In this JKL Media Podcast one-off special, the hosts discuss Canadian progressive rock band Rush, starting with divided reactions to Geddy Lee's voice, then sharing favorite tracks like "Tom Sawyer," "Spirit of Radio," and "Subdivisions." They use the 2010 Rush documentary as a springboard to explore the band's power-trio lineup (Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Neil Peart), technical musicianship, and reputation as a "musician's band," plus the many celebrity artists featured praising Rush. Karen and Jesse both enjoyed the documentary for its backstory, humor (especially from Alex), and the band's unusually low drama and long friendships, while also noting how Rush's music can be an acquired taste. The conversation touches on Neil Peart's personal tragedies, the need for a documentary "chapter two," and the band's later-era touring with a new drummer.
