I’m talking about the number-one item on my cosmic to-do list. “I’m talking about my future, my path, my destiny, my thing, my scene, my bag. “I have found my calling,” a breathless Lane tells Rory. In a 2002 episode of Gilmore Girls, Rory’s friend Lane comes across a beautiful red drum set and decides music is her destiny. Unabridged biographies on each band member, along with copies of their side projects and solo work. Every radio and television interview the band had ever done. Every frame of Rush concert footage in existence. I had high-res scans of all their liner notes and album artwork. He often referred to Rush’s three members - Neil Peart, Alex Lifeson, and Geddy Lee - as ‘the Holy Trinity’ or ‘the Gods of the North.’ In my grail diary, I had every single Rush song, album, bootleg, and music video ever made. He’d once revealed in an interview that he’d coded every single one of his videogames (including the OASIS) while listening exclusively to Rush albums. Rush had been Halliday’s favorite band, from his teens onward. In one passage, the book’s narrator, Wade Watts, elaborates on the late Halliday’s Rush fixation: The 2011 sci-fi novel Ready Player One by Ernest Cline takes place largely inside a virtual reality game designed by one James Halliday, an eccentric computer genius who, naturally, loved Rush. He even remembers what Tim Horton restaurant he was in, and what kind of donut he was eating, when he got the news: “Halifax, Nova Scotia. The HIMYM character Robin used to be a Canadian teen idol known as Robin Sparkles, and Geddy waxes nostalgic about her sudden transformation into a grunge singer. (He’s practically the band’s fourth member.) In a 2013 episode of his sitcom How I Met Your Mother, Rush bassist and singer Geddy Lee is among the Canadian celebrities who turns up in a Behind the Music-style show called Underneath the Tunes. During the closing credits, Segel and Rudd join the wedding band onstage for a ripping performance of “Limelight.”Īmazingly, Jason Segel has yet another connection to Rush.
In one of the film’s funniest scenes, Segel and Rudd nerd-out at a Rush concert while Rudd’s fiancée, played by Rashida Jones, wonders what in the heck she’s gotten herself into. Segel is a real-life Rush head, as are co-star Paul Rudd and director John Hamburg, who wrote the band into the script. Jason Segel also appears in I Love You, Man, a 2009 comedy about two men who bond over their love of Rush.
