RIP Neil Peart - Rush

[Evan]

I found out an interesting thing about Geddy Lee today. His name is actually Gary.. but with the heavily accented way his mother used to pronounce it, his friends started calling him 'Geddy', because that's how she pronounced it.. strange, but apparently true

Yes, Gary (Geddy) Weinrib. His brother Allen has received Canadian Juno Awards for his production of Rush’s videos like Rush In Rio, Time Stands Still, etc. Their parents were Polish holocaust survivors (Neil wrote Red Sector A based on their stories).

Oh my, what was the cause? It would not be a stretch to say he was the most influential person of my early life. (The "Professor")

Age 67, cause, brain cancer.
RIP

A great man, whose interests were very broad. Not only one of the best drummers in the world, but also a poet and an author. I understand Neil was the main philosophical / lyrical source for Rush's music. Rip - you certainly affected me.
