After years of painstaking investigation, countless hours of listening, and an unwavering dedication to the truth — Erik Burton has produced the definitive answer to one of rock music's most hotly debated questions.

"No band surpasses Rush. The empty pages speak volumes."

Too funny!

Bought this for my husband's birthday and he is a huge RUSH fan… he was throughly amused! It's a little expensive for a blank notebook, but I think he has every item that was ever made for Rush fans, so this was unique and clever.
