Geddy Lee – The ONE Rush Song He’d Play For You
What’s the ONE Rush song Geddy Lee would play for you (if you had never heard Rush before). We asked him this question – and talked about his new autobiography “My Effin’ Life” and his visit to the Fillmore on December 4th. What can you expect? We caught up with Geddy:
Gotta be honest – was surprised by his answer to the “Geddy Lee – The ONE Rush Song He’d Play For You” question.
Here’s more from the Rush website about this tour:
The evening promises to be a once-in-a-life-time event. After the curtain rises, Geddy Lee will give his fans a peek into the very fabric of his life: from a deep reflection of his family and childhood, to a dive into the history of Rush; from the determined pursuit of music, to the personal memories with his life-long friends and band-mates, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart. Joined on stage by a special guest interviewer, Geddy Lee will be reading key passages from his forthcoming book My Effin’ Life; he will then share thoughts and stories taken from his experience. Fans will then have the chance to participate in a special Q&A, with Geddy Lee answering their questions directly.
“Writing this book has meant spending so much time living in the past. I’ve never lived my life looking anywhere but forward, which is why I resisted doing this kind of thing for so long. Being in a band all those years was reassuring because it was an ongoing thing. It felt like it was forever. There was always unfinished business: the next record, the next set design, the next tour. It’s been the theme of my life. But you need a lot more determination to proceed in the world of music without the comfort of your bandmates, and I can only hope that finishing this book will release me to return to what I do and love best”. – GEDDY LEE
