Cygnalschick Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 (edited) Thanks to all for welcoming me!!! Thought I'd share this article with you all about Geddy....... I found it a few days ago: This St. Petersburg Times (http://www.sptimes.com) story has been sent to you from: cygnalschick79@yahoo.com Personal inspiration By SCOTT R. BENARDE Published July 25, 2004 http://www.sptimes.com/2004/07/25/Floridia...spiration.shtml null The Canadian rock trio Rush will draw from an impressive song catalog on its 30th anniversary tour, including classics New World Man, Tom Sawyer and Freewill. The band also is performing tracks from its newest album, Feedback, a collection of favorite songs by other acts, including rock standards Summertime Blues and Heart Full of Soul. But concertgoers should pay close attention to another song in the Rush repertoire when the band performs Friday at the Ford Amphitheatre: Red Sector A. It's a track from the 1984 album Grace Under Pressure, which lead singer and bassist Geddy Lee describes as "being on the brink and having the courage and strength to survive." Rush's critics have accused the band of being bombastic in its lyrical ambitions, but Lee's is no statement of rock 'n' roll grandiosity. Red Sector A was released 20 years ago, but it is rooted in the events of April 1945, when British soldiers liberated the Nazi concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. Lee's mother, Manya (now Mary) Rubenstein, was among the survivors. (His father, Morris Weinrib, was liberated from Dachau a few weeks later.) Though Red Sector A, like much of Grace Under Pressure, is set in a bleak, apocalyptic future, what Lee calls the psychology of the song comes from the past. Lee told Rush drummer and lyricist Neil Peart about his mother's wartime experiences, and Peart "took that sentiment and wrote (the lyrics to) Red Sector A," said Lee, who wrote the music. The music, with pounding drums, chilling guitar and ominous synthesizer, transports the listener to a yet-to-come time and place. But the words resonate with any survivor or student of the Holocaust: "Ragged lines of ragged gray/Skeletons, they shuffle away/Shooting guards and smoking guns/Will cut down the unlucky ones." *** "I once asked my mother her first thoughts upon being liberated," Lee said during a recent phone conversation. "She didn't believe (liberation) was possible. She didn't believe that if there was a society outside the camp, they could allow this to exist, so she believed society was done in." When Manya Rubenstein looked out the window of a camp building where she was working on April 15, 1945, and saw prison guards with both arms raised, she thought they were offering an arrogant double salute. She did not realize British forces had overrun the camp. Manya and her fellow prisoners, Lee said, "were so malnourished, their brains were not functioning, and they couldn't conceive they'd be liberated." Manya and her future husband were in their teens when they were interred in a labor camp in their hometown, Staracohwice (also known as Starchvitzcha), Poland, in 1941. At the camp, where the couple met, prisoners were forced to work in a lumber mill, a stone quarry, and uniform and ammunition manufacturing plants. From their hometown about an hour south of Warsaw, Manya and Morris, along with many members of their families, were sent to Auschwitz, in southern Poland. Eventually Morris was shipped to Dachau, in southern Germany, and Manya to Bergen-Belsen, in northern Germany. By the end of the war, nearly 32,000 people had died at Dachau and 35,000 in Bergen-Belsen from starvation, disease, brutality and overwork, according to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. Another 10,000 at Bergen-Belsen, too ill and weak to save, died during the first month after liberation. *** Manya and Morris reunited after the war and lived in the officers' quarters of Bergen-Belsen after it was turned into a displaced persons camp. They were among 2,000 couples that married in the camp during the first few months after liberation, eager to begin new lives. "There was a tremendous rush among survivors to get married and start having kids," said Peter Black, senior historian at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. Gary Lee Weinrib was born in 1953 in Toronto, where his parents immigrated in 1947 and opened a discount variety store. (The name "Geddy" comes from how his mother pronounces Gary.) Unlike many Holocaust survivors, Lee's parents did not hide their experiences from their children. Lee, who has an older sister and a younger brother, recalls hearing their horror stories as early as age 8. Though Lee saids his mother still insists she never spoke to her children about the Holocaust when they were young, Lee remembers the stress and nightmares triggered by the stories of Holocaust brutality and cruelty. "These were the things that happened to them during the most formative time in their lives. Some people go to horseback riding camp; my parents went to concentration camp," Lee said, explaining why the stories were so common at home. Manya and Morris gave their children a Jewish education, and Lee had a bar mitzvah at 13. His father had died the year before from chronic health problems that took root in the camps. (Today, Lee considers himself a cultural Jew and celebrates many Jewish holidays with his family, but he does not believe in organized religion.) His mother, like many Holocaust survivors who became parents, was overly protective of her children. During Lee's teens, which he describes as "a selfish time," he distanced himself from his parents' history. Singing in a rock band, Lee said, "was me yelling back" at authority. Well after Morris Weinrib died, an aunt told Lee his father had played the balalaika at bar mitzvahs and weddings in Poland but had purposely kept that from his children. "He didn't want us going into music as a career," Lee said. "It was a great feeling to know he was musical." *** Lee was 16 when he formed the first incarnation of Rush with guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer John Rutsey in 1969. They released their debut album in 1974, the year Peart joined the band. Rush, which evolved from Led Zeppelinesque blues-rock to Yes-influenced progressive rock, became a musical force after the release of the album 2112 in 1976, and it has sold millions of albums and toured arenas and stadiums since. Although critics skewer the band as bombastic, fans adore Rush's stellar musicianship and songs that appeal to the intellect as well as emotions. For example, 2112 is the band's dissertation on writer and philosopher Ayn Rand. Subsequent albums have tackled fantasy and sci-fi themes and, with songs such as Red Sector A, contemplated survival. Red Sector A is not the only song Lee has written based on his mother's life. Lee's solo album, My Favorite Headache (2000), includes the song Grace to Grace, a song co-written with fellow Canadian Ben Mink, a multiinstrumentalist best known for his work on K.D. Lang's 1992 breakout album, Ingenue, and also the child of Holocaust survivors. The song, Lee said, is about his mother's courage, survival instincts and "ability to keep her head up" through the horror she endured. Lee's mother doesn't believe the anti-Semitism that fueled the Holocaust has disappeared. Anti-Semitic incidents such as the April firebombing of a Jewish day school in Montreal, Lee said, "are upsetting to all of us. There is a large Jewish community in Toronto, and many of them are Holocaust survivors. My mother is sensitive to any act of anti-Semitism anywhere in the world, not just Canada. There is no such thing in the homes of Holocaust survivors that, "It can't happen here.' They always feel it can happen again. My mother never felt secure again" after liberation from the camps. Except for possibly one time. In 1995, Lee, his sister and brother accompanied their mother to Germany to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen. They met many other survivors, as well as British army veterans who had liberated the camp. Their mother took Lee and his siblings back to her hometown in Poland and the house in which she grew up. "The Holocaust doesn't go away," Lee said. "My mother still has a tattoo on her arm, but that was a great trip for her, a completion of something. It made her feel fantastic to stand on those grounds with her children. For the first time, she felt like a victor (over the Nazis), like, "I'm here, and you're not!' " - Scott R.
