Rush's Geddy Lee kicks off his My Effin' Life In Conversation tour tonight (Monday, November 13th) at the Beacon Theatre in New York. The 14-date tour will promote Lee's new memoir, "My Effin' Life," which comes out Tuesday, November 14th. Lee will not be performing during the appearances but will instead discuss the book with special guest interviewers, read portions of it and take questions from the audience. Lee tells us that he's looking forward to doing something that's very different from a conventional rock concert: I hope to have an engaging conversation for the first part of the show and then I'm gonna do some reading a new kind of performance for me. And then I really want to open it up to questions. I want to talk to fans. I want to hear what their questions are. I want to answer their questions. I want to have a connection to them on a more singular level, so I hope that can work out." SOUNDCUE :30 OC: that can work out $1
