Blue-Jays' Catcher is a Rush Fan
"Jays  catcher Gregg Zaun makes no secret of his music interests or the fact  that he is a huge fan of the band Rush. So at a recent Toronto game  against the Oakland Athletics at the Rogers Centre, Zaun was  sufficiently psyched when he learned that Rush bassist/vocalist Geddy  Lee was in attendance.  Zaun, whose first plate appearance each home game is accompanied by the  Rush tune Limelight, asked the stadium audio crew to play Limelight for  all of his plate appearances that night as a tribute to Lee. 'I was  watching him as I walked to the plate to see if he noticed but he was  talking to someone the first time up,' Zaun said. 'The second time,  though, he stood up and applauded. That was so cool.' It got even cooler  when Zaun took Athletics pitcher Kirk Saarloos deep for a home run and  pointed directly at Lee as he crossed the plate. Lee pointed right back,  which made Zaun's day. - Toronto Sun. - May 22, 2006
Alex Lifeson on Kastner's "Have You Seen Lucky"
Alex Lifeson appears on John Kastner's Have You Seen Lucky, released May 11th.  In 2003, Lifeson remixed the "Facination Unknown" single  for John Kastner's current band, All Systems Go!, and later performed  live with Kastner and Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy at the White Ribbon benefit  concert in June 2005.
"A cross between everything I've done over the past 20 years. Alex from Rush plays guitar on it and Lee Ving from Fear sings on it – so it’s really all over the place. That’s my crazy 70's upbringing in a nutshell". - John Kastner, Skiddle.com, May 18, 2006
