I was there and got within 5 feet of Geddy Lee, and still there were people jumping in front of me to get his autograph. I just couldn't get myself to join the flock of desperate fans to get a picture or autograph. Something about that predatory behavior just totally turns me off and feels degrading. I'd rather meet people I admire on a more level playing ground with mutual respect and less hysteria. Oh well...
I could've met him several times in Seattle when he was there doing "My Favorite Headache", he was daily hitting up the espresso bar my friend's wife owns. I got down there and he was gone. I still kick my own ass for not getting down there soon enough.
That baby is my son and I am very proud. I have seen RUSH over 60 times and have always wanted to meet them and here my son got Geddy's attention at 11 months old. The guys were very cool and Alex even signed his little RUSH T-shirt.
When Geddy held that kid and smiled, I shed a tear. Rush has changed my life and I will continue to love and follow them till the end of time. Long live Rush. God bless Geddy, Alex, and Neil for all they have done for me and the millions around the world.
@ltwinone -yup, everyone on the hollywood walk of fame has been asked to "donate" for the upkeep of the walk. just wondering what the going rate was? if you were wondering i'm a big rush fan.
Damn... I realy hope that Rush will do a show in Copenhagen. They have never been performing in Denmark... and why?? They have been performing almost everywhere in Europe. The UK, Germany, The Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy.. even Sweden. I hear that they were in Stockholm and a smaller town called Malmö in Southern Sweden right next to Denmark at their Time Machine tour. They should realy do a show in Copenhagen on their next tour. Geddy rocks!!!
I seriously wouldn't have minded Geddy Lee stealing me away from my parents as a baby. In fact, I wouldn't mind being stolen from Geddy Lee right now as a 14 year old ;)
that kid is like the luckiest person ever and he is like "who is this guy" well i can't say for sure but it looked like it, eventhough the kid had a rush shirt
I think that this video really makes me cry, but cry of joy. If Alex, Neil and Geddy (Rush) won a Grammy Award, that would also make me tear up, also!
Oh, and I looked at my footage of meeting Geddy, my hair came in contact with his hair. Idk how that happened, but, I don't think that I'll ever forget that too.
I'll never forget being there when that happened. I got my Contents Under Pressure book signed by Ged and Al. God, I cannot believe how cool they were.

stop saying "oh, Rush should be in the hall of fame" "Rush should have won a grammy" "rush this" "Rush that"
fuck you, those awards would never deserve to be worn by a band as incredible and life changing as Rush.
Abba is in the hall of fame, Rush isn't, see the people rush fans deal with here? come on.
