Rush Reference on Family Guy - Video and Screen Caps Now Online
Tonight's Episode of Fox's animated series Family Guy included a significant Rush reference.

In the anthology-based episode titled High School English (Season 15 / Episode 7), a parody of the classic American novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn took place where the character of Tom Sawyer, portrayed by Chris Griffin, proclaims that the band Rush wrote a song after him. Afterwards he states that there is a Rush concert in town. The scene promptly changes to a animated Rush concert where the band is performing Tom Sawyer.

This isn't the first Rush reference to appear in an episode of Family Guy. One appeared back in 2006 which had Chester Cheetah sitting in a room with a Rush Starman Logo poster on the wall. While listening to Tom Sawyer, Chester opens up a bag of Cheetos, chops them up with a razor blade, snorts them and screams "Ah God there is no f(bleeped)ing drummer better than Neil Peart."

A second less obvious reference occurred in 2007 where a highway signed indicated the mileage to Rhode Island was 2112. (Photo).

Screen caps (click to enlarge) and a video clip from tonight's episode are available below.
