Canadian rockers Rush have a lot to celebrate this year: 45 years of playing music together, a current tour that's selling out arenas all over North America and of course, their recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But it hasn't always been easy, as guitarist Alex Lifeson admits in a new interview.
At 9:00PM Eastern tonight (May 18), HBO will air highlights from the 2013 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. However, if you don't have HBO, or if you don't want to wait until tonight to relive that evening, we have everything you need here.
“Glad you could make it tonight, we have six to eight million songs or so to play for you,” Rush bassist, vocalist and all-around prankster Geddy Lee jokingly said, addressing a sold out Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

As if finally being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame weren't enough, the members of Rush are receiving another high honor. The Canadian progressive rock trio have been chosen as one of a series of rock acts featured in the Canadian Recording Artists stamp series, issued by Canada Post.
