RUSH Documentary Director Says Hall Of Fame Snub "Unfortunate"

Simon Vozick-Levinson from EW.com is reporting:
RUSH was conspicuously absent from the list of 2011 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame nominees released this morning. For fans of the Canadian prog-rockers, it’s deja vu all over again. While Rush has been eligible for the Hall since way back in 1999, somehow they’ve never made the cut.
“It’s unfortunate,” says Scot McFadyen, who co-directed the recent film Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage. “We were hoping a lot more people in the [nominating] room had seen our documentary, and maybe that would have given them a different perspective on the band. But there are just some people that are holding out.”As disappointing as Rush’s latest snub was, McFadyen wasn’t necessarily surprised. “They’ve never been a critics’ band. The industry people that are involved with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Rush has never been cool enough for them.”
