For nearly five decades, his playing and work as co-writer, vocalist and keyboardist has been an essential part of the success story of Canadian progressive rock trio Rush.

What an effing life!
Revisado: 12-23-23
Geddy Lee is a true mensch. “My Effing Life” serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it is a chronicle of one of the most unusual rock bands in the history of the genre.
Secondly, it is a reminder of what happens to a society when the victims of tyranny and the cataclysmic events that coincide with it die off. Their children remember, but by the time their grandchildren come of age the horrors have faded and the cycle starts all over again. The current political environment echoes that of 100 years ago. And yet here we are, hoping that this time will be different.
If we don’t listen to people like Gary Lee Weinrib,
Rush and other progressive rock bands tackle big issues. They talk about humanity more than humans. They tell cautionary and existential tales of morality and society.
Woven through the book are tales of hard drug use that almost sounds wholesome. As a Rush fan who had read most of Neil Peart’s books, it was interesting to hear some of the similar stories from a different perspective.
Tough times demand tough songs.
No one sounds like Geddy Lee. No One.
It’s unlikely that Alex Lifeson will join his bandmates in writing his own memoir, but that would be a fun (and likely funny) read.

Two weeks before his twenty-first birthday, Las Vegas native Bobby Ingersoll finds out he’s inherited a crushing gambling debt from his scumbag father. The debt is owed to an even scummier bag named Fraser Ruphart who oversees his bottom-rung criminal empire from the classy-adjacent Trump International Hotel. Bobby’s prospects of paying off the note, which comes due the day he turns twenty-one, are about as dim as the sign on the tower’s façade.

A fun and enjoyable story
Revisado: 11-13-22
This novel stands alone as an enjoyable work of fiction. If you enjoy Penn’s work at all, it is especially compelling.
There are plenty of Easter eggs for those who follow his public appearances and side gig as a public intellectual. (The whole “carney trash” bit is just a self deprecating part of his charm). Penn is wicked smart.
The book is filled with Pennaphorisms like “crazy as a shithouse rat”. This is entertainment that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
The premise is well described elsewhere.
