Bob Cesca is a writer, director and producer (he is the founder of Camp Chaos) who's been a featured blogger at the Huffington Post since August, 2005. For the past 3 years at Thanksgiving he's put together a Thanking The Shit Out Of Stuff post. In this year's installment Rush's Snakes & Arrows made the cut:

The music industry is on life support. But Rush continues to record original, thought-provoking music without the help of radio, Rolling Stone magazine or the mainstream music press (say nothing of the exclusionary R&R Hall of Fame). Their new album, "Snakes & Arrows," guided by Foo Fighters producer Nick Raskulinecz, is energetic, heavy, poignant and inspired. I've listened to the lead track, "Far Cry," maybe a thousand times this year and I'm still not sick of it.

Well said!
