You can find everything you need to know about Geddy Lee here:

http://wikiality.wikia.com/Geddy_Lee

EXCERPT:

NOT QUITE GIRLIE, NOT QUITE MAN,
GEDDY LEE
IS ALL GIRLIEMAN.

"What about the voice of Geddy Lee?
How did it get so high?
I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?"
—"Stereo", Pavement

Geddy Lee is a Jewish man tragically born without any testicles. Although he was treated like a freak in his Canadian gym classes (curling and hockey being the only sports taught) and will never be able to naturally reproduce (although regardless of the condition of his nonexistent testicles, the size of his prodigious nose would prevent him from getting within two feet of anybody, especially a woman), he developed a reputation from a young age for having an immasculinely high voice.

Geddy shattered sexual stereotypes and gender roles in vocal music throughout his formative years and eventually joined the local band Rush, the other members of which were sissy boys. He felt at home immediately.

But wait... there's more:

EXCERPT:

Early Life

Geddy Lee was born June 32, 2112, in Moosenosehair Valley, Eastern Canada. His mother, Céline Dion was raped by a masked attacker later revealed to be K.D Lang. Dion tried to keep Geddy a secret. She felt he would damage her career more than the song that sank Titanic and drowned Leonardo DiCaprio. Geddy's birth was a miraculous one, at first the doctors thought he was dead because he made no noise at all. After running tests they conclude that his voice was in fact too high pitched for human to here. This made his childhood incredibly difficult. His only friends were a pair of white mice. They eventually got so annoyed with his high pitched screeching they committed suicide. Geddy was so traumatized by this he created an imaginary friend, which he named Alex Lifson. Alex was created to laugh at his jokes, not make fun of his voice and most importantly be the only person on the face of the planet with a worse haircut than him.

I like Yes, or I used to anyway, don't listen to them much these days.

If I'm in a mood for progressive it's usually Genesis.

And I don't consider any of them classic rock.

You sure are argumentative. Why can't you handle that not everyone likes Rush? I don't know who I consider wank jazz, because I hear it on the radio or somewhere else, and I don't like it so I don't want to investigate any further. I think this Jason Marsalis article sums up what I'm getting at. Rush aren't as extreme as this type of jazz he's talking about I don't think, but I still feel their music is characterised by unnecessarily complex structures for their own sake.

I'm fine with not everyone liking Rush. But I think the Rush haters who seem to pick their cheesiest artiest crap and ignore the good stuff are kind of silly.

The why don't you just STFU about them having "good stuff"? There isn't any "good stuff" – it is all just a screeching cacophonous mess.
