How does Rush look bad?  I don't see the harm in them going on another tour if they want to.  They're drawing a lot of fans; I'd go see them but the ticket prices are a bit high (which does seem a little odd).

I like the songs and their skill with their instruments.  Alex is a great guitarist, Geddy is a great bassist & keyboardist, and Neil Peart was one of the best drummers in music.  Their music had a particular sound (and it changed a bit as they changed their style a bit through the years).  AndI think the lyrics in many of their songs are good too.

I think they're good people too.  In interviews & such, I have the sense that they're just good people, and they don't take themselves too seriously.
