I agree that it's sad when you have people try to spread rumors that aren't true. Both Geddy, Alex, and Neil, have been more than gracious for all of the Rush fans out there over the years. If they feel that it's time to take a break for a while, or for good, then all of us as true Rush fans should respect that. Of course, I'm selfish and wish that they would still be playing, but at the same time, they have more than earned the right to stop playing if they feel like they should. Thank you again for everything.

They were made during a live appearance in Texas when a Rush fan asked him about the future of Rush. <br /><br />It was pretty much fans being fans. In my opinion, some people made this bigger than it really was.

I had heard Eddie Trunk's original statement, and he really didn't say Alex and Geddy were getting together for a project. It was the reports in the various rock sites that said he made those claims, especially with clearly misleading headlines. It's amazing how many people will read a headline and that's the only thing they read....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16649168509123583117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295297961169603838.post-23802899040738388572017-09-01T04:02:46.290-07:002017-09-01T04:02:46.290-07:00Well stated Dr. Donna!Well stated Dr. Donna!Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05822030527885399666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295297961169603838.post-9395072573876165582017-08-31T19:19:24.925-07:002017-08-31T19:19:24.925-07:00Thank you, Donna, for the clarification and explai...Thank you, Donna, for the clarification and explaining how checking facts make the difference between wishful thinking and a well-spun story. If the members of Rush decide to do anything, it will more than likely come from themselves rather than the grapevine. Reminds me of the old game "telephone".
