We all know Geddy Lee as the lead singer and bassist of the legendary progressive rock band Rush. Now he can add best-selling author to his many accolades. The new book My Effin’ Life has officially hit the best seller list via the New York Times. The book chronicles Geddy’s life as the child of Holocaust survivors and of course his time in the limelight in Rush. Here’s just one review.
‘As someone who has spent his life telling made-up stories that are obliged to sound somewhat plausible, I am deeply envious of Geddy Lee. And it’s not only the improbable, absurd, wondrous and at times heartbreaking true story that life has gifted him that I envy, but also the warmth, care, artfulness, hard-earned wisdom and—always—the gently skewed humor with which he tells it. He’s one of my musical heroes, for reasons that are there on record, but with this book everyone can see why for so long he has also been one of my heroes as a man.’ — Michael Chabon
Geddy is currently on the road doing some readings from the book and the reviews have been outstanding. You can buy the book here.
