If you get a chance to see Rush this summer while they're on their Time Machine tour, definitely do it. Ursus and I went last night and it was amazing. 3 hours, no opening band, and they still kick ass. Neil Peart is a drum GOD and OMG.

Hey I saw them in concert last night, too.
I watched I Love You, Man.
There was a video after the concert of the two I Love You Man guys "backstage" with all access passes. It was hysterical.
I Love You, Man is surprisingly funny. I think Geddy Lee might be the least attractive man to ever roam the earth. My husband was a huge Rush fan when I met him. Surprisingly, I dated him anyway, even though I don't think I could possibly count how many times I heard "You just don't understand -- there are only THREE of them!"
I Love You, Man was ok. I like Jason whatshisname. I do not like Rush.

I thought that too, until I saw photos of Ronnie Dio. *shudder*
Geddy Lee and I have the same hairstyle. Mine might be more curly, but still... I'm THISCLOSE to famous now, right?
I've always appreciated Rush's talent, songwriting and skill on stage, plus their ability to entertain throngs of people for decades. And yet, I still don't like their music. I like one of their songs and it's the one that all the 'REAL Rush fans hate', Tom Sawyer.
But it's okay, the only Bowie album I like is the one he hates too; Modern Love.
