Rush to appear on The Colbert Report

July 16, 2008 3:49 a.m. by Dave Park

Rush has not performed on U.S. television in over 30 years, but The Colbert Report will change that on Wednesday night at 11:30 PM/EST.

The Canadian group is scheduled to perform "Tom Sawyer."

Also of note, Nas is scheduled to perform on July 23.

Goddamn it, I thought you meant Rush Limbaugh.

The Yahoo article made sure to clear that up. I should have too.

I mean, the members of Rush are objectivists. Do you think they'll talk about the free market and Ayn Rand.
