Hollywood Reporter says Geddy Lee had this to say about the upcoming journey across North America:

It’s been over 10 years since Alex and I have performed the music of Rush alongside our fallen bandmate and friend Neil. A lifetime’s worth of songs that we had put our cumulative hearts and souls into writing, recording and playing together onstage.

I’ve always loved Rush’s music, but it was something Geddy Lee did outside the band that made me respect him even more. Back in 1981, he teamed up with fellow Canadians Bob and Doug McKenzie for their Great White North album — and delivered what might be his greatest pop culture moment. The “hit single” “Take Off” is pure comedic and musical perfection.

Under the Bridge – Danbury’s Hidden Art Project

Danbury, CT has a lot of murals which have been sanctioned by the city and then there is the illegal graffiti. The Hat City has its fair share of illegal graffiti but most of it, is off the beaten-path. It’s near the train tracks, and under bridges, it’s in places most residents will never go. I intentionally seek these places out. I like to go to places most people would find scary, grimy or even dangerous. I’m willing to climb over downed trees, step on broken glass and dodge rusting metal to find my way to a place I was never meant to see.
