A Fascinating Conversation with One of Rock 'n' Roll's All-Time Greats

In a recent interview with legendary journalist Dan Rather, Rush bassist Geddy Lee shared the story of how he joined the iconic rock band. Lee explained that he had been playing in a local band called Whiskey Howl when he met Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer John Rutsey.

The three musicians quickly bonded over their shared love of music, and they soon began playing together regularly. However, it wasn't until Rutsey left the band in 1974 that Lee officially became Rush's bassist.

Lee said that he was initially hesitant to join Rush because he wasn't sure if he was good enough to play with such talented musicians. However, Lifeson and Rutsey convinced him to give it a try, and he quickly proved himself to be a valuable member of the band.

Rush went on to become one of the most successful rock bands of all time, selling over 40 million albums worldwide. The band is known for its complex and progressive sound, as well as its innovative live performances.

Lee's story is an inspiring example of how following your dreams can lead to great things. He is a talented musician who has achieved great success in his field. He is also a humble and generous person who is always willing to help others.
