Today's Morning Edition music is from the legendary progressive rock band Rush, which will play the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul Tuesday night.
It's their 40th anniversary tour.
To mark the occasion our sister station The Current played Rush music for a full hour on Saturday night.
Host Dave King, who plays drums for the Bad Plus and other local artists, is a huge Rush fan and offered his thoughts on the band and how its sound has evolved over time.
