Well here's a very interesting nugget unearthed today…

It seems that after Geddy and Alex appeared at the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert in LA, Sir Paul McCartney joined them for drinks and encouraged the dynamic duo to return to touring!!

Geddy recalled the experience during a conversation with Rolling Stone, sharing: “Dave [Grohl] was so sweet. He comes up to us at rehearsal, and he goes, ‘Paul McCartney’s up next to rehearse, and he’s outside, and he said to me ‘Dave, I’ve never met anyone from Rush before’. And I said, ‘I’ve never met him! Bring him in, please.’ And he came in. He’s just a very lovely man. A very positive person.”

Though Geddy suggested that Sir Paul had never heard their music before, he sat in on the show. “I think he was really curious because people probably had mentioned us to him,” he explained.

Following the performance, Geddy recalls him being “so warm and embracing and positive”. McCartney joined them for drinks, and they got “plastered” together, with the former Beatle encouraging them to return to touring.

“And he was very emphatic,” Ged recalled, “Talking about, ‘You know what Ringo always says: ‘It’s what we do.’ And I said, ‘Talk to Al, because he’s the stubborn one.’ And so he was lecturing Al about how great it is to tour. ‘You have to do it, man. You have to get back out there, man.’ And Alex said something like, ‘I’ll do it, if you’ll be our manager.'”

“It was really fun, really funny, but he had a point. That’s the way he looks at life. He’s ageless because he really, truly believes he was born to do this. That’s what you do. And you just do it. You don’t question it. And I think we all sometimes forget that,” Geddy concluded.

So if Geddy and Alex ever decide to hit the road again, we may have the Beatles legend to thank! And perhaps Macca will be their Manager too… 😎
