By now, many of you have heard that after over four decades of service to rock and roll, Rush have likely called it a career.

While this news will likely hit Rush fans hard, it’s difficult not to look back and simply be thankful for this iconic trio’s sheer existence.  Their influence isn’t just in music; it’s also carved a special place within the realms of pop culture, too.  With that in mind, check out these six Rush-related videos to help brighten your day.
