I played golf with that guy about 20 years ago in Minnesota. He is, or was at least, a big golf fan and he was looking for a place to play when they came to St Paul. My club was about 5 miles down the road and he called to see if he could play. He needed to play with a member so my pro called me to see if I'd play with him. Ahhhh, yes. lol
We played the next day and he gave me 4 tickets, center stage, 7th row and waved to us during the show. Pretty cool. He invited me to play with him in Toronto "whenever I was in town", but I never took him up on it. The dude can make some sounds with that guitar though. Good memory.
Rush has not officially retired. Drummer Neil Peart passed away in 2020, leading the band to indefinitely suspend touring and new music. However, they've announced a comeback tour, "Fifty Something," starting in 2026—their first shows since 2015. AARP article (Oct 2025).
