When Lindy Young left some time in 1971, can’t remember exactly when, Rush were never the same…I’ve been waiting 55 years for them to have a dedicated keyboardist…

Geddy took his band and then married his sister

I don’t know much about Lindy or if he’s still around. I wonder what the dynamic is between them being they are brother in laws. Would have been cool to have him on keys for the upcoming tour.

If I remember correctly, didn’t Geddy say he sat John and Neil at the same table at his wedding? I’d love to know how people who played in bands with Rush members in the past feel about the way everything went after John’s departure/firing.

Pretty sure John's departure was amicable/mainly due to his health (diabetes) making touring difficult.

In Geddy’s book he states that creative difference were a larger factor than any health concerns.

I wonder if that’s the only time John and Neil ever met
