, Broadway and Cesar Chavez Avenue, Grand Avenue in front of the Wells Fargo Center and Grand Avenue and 5th Street.

L.A.'s fragile urban canopy was dealt a vicious blow this weekend when a chainsaw-wielding vandal cut down a number of shade trees along South Grand Avenue and other areas of downtown, according to media posts and photos uploaded to Reddit and Instagram. The Los Angeles Police Department told The Times it had no information about the tree destruction, and an email and phone call to the city's Urban Forestry Division went unanswered Sunday.

Will be arriving in Cape Girardeau this Saturday (3/8). Are there any Rush museums or tours? I see a self guided driving tour. Any Cape Girardeau freeper natives out there? Thanks!
