1. Bush

   Bush are a British rock band formed in London in 1992 shortly after vocalist/guitarist Gavin Rossdale and guitarist Nigel Pulsford met. It was not long before they recruited bassist Dave Parsons, and later drummer Robin Goodridge, and started writing. Dave Parsons joined Bush shortly after leaving the band Transvision Vamp. Drummers such as Sacha Gervasi, Amir, and Spencer Cobrin had all filled in as Bush drummers before Robin Goodridge was made the permanent fit and thus completing the Bush line-up. The band found its immediate success with the release of their debut album Sixteen Stone in 1994, which is certified 6× multi-platinum by the RIAA. Bush went on to become one of the most commercially successful rock bands of the 1990s, selling over 10 million records in the United States. Despite their success in the United States, the band was less well known in their home country and enjoyed only marginal success there. Bush have had numerous top ten singles on the Billboard rock charts, and one No. 1 album for Razorblade Suitcase in 1996. The band separated in 2002 but the name was revived in 2010 and they began work on a new album, The Sea of Memories, which was released in September 2011.x

1. bush

   A circular shouldered piece of metal, usually of brass, let into the lignum vitæ sheaves of such blocks as have iron pins, thereby preventing the sheave from wearing, without adding much to its weight.

Brass bushes are also extensively applied in the marine steam-engine work. Also, in artillery, the plug (generally of copper, on account of the superior resistance of that metal to the flame of exploded gunpowder), having a diameter of about an inch, and a length equal to the intended length of the vent, screwed into the metal of the gun at the place of the vent, which is then drilled in it.

Examples of BUSH in a Sentence

1. Donald Trump:

   I do think that should be a local situation, though. I'll give you an example, Jeb Bush loves Common Core, i want to see local people teaching your kids.

2. Sarah Longwell:

   In 2016, he got nominated, everybody sort of panicked and we all tried to beat him and obviously we failed, one of the things we did at the time was a bunch of elites from Reagan Democrats and Jeb Bush era signed letters, talking about why they didn't like Donald Trump, but so much of the support for Donald Trump was an anti-elitism play. So our focus in 2020 is really thinking about real people and real voices and how they're thinking about Donald Trump after seeing Donald Trump be President for the last four years.

3. Her Democratic primary opponent:

4. Peter Bergen:

   George W. Bush called 9/11 an act of war and as a result conducted an actual war or two, so given France's quite aggressive campaign in Mali against al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and given the fact that France was one of the leaders of the coalition to overthrow (the late Moammar) Gadhafi in Libya, it seems quite likely that France will respond aggressively.

5. Donald Trump:

   She will be long remembered for her strong devotion to country and family, both of which she served unfailingly well. The President Donald Trump and First Lady's thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Mrs. Barbara Bush.
