Having said that, some funk and soul guys being featured would have been nice. Maybe he'll get a second season.

It’s kind of shocking that the bassist from Canadian nerd rock titans Rush didn’t pay homage to the funk and soul greats given how much he stole from those dudes. @Flamencology — can you walk next door to Geddy’s house and talk some sense into him? And on the way back, knock over Jordan B. Peterson’s trash cans.

Maybe he only listened to rock and country western. Geddy is a National Canadian treasure .

He did a book and interviewed a number of rock bassists/acquaintances. This project was spawned from that.
He's got a baseball film in the works that he's passionate about but I'd imagine there could be more installments of this, if successful on whatever streaming platforms

You're probably right. He's Canadian. He will have met some 'can-can and chanson guys' but never 'funk and soul guys'. Bet he could at least have included some of the 'can-can and chanson guys' and not just a bunch of 'microbrewery and helicopter skiing guys' :embarrassed:

Lee's brief cocaine period (circa late Seventies/early Eighties) was the only time substances ever crept into Rush's performances. "In the cocaine 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.'"

His only number 1 hit, and it’s not even his.
