| | j. - How the Holocaust rocked Rush front man Geddy Lee |
 | | Lee was 16 when he formed the first incarnation of Rush with guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer John Rutsey in 1969, and released their debut album in 1973. | | | Lee told his mother’s story to band drummer and lyricist Neil Peart, and “Neil took that sentiment and wrote [the lyrics to] ‘Red Sector A,’” says Lee, who wrote the music. | | | Lee’s solo album, “My Favorite Headache,” released in 2000, includes the song “Grace to Grace,” which he co-wrote with fellow Canadian Ben Mink, a multi-instrumentalist and another child of Holocaust survivors. |

| | "My Favorite Headache" Reviewed By Damon Jasso |
| | Most tracks on this CD were written by Geddy Lee and Ben Mink. | | | Geddy Lee's first solo effort is a well crafted album. | | | Geddy proves to the listener that he is more than a Rock Icon, and after thirty years he can still produce well crafted music that does not remain in a past era. |

| | Geddy Lee - CanEHdian.com |
| | Lee is joined on this album by ex-Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron, who is a dead ringer in style and sound for Rush drummer Neal Peart and ex-FM guitarist, violinist, multi-instrumentalist, Ben Mink. | | | While Lee stretches his song writing ability (no doubt with much assistance from Ben Mink) to include an absorbing laid back symphonic piece and a ballad, the album for the most part, is filled with the obligatory amount of Rush sounding hard rock songs. | | | There is no new ground covered on this album, but with Lee’s unique vocals shining and enough Rush influences no doubt fans will be kept happy until the next official band album. |

| | Geddy Lee: My Favorite Headache - PopMatters Music Review |
| | Lee's new solo album, My Favorite Headache, is virtually indistinguishable from latter period Rush albums, Presto and Roll the Bones. | | | Geddy Lee is generally regarded as the best bass guitarist in rock music. | | | Lee's high-pitched vocals, untouched by 30 years of touring and recording, still send shivers up the spine. |

| | Lee says he'd love to do a club tour to support the album, but time may be running out on him; if all goes as planned, he plans to reconvene with Lifeson and Peart early next year. | | | As the band was put on indefinite hold to allow Peart room to heal, Lee acted on a whim and began writing songs with an old friend, Ben Mink [formerly of the early Eighties Canadian band FM]. | | | But now that the album is finally in stores, it may not have to hold back the tide on its own for very long. |

| | Interview: Geddy Lee of Rush, May 1997 |
| | Now, I'm curious about who has swept Geddy Lee away musically, and the answer I get is surprising, and much plainer than the flights of musical fancy I was thinking: "I really like the Tragically Hip, and I'm dismayed they haven't become more popular worldwide. | | | But I have other, better memories of Rush, and the band's albums, Fly by Night, 2112, Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, and, of course, Caress of Steel, were albums worshipped in high school, songs from the soundtrack of my youth. | | | I thought that the three members of Rush looked like deranged, shaggy Muppets, but when I heard Geddy Lee sing "We've taken care of everything, the words you read, the songs you sing, the pictures that bring pleasure to your eye," that sounded like something my teacher might say. |
