I was slapping together the lifestyles section for today's paper ... so needless to say, I felt compelled to throw in the wire story about Rush playing "Tom Sawyer" on tonight's episode of The Colbert Report.

The first thought that went through my head when I read the wire story was "Rush? On the TV? When was the last time that happened?" And sure enough, I had my answer by the end of the second paragraph -- they haven't appeared on U.S. television since 1975. I would have been three years old at the time.
Here's their last U.S. television appearance ... doing two songs from their debut album and another from Fly By Night on that most awesome of all '70s shows, Don Kirshner's Rock Concert.
