The Disgronificator and Rio Linda Mar 17, 2021 BRETT: Now, it’s no secret I’m a huge fan of what Rush did across all the years, and one of my favorite things is Rush’s sense of humor. It was absolutely top-notch, and there were certain things he would do that were just so special, including inventing terms — terms that people would find themselves scratching their heads, wondering what he was talking about. One of my favorites was “the disgronificator.” That’s right. RUSH: My first car was a Pontiac. I wanted to get a GTO, 1969, but I couldn’t afford it. I had to get a LeMans. It had the same body, a little bit different grille. Not as snazzy an interior and certainly not as big an engine. The GTO was awesome. Beach Boys sang about it. “Little GTO-oooo” Well, the Beach Boys sang all kinds of cars, car crashes, death, flames, crashes.
