I'm enjoying Geddy Lee's new autobiography, My Effin’ Life. He reveals a lot about himself, in and out of Rush, that we didn't know.

His brief co***ne period (late 70s/early80s) was the only time substances ever happened in the band. “In the co***ne years, coke was everywhere,” Lee says. “Like, during the drum solo, you do a line. I really didn’t do any coke before a gig because I could feel it in my throat, and that was hard on my voice. Occasionally, maybe after sound check, you might do a bump and then you get on with your day, but it was mostly towards the end of the night when you felt like you had earned a bit of a reward [laughs], so you’d get high. But it’s an insidious drug, and it really moves quietly and quickly through an entire crew, an entire organization. It was very dangerous, and it took me a while before I realized the trap I’d slipped into. Thankfully, I was well brought-up by my mom. I realized, ‘I’m behaving like a losing dog here. I have to stop.'”

I didn't know about that, but certainly knew about this. “If Rush stood for anything, it stood for the evidence of what rehearsal can do for you,” Lee says. “Rehearsal is the key. If you learn your instrument and you play it over and over again, you can retain it. And a part of your brain knows to do that. That frees up another part of your brain to sing. Most of the time in my career, the thing I think about the most while I’m playing three instruments is singing, because it’s really hard.”
