Episode 1. Vapor Trail

Hello world! It's the pilot episode of Rush Rash with Chaz N Schatz - a weekly listen through the entire 167 song catalog of Rush's studio tracks, one cut at a time. Your cohosts - Chaz Charles & Alan "Schatz" Schatzberg - two guys who love Rush and play music - will spin-the-wheel, or "Roll The Bones" with the Rush Rash Wheel - 167 Tracks - shuffled and randomized for a surprise listen each week. We'll then vote on each song - was it "Living In The Limelight" or do we "Wish Them Well"? Listeners are invited to participate in X (formerly known as Twitter) Poll each week, and comment along with the hosts. Weekly surprise(d) guests and an occasional panel show in the style and format known to so many lovers of podcasts on the Deep Dive Podcast Network.

Our first episode - the wheel delivers Vapor Trail, from the 2002 album Vapor Trails - the "comeback" record for Neil Peart after facing dual tragedies involving his 18 year old daughter and an automobile accident, and his wife a year later due to cancer. Knowing how The Professor left us makes all this context amplify his words in even more profound ways. But fu<k sake...could we start off on a more somber note? Have no fear, we manage to squeeze a few laughs out of the session, as Neil would no doubt want us to. And we do it respectfully...as if, and why I oughtta...

Listen...we're fans, maybe even fanboys, but we're not experts, so bring your love of Rush and check your Rush-nerd ego at the door! We want to dialogue with listeners through X and Facebook, so please follow us here on X at @RushRashPodcast and on Facebook at Facebook.com/RushRashPodcast. And fair fu<kin warning, we're from New Jersey too, so if you got something to say about what we got to say...well...we'd like to scratch your itch - on Rush Rash!!

Rush news, general nonsensical disorderly conduct, lack of regard for correctness or truth, and reckless endangerment of your whole-brain. This is the only podcast that is dedicated to increasing opioid release in your anterior insula, your anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and your posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), in addition to the basal ganglia and the thalamus...and all that that implies. 

Some thick North Jersey accents and they give you some royalty-free sound effects and movie clips too - what more do you need to indulge your urge to scratch?! 

Join us - you know where to scratch - blah, blah...RushRash.
