More from Something for Nothing: A RUSH Fancast
We've seem Rush's Fifty Something Tour 4 times--twice in New York and once each in Philadelphia and Toronto--and we have opinions! It's no surprise that, this being a Rush podcast, our reviews are positive, but how positive? That's for us to know and you to find out by listening!

Payton Rose Velligan is in "Weird Al" Yankovic's band, but more germane to us is that she's a huge Rush fan. Her video singing all of Hemispheres in a bathroom in Missouri has tens of thousands of views and her appearance on Tiny Desk Concerts with Weird Al made her an instant icon. Payton joins us to talk about discovering Rush, finally seeing the band live, and her upcoming shows with her tribute band The Camera Eye. And of course we talk about how great Weird Al is!
