I took it as a chance to ask him the age-old mystery of who the narrator was for ‘The Necromancer.’ A lot of people think it’s Neil [Peart] since he is known for doing the voice on Subdivisions but Geddy [Lee] said it was Terry Brown.”
Geddy Lee viciously called this Rush bandmate a ‘rat.’ Justbecause2112 discussed talking sports with Lee. “[I] just finished meeting him in Austin, Texas. What a great day it was. I discussed baseball with him. Asked him how he felt on the controversial first base call. He said it was a bullshit rule. He went for the Nationals because they use to be the [Montreal] Expos.”
