The only surviving photo of my grandfather – Gershon Eliezer Rubinstein – whom I am named after – In the middle of a winter’s night in 1940 he was dragged from his home in Wierzbnik Poland, at gunpoint, thrown into jail, then sent to his death at Treblinka Concentration Camp. His crime ?

Geddy’s book was a good read, he talked a lot about his parents’ holocaust experiences.

As I recall, the brits aren’t really fans of Jews and Israel in general. IIRC.

What about the voice of Geddy Lee

How did it get so high?

I wonder if he speaks

Like an ordinary guy

“I know him, and he does!”

Well you’re my fact checkin’ cous

His voice hasn’t been high since like 1980.

Have you read any Rush lyrics? I don’t think they’re leftists.

What is the name of the book?

Neil Peart was a big fan of Ayn Rand.

Well Neil was. He used to travel from show to show on his motorcycle and he'd take pics of church signs, the ones who have a little message board they could post sayings on. He put pics in his books and loathed them. Heard him in an interview complaining about being offended by church signs in the USA being offensive to him because he found it to be them telling him now he should think. Quite disappointing since I considered him to be very intelligent.

Imagine traveling through the Bible Belt in a country you're not a citizen of and being offended by church signs.

Hmm. “Free will” and to an extent “Something for Nothing” were anti-faith; and on the other foot “The Trees” and “Red Barchetta” drive right into the heart of leftist dystopian goals.

Not sure what that has to do with Getty’s grandfather tho…
