Rush singer Geddy Lee posted about the Holocaust, “My heartfelt thanks to all – especially the survivors – that came out to hear my family’s harrowing story of survival, and to mourn the inhumanity of 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust. So hard to believe it’s been 80 years since my mom and dad were liberated.
Grateful to everyone at the Stan Greenspon Holocaust Center @stangreensponcenter for the important educational work you do.
Special thanks to our superb moderator, Geoff Edgers for handling this sensitive discussion so brilliantly. 🙏”

One could say that Geddy Lee is the sport of baseball’s de-facto Rock and Roll Ambassador. His love for the game has not been kept a secret during his five decades in the spotlight, whether sitting behind home plate at his hometown Toronto Blue Jays’ games, attending games throughout the MLB, or singing the national anthem at the 1993 All-Star game in Baltimore. In his book, Geddy tells the stories of 72 unique pieces of baseball memorabilia he has collected over the years.
“Baseball was in my bones long before music started to seriously divert my attention.Through the Eighties … I was absolutely mad for the game, devoting much of my spare time to learning the nuances of the gameplay and who the current players were, devouring reference books, biographies and novels about the sport …
Those game-used baseballs brought me closer to the athletes, transporting me right onto the field during their moments of triumph and failure. I fell in love with the idea that baseballs could tell a story.” – Geddy Lee
