Why was there not a behind the music episode for Rush. Because Rush was about the music not the bullshit that comes with money and fame. They even gave Neil some space while he was dealing with tragedy in his life. Think about it, what other great rock band can say that. None of them.

Trivia on Neil appearing in the ATHF movie - the producers of the show had approached Rush's management more than once, and had always been rebuffed.

RUSH 4 LIFE!!!!!! R.I.P. The Maestro. The Legend. Neil Peart!!!!

[@MysticRhythms87]

I just wish these people learned that Neil's last name is pronounced "peert", not "pert". As a comment I saw ages ago said, "Neil is not a brand of shampoo."

Hilarious. Godspeed Neil.

This an obscure one, but in King of The Hill, Bobby plays Dungeons and Dragons with some nerds from school with "The Trees" playing in the background. Also, Regular Show is littered with RUSH references. Especially the episode where Benson plays a drum solo, ala Neil, on a massive kit. Totally epic...✌

[@gdawgs101]

I Love You Man is literally just about Rush lol

[@psychedeliccarrie5921]

On The Goldbergs, there's a dude who wears a Rush shirt ALL the time.

[@nelsonduenas6214]

There are also references in South Park and "Billions"
