(from By-Torpedia, updated Lifeson 34th, 2112)
The entity known as Geddy Lee from the Great White North turned 55 earth-years on July 29, 2008. Sometimes known as “Canada” in the Days Before the Priests of Syrinx, this vast wasteland produced very little of note, but Lee and two other GWN comrades, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart, formed a Rock and Roll (see By-Torpedia entry “Rock and Roll”) band known as RUSH and managed to break free of its frozen bounds and escaped into the Limelight in their Red Barchetta.
Lee played bass and keyboards in the band and provided lead vocals, his high ethereal voice one of the factors of RUSH’s popularity. Lee and his bandmates continued well into the the first half of the 21st Century until they were called to Cygnus X-I by the Necromancer’s Superconductor which whisked them away through the Vapor Trails by way of Jacob’s Ladder and they lived into the Dog Years with the Analog Kid and the New World Man, Closer to the Heart and a Farewell to Kings YIPPEEE!!! I Think I’m Going Bald!
Whoa…sorry, Geddy. Happy Birthday, man!
Love-
Clods of Sodom
No one says Happy Birthday quite like Clods of Sodom
“this vast wasteland produced very little of note”
what about Ian Tyson? Neil Young? Joni Mitchell? The Guess Who? Steppenwolf? Gordon “wreck of the motherfuckin’ fitzgerald” Lightfoot? Hawksley Workman? Arcade Fire? Broken Social Scene? Feist? Universal health care? and if it wasn’t for Canadian oil, you’d be up to your necks in the middle east instead of just up to your asses. and they’re bilingual.
And don’t forget Bryan Adams, Celine Dion, and Anne Murray. Wait, whose side I am on here.
I think Gurn Blanston is Canadian.
