Fuckin eh, now there's a true hardcore Rush fan who knows that tidbit of trivia!

Its funny, like Neil Young and Gordon Lightfoot, Lee and other Canadian rock royalty are given a ton of space here, and they reciprocate by being extremely modest and living amongst us mere mortals to a very high degree.... I can honestly say there is something about that that Canadians are very proud of ... American celebs and athletes are accorded the same respect in public and many feel that is why they spend so much time in T.O.

Funny Rush story: My friend's dad beat up Geddy Lee in high school for being a jack-ass. An unrelated friend (who's the nicest guy in the world) beat up Geddy Lee's son, also for being a jack-ass.

I don't surround myself with violent people. Apparently they just deserve a world of hurt.

I want to kick your friend's dad's ass and also your unrelated friend's ass and I'm bigger than Geddy. Bring 'em on!

Hey JL, any guy who picks on a rake like Geddy must have some masculinity issues of his own IMO see what your dad thinks of that my brother was his buddy a bit of shell??

If memory serves me, I think it was Ged's grandmother who survived the camps, and then immigrated over to Canada.

That being said, I swear to gosh, I just happened across this vid of Limelight today - I've never seen it before.

(for best results, turn up at full volume)

lol... jlippens was my homey in T.O. who posted the story about his dad's friend who pummelled Geddy Lee

Of course I was joking - mainly poking fun at JLippens who is a buddy on here that's all ...

And for a kid from the suburbs of Toronto myself I must say that song rings true big time and has an amazing synth styling that I just never get tired of...

The Rush CD Roll the Bones is all about gambling and uses gambling metaphors throughout most of the songs....Rush must have been going through a gambling phase in the early 90's

Okay...update me here. There's a guy that sits behind home plate and looks identical to Geddy Lee. Is it, indeed, him?

I'll be around for the full baseball season in this thread, as I don't have much time to hang around in too many places.

But eventually, PM me or send me a secondary email address in some thread of yours down the line, and I'll give you a good idea of the boots I have and I'll send em you r way. I got them for free, and it's all in the name of sharing, and what not.

Hell, I even have a DVD with Rush at The Palace in Detroit from their Counterparts tour. It is that good!

Weird, as I was turned on to Rush in about '82, and for the longest time, I didn't like Signals that much; the synth sound, that is. But I dug the HELL out of the Analog Kid, along with 4-5 other tracks, out of 8, eventually! LOL
