Rush Return to American TV with Colbert Appearance

Rush made their first American television performance in 33 years last night as they sat down for a Rosetta Stone Spanish QA and performed their hit "Tom Sawyer" on The Colbert Report. Why they chose to come back to U.S. TV on the Canadian-bashing Colbert show is beyond us, but it made for entertaining television.

Not to sound arrogant, but how was They Say nominated over Heard Em Say, and how was that song nominated over Gold Digger? And why wasnt Gold Digger nominated for Best Rap Song? Thats a gimme Grammy." If hes afraid that his statements will hurt his chances of dragging home a wagon filled with miniature gold-plated phonographs, hes not letting on. "Kanye is always opinionated and outspoken, and now that its Grammy time he turns into a house nigga?" he asks, referring to himself in the third person. "Come on. Thats not even realistic."To read the full article, you must be a subscriber to All Access. Already a subscriber? Continue on to The Archives.
