I’m as big a Rush fan as you will ever find. Meaning the 3 hours he puts in 5 days a week are what I think are almost always virtuoso performances. But I’ve heard that in his personal life Rush is maybe what I might call a “Kitsch King” in terms of his personal taste. I think people may have seen the interior of that NYC apartment which was pretty - well let’s just say his taste is not my taste.
I think in general, if we like somebody’s public persona (Rush, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, etc.) we make certain assumptions about what they are like out of the spotlight and those assumptions may or may not be true.
It’s just the way our celebrity driven world works.
I may love Rush the entertainer, the commentator, the conservative spokesperson - probably doesn’t mean I’d necessarily enjoy his tastes in music, home furnishings or whatever.
From classical to rock, I think Rush has pretty good taste in music (subjective I know, but still). Home decor..? Well that’s personal and just as subjective.
