Rush the band 'recycled' into FIRST?

[hrench]

So I'm a big fan of Rush the rock band and I think it's time we 'recycle' them into FIRST robotics.

I've already tried writing their website, but I want to encourage any of you that like Rush to do the same. And maybe someone in FIRST has the inside on them? Any of you Canadians know them? Bikers ride with Neil?

Last year I actually heard Rush songs at every FIRST event I went to.

And we're pretty used to seeing big-name performers at Championships and though I've enjoyed the ones we've seen, RUSH would be really great this year.

1. "we"?

Besides Will-I-Am, what other "big-name performers" have come to Champs in the last few years?

FIRST used to play a lot of Queen at events. Rush is like the Queen of Canada. Canadian conspiracy confirmed.

Next up, FIRST is going to partner with Tim Hortons for district venues...

2. Why Rush?

1. It doesn't have to be you. There are Rush fans all over and I'm pretty sure there are some in FIRST besides me.

2. The game is called 'Recycle Rush'. If it was called "Recycle Rolling Stones" or "Recycle Kanye", they could get involved too.

3. What other 'big name' performers, I'll include the Black Eyed Peas and I guess the others might be 'small name', but we've seen Willow Smith and some other's that I can't recall right now.

And 2112 was played during Einstein last year. I would totally dig some appearance by Rush at an FRC event.

A fellow Rush fan supports this idea. Also, now I'm disappointed that I wasn't at Worlds to hear 2012. The only Rush song I've heard at competitions is Tom Sawyer.

If the game was called Recycle Kanye I think I would have to take the year off.

Kareem-Abdul Jabar
Morgan Freeman

Willow Smith

Though the first two did not 'perform' like Will-I-Am and Willow Smith did.

Last year at Crossroads, my team won the final nail-biting match to YYZ. It was amazing.
