Good news for Rush fans

[GMichael]

Nah, lots of 3 year olds were going to Van Halen and Jethro Tull shows back then.
Old is when you turn in your Rush CD's for Celine Dion.

What about all my 8-tracks and 45's?

I don't know. But I know there are/were Boston, Rush, Ledzep, ELP, Yes, PF, Black Sab, Ted Nugent, etc. I don't know about VH. They were a new band. Maybe after 8-track?
