Geddy Lee My Effin Life!
- Thread starter jdaunt
- Start date
Geddy has authored two books. He is quite the literary figure.
My first instinct was to think that was some kind of prank or 'chop, so I went to look it up. Nope, it's legit. 
The narrative text in the BBBoB was great; Geddy's writing reads as if it's him speaking, and made the book really enjoyable. This should be a treat.
Thanks for the heads-up, OP.

Gonna be a good year for bass boks. First Geezer's book now Geddy's woohoo!
Not much to really say except seeing this thread brought back this memory.
When I was a kid I went to a summer camp on Lake Manitou near Perry Sound. At the time my favorite band was Rush and I was often blasting 2112 through a small guitar amp in my cabin.
During water skiing classes one of the counselors pointed at a house and said that it was Geddy Lee's cottage.
Fast forward a couple summers later and while on a road into McKeller there he was jogging on the main road. I didn't bother him but it was one of the more significant "celebrity" sightings I've had.
Looking forward to reading his book. I wonder if he mentions his cottage.

Ill be going to one of the UK dates. It cost quite a lot though so hope its good. The main reason though is this will probably be the last time I'll get to see him in person. I hope that isn't the case but can't see him coming back for anything after this. I will regret it if I didn't go.
Where did you see that? For the Detroit show prices i saw so far are $96 for upper level and $180 on the floor.
I was hoping he'd do another book signing tour like he did with BBB. He did one of those appearances at a bookstore in Detroit, but i had to work that day and missed it.
I'm his biggest fan here and everywhere, but I'm not coming out-of-pocket for $250 on this. Will read the book tho.
