N2  - Rush is often referred to as a libertarian rock band, but really what the band is channeling is an Aristotelian individualism, a philosophy that strongly resonates with today''s 40-somethings. This helps explain the band''s resurgence in popularity, culminating in its 2013 induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
