The Rush Discush – Details, episodes & analysis

We talk about one of Geddy's lyrical endeavors based on a movie with Cinderella Man, and a smorgasbord of religions represented in Totem.

Today's challenge comes in Adam's brother Edward attempting to match the music of Rush songs he has never heard before to the correct lyrics and vice-versa. Play along and see how well you do!
