RushBoingo Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Well I was checking a canadian news archive to see what happened on my birthday when I though I would check the Rush Birthdays too. Geddy appeared in the births section and this is what it said Also Geddy Lee 1953-rock & roll singer, bass guitarist, keyboard player, born on this day in Toronto in 1953. Lee founded the Canadian rock group Rush in 1968 with guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer John Rutsey. Rutsey left after Rush's first album in 1974, and was replaced by Neil Peart. Million selling albums include 2112, Moving Pictures, All the World's a Stage and Signals; hit singles include Rivendell, By-Tor and the Snow Dog, Necromancer, The Fountain of Lamneth, Distant Early Warning; sang on Bob and Doug McKenzie's Great White North song 'Take Off.' The band was recently awarded the Order of Canada. Anyone notice any errors, or perhaps dreams. here it the original page: http://www1.sympatico.ca/cgi-bin/on_this_day?mth=Jul&day=29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerxster Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 The Necromancer and The Fountain of Lamneth were singles? No wonder it was the Down The Tubes tour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushBoingo Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Well I found it funny for the fact that of all the songs picked, they went with Rivendell and the epics from Carres of Steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animate Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 It is funny! Can you imagine the rationale that went into it "hmmm, well we can only touch on the absolute highlights of Geddy's career.. should it be "Tom Sawyer"?.. nah..."Spirit of Radio".. nope.. "Fountain of Lamneth" Thats it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUPower Windows Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) It's not Geddy's band :P Alex is the founding member.All the hit singles listed are the lulzI would think the list would go more Tom Sawyer, Spirit of Radio, Limelight, and Closer to the Heart Edited March 4, 2013 by GUPower Windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hilarious. This person must have not known the band at all and got confused by the interwebs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
