Theoretically, “Beloved 70s hard rock band replaces iconic drummer with a woman” could be a minefield of sexiest garbage but this fan base would never. Anika Nilles sounds incredible and even the most obsessive Rush dork is grateful & amazed by her. Bringing these songs back from the dead.
Ahem, sexist garbage. Although Rush fans surely have the sexiest garbage.
Lovely afternoon in Baltimore with a hometown hero.
