Many years ago I went to a training class for Welfleet routers in Toronto and one of the guys in the class was a Rush fanatic. I am a big fan, but this guy knew everything about the band and then some. One of the tidbits he knew was that Alex owned a bar/club in downtown Toronto and that sometimes he dropped in to play with the house band. So we all piled into some cabs one night and went.
Sure enough, Alex shows up and this guy is just speechless. Eventually he gtes his snses enough to ask for an autograph and gets it on a Canadian $20 bill. I just shook his hand and said hello and that I really enjoy the music, he seemed very happy to hear that.
