FountainOfSyrinx Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I'm curious for all of y'all out there, do you have any Rush connections? Someone you know that helped a band member or knows them personally? I learned that the husband of my cousin (and I see him frequently, it's not like he lives in Scotland and I never see him, I see him alot) anyways the husband of my cousin, HIS brother put in a pool for Ged!! And apparently Ged said "Just, add anything that would make my wife happy." That's pretty BA!! I was excited to learn that..at least I think it's cool! So it there anything like that for y'all??

Syrinx Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 A good friend of mine used to baby sit for Geddy and his wife. He was at Geddy's house the day he got his first mini moog. Another business associate's father took young Geddy to synagogue every day after his father died. I have a few more but that's a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 A friend of mine who is a musician knows them and has worked with them before and has been on a boat or yacht having some leisure time in the past. He gets backstage passes all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HigherWater Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 The Guys have a very special restaurant that they visit when they're in town. Though they are quite secretive of their reservation schedule, I had an insider. (I was currently working at a 'sister' restaurant) So, instead of showing up with a reservation and stalking, I choose to order them a very particular bottle of bubbles with a heartfelt thank you from a lifelong fan. I'm told they thoroughly enjoyed the bottle before moving on to several other bottles in the 4-500 dollar range. In thirty years as a Rush fan, this is as close as I've ever been to them. I'm satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druid13 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I knew a guy who once claimed to have trapped one of Neil's farts in a glass jar. I really did not know what to think but took him at his word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doublereeder Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 One guy came up to me at work when I was wearing a Rush shirt, said he had some touring connection. I'm pretty sure Ged and I have the same pair of tight Levi's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
