Sadness of the Inevitable Sort

Im feeling a little blue right now.  If this is really the end for Rush as a touring act, then there are only two more shows.  They are just about to hit the stage in Irvine, CA, and then the final show is in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Is this really the end?  I knew it would come someday, but I guess I never really believed it.  They say they aren’t breaking up.  They say there will be more music.  They say there might be performance alternatives to big cross continental tours.  I sincerely hope so.

Still… Is this the end?
