"There's a special connection between Rush and Cleveland," says Geddy Lee about how Cleveland radio broke the band in the United States. "When you hear yourself on the radio and you're 19 years old and you're in a new country, its a marvelous feeling."
Rush bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson were in Cleveland at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for Rush Fan Day, with many questioning the future of the band after Neil Peart's announcement to cease performing and recording with Rush. "There's no plans to reform (the band) at this point," says Lee. "The future is a wide open question mark. I'm really enjoying not knowing where I'm headed."
