13th
The first concert I ever went to was Rush Signals in 1982. I had just turned 13 and my older sister bought the tickets for my birthday. I guess she had noticed me wearing out the grooves in her copy of “Exit, Stage Left” (as well as this album and “Moving Pictures”).
As we pulled up to the Capital Center in D.C. we realized she had left the tickets at home, and we completely missed the opening act, whoever it was, going back to get them. It was awesome, and not just because my sister let me drink wine with her afterwards.
Anyway, how epically cool that when I asked Michelle to write something about Rush via Twitter, a) she actually did it, and b) this is the album she knows and writes about. She’s a great writer, I follow her on Twitter and really enjoy all her stuff.

While this tumblr is about my favorite songs, sometimes I take requests from people for songs/bands they want me to write about*. This one is for @yardboy.
