    Well spoken, smart, clear and precise Geddy Lee has been a solid example of a meek kind hearted Rockstar for so many years. I have always been so proud of Geddy.

      Geddy read a lot while on tour. Not as much as Neil, but enough that it is no exaggeration to call him highly educated.

    What a nice boy. Your Mom is very proud of you Geddy. In fact, the way Geddy and Alex (and of course Mr. Peart) conducted themselves during Rush's career, makes me proud that they are Canadian. I grew up listening to Rush. From the very first album, I knew they would be huge. Then Neil Peart joined......

    Getty Lee is truly a class act in every since of the word! I have never heard him speak negatively about anyone or anything. Respectful, disciplined, and always inspired are 3 major words I would use to describe him, and mainly thankful for him is one major way I would describe myself for knowing Rush's music. Hopefully one day I will get to meet him to tell him how much of an influence he has been. Love, respect and always good thoughts to you Getty!.

    I'm German and sorry what happend to your family . I'm a Rush fan since Moving Pictures and saw all of your shows in Germany on the R30 Video in Frankfurt you can see me and my fried Peter for a glimpse . In the Moment I enjoy so many Rush Tribute Bands. Rush did never get the Media support in Germany the disserve. Singing about Freewill and to be an Independent spirit, is what Socialist hate. Germany didn't learn from History, we country what likes to be suppressed by collectivism. Our youth is infested with the Socialist Virus and they don't understand.
    The new fascism will not say: I am fascism. He will say: I am anti-fascism.
    (famous quote from Ignazio Silone - writer and socialist)
