This week, Chaz and Schatz crack open the cosmic portal to Cygnus X-1 and welcome none other than John Patuto, the mastermind behind the legendary Rush fan hub Cygnus-X1.net—a site that’s been keeping Rush fandom alive longer than most of us have kept a pair of concert tees without holes.
From humble beginnings in the dial-up bulletin board days (kids, ask your parents) to running a 45,000-member online community, John shares how a personal passion project turned into one of the most trusted and enduring Rush resources on the planet.
The guys dig into:
Things get real as John opens up about shutting down his Facebook group temporarily after fan backlash surrounding Rush’s return and the JUNOS Awards performance—proving that even in a fandom built on intellect and musicianship, things can get… spicy.
It’s a deep dive into what it means to live Rush—not just listen to it.
So grab your headphones, keep it civil, and remember:
Whether you’re Team Original Mix or Team Remix… don’t be the guy flipping the table in the comments section.
