UPDATE - 4/8@5:43PM: I added a scan courtesy templejanitor which you can check out here.

Back in November we learned that Rush was one of the 5 nominees for the Playboy Music Poll's Hall of Fame for 2008. They were up against Neil Diamond, N.W.A, Billy Idol and Smashing Pumpkins. Playboy just recently announced the results of the poll in their March 2009 issue and Rush was the winner! The band is pictured along with a little write-up in the magazine.

Given how many write-in votes Rush got from readers for best live act of the year, it's clear the innovative Torono band's star has never burned brighter than right now." ... "Though Rush's dozens of gold and platinum albums and performances before as many as 60,000 fans apparently don't warrant its inclusion in Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, we're pround to welcome the band, on behalf of our millions of readers, to ours."

Thanks to John at Cygnus-X1.net for the news.
