Geddy Lee Turns 60 - Happy Birthday and Many Happy Returns!

Geddy Lee
Geddy Lee (born Gary Lee Weinrib) is celebrating his 60th birthday today!

Happy Birthday, Geddy -- and many happy returns! "Gary" was born in the small Toronto village of Willowdale. As many fans know, his given first name "Gary" transformed into "Geddy" during his high school days thanks to his mother's heavily-accented pronunciation of his name.

In addition to his musical aspirations, some of Geddy's other interests include collecting fine wines and, of course, baseball. His wine collection is rumored to include some 5,000 bottles and his love of baseball is well documented. Earlier this year, Geddy threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the home opener for the Toronto Blue Jays - something he admittedly dreamed of doing for years.

As far as birthday presents go, Geddy may have received one of the best ever back in 1974 when, also on July 29th, Neil Peart joined the group - cementing the rock trio that would continue through today.

Please join me in congratulating Geddy on reaching his 60th birthday -- and wish him many, many more!

    Saw you guys Friday in Vancouver. Just another amazing Rush show. My 17th. You're far from done that's obvious. Besides my goal is 30.
    Next tour you gotta bring out the double necks for Xanadu.
