Rush Awarded "Order Of Canada"

Last year at this time, all three members of Rush were awarded the highest civilian award from the Canadian government, making them "Officers of the Order of Canada". Rush was the first rock band to receive the award, which was created in 1967 for "significant achievement in important fields of human endeavor".  After the ceremony, Geddy told reporters "I'm just going to wear it all the time and see if it gets me better tables at restaurants" while Alex joked "I think I'll wear it to bed, maybe I'll get more respect that way." - Jam Music, February 27, 1997
