When I read the title I thought you meant Rush Limbaugh would be on Colbert. Now that would be interesting.

Rush is like cilantro. People usually either really love it or really hate it, there is rarely an in between. I'm a big fan of cilantro.

How that singer's nuts have lasted so long with a rubber band around them is quite an achievement.

I'll definately tune in to see CSN on there. How cool is that?!

While I consider myself a Rush fan, they haven't been on top in years.

Were they ever on top? I think of them as a band that was "halfway decent" a long time ago.

Nightfyre · 07-16-2008, 08:21 PM

dammit, and here I was hoping it was rush limbaugh. That would be comedy GOLD. A well-thought gentleman like colbert versus the glib and dastardly limbaugh.

That happens as people age. They tune their guitar and bass down a step now so he doesn't have to sing as high as he used to. And tonight he still wasn't hitting the high notes.

Yeah, I remember going to see Boston about 10 years ago and they brought in a new singer just to take the high notes.
