Book Review: Rock 'n' roller and Rush pioneer Geddy Lee goes deep in his memoir, 'My Effin' Life'

Geddy Lee is a rock star, that’s undeniable. But he’s also a polite Canadian to the core. So it’s fitting that the Rush icon picked a not-too-bawdy title for his memoir. “My Effin’ Life” is an engrossing tale of a “classic underachiever” who became a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame vocalist, bassist, and keyboard player, says Associated Press critic Mark Kennedy. It’s a great read for anyone interested in the prog-rock trio or the music scene from the 1970s onward. Lee’s writing is like his band’s songs, smart, gloriously nerdy and wonderfully thoughtful. Kennedy says this 400-page narrative is an “effin' good read.”
