Funnily, every time Red Barchetta came on the radio, I couldn't get to the dial fast enough to change the channel! Not a fan. Then something clicked in the late 80s and I had to have everything they released. Looking back, I had a "WTH was I thinking!" period about why I didn't like them.
When they stopped in AZ during a tour, they stayed at the resort where I worked as a bellman. Geddy also used to vacation there with his family. Everyone knew I was a fan so they would always let me help them to their room. At first, Geddy was a little reserved, but after a few times he was more personable and saw I was not some wacko fan (as an employee we were never allowed to gush over anyone, ask for autographs, etc., which I wouldn't have done anyway...I respected everyone's privacy). THEY even greeted me one time in a courtyard before I knew they were in the hotel. Surprised the heck out of me. Didn't help that Geddy was wearing a big sunhat!
