That time Geddy Lee called me up and I asked if he had fond recollections of Rush’s early days

By Steve Newton

Back in the spring of ’97 I did my first interview with Geddy Lee of Rush.

He called me up from the band’s office in Toronto and I congratulated him on the birth of his new daughter.

Then I mentioned that the band was re-releasing its seventies catalog, and asked him if he had fond recollections of the band’s early days, some 23 years later.
