   I honestly didn't like their openings acts.  I didn't see Primus.  They might   
   have been fun, even if they aren't songwriters; Les Claypool just sort of   
   whines & chants over hippy-type grooves. They're like a bass-heavy version of   
   the Grateful Dead.  But    
   they'd have been more entertaining than the generic arena rock I usually had   
   the misfortune to sit through before Rush came on.   
      
   Nowadays, to judge from the caliber of posts I often see in AMR, Rush wouldn't   
   have an opening act.  They'd just show footage of Trump speeches.   
      
   The guys in Rush made it very clear they weren't fans of George "Dubya" Bush.    
   Yet today people talk as if Rush preached an alt-right, anti-female,   
   anti-female, and anti-Science message.
