Why does geddy lee wear sunglasses

Travel books are the perfect escape. He walked from Holland to the Middle East in the s, right as the dark cloud of the Nazi regime was descending. You build a special kind of friendship with people, doing baseball deals and chit-chatting on email every day. I love pickled herring too. Thanks for the book recommendation, Geddy!

I will check out that trilogy for sure. Toronto Life. Bobby , Stephen Colbert 's stage manager, also wears glasses because he is blind, but his glasses aren't dark. Bobby hasn't realized this yet, though, because he is: a blind, and b stupid.

Despite the fact that Geddy is blind, his bandmates still trust him to play complicated basslines and synth riffs. One of the greatest accomplishments of Geddy Lee is the creation of the secret city of Geddysburg. It was in Geddysburg, a labyrinth of steel strings and bass pedal buildings, that the Battle of Geddysburg was fought at the pumping, pounding, explosive climax of World War 0.

It was a decisive Canadian victory. Also a little known fact is that Rush music, specifically the song "Tom Sawyer" was written as a secret code to control a phantom killer satellite in orbit over the Earth. This fact was revealed in a recent episode of the TV show "Chuck". During the war, Geddy served as a "double agent"; he later inspired Rush lyricist Neil Peart to write a song about his exploits for the album Counterparts. It was not a good song. He uses the word fabulous as a descriptive tool.

He is Geddy Lee. Who knew? Rush have been around since , and a host of bands has been under their sway: Metallica , Nine Inch Nails , Soundgarden , Silverchair and Primus among them. Rush have just released Test for Echo , their 16th studio LP, which continues a scale-back on keyboards.

During recording, the fellas were buoyed by inspirational slogans, which they posted on the studio walls. You took a year and a half off before this album — an eternity for you.

Well, in my wife became pregnant. And I really wanted to be around when the baby was born and to spend more time with my older son. After a year I was getting the itch to write again, but Neil [Peart] was in the process of reinventing his drumming style. Was the coach at all daunted by teaching Neil? I think Neil said he only played in front of this guy a couple of times. How does being a father change your outlook on life?

My priorities fall in a totally different way. Neil is at this moment motorcycling through Michigan. I cannot picture you watching Winnie the Pooh. I know all the songs. It subconsciously influenced this record to a great degree. Do you surf it? Well, I play rotisserie-league baseball on it. Tell me about the first Rush gig ever. With Neil Peart? Pittsburgh Civic Arena. We were the opening act for Uriah Heep.
