Rush Sighting on 'The Colbert Report'

The latest episode of The Colbert Report included a Rush reference during the opening story, which discussed how the Canadian middle class have surpassed the middle class of the United States in wealth.

Colbert comments "...No longer will people around the world aspire to the American dream of 2.5 kids...now it's the Canadian dream of a beaver dam, a maple syrup moat and 2.5 members of Rush; I don't know about you but I don't want to teach Geddy Lee to catch..."

As most Rush fans know, Rush are no strangers to 'The Colbert Report'. The band performed Tom Sawyer on the show back in July of 2008 and have had other references on the show as well.

Thanks to everyone who passed along the news.
