Do you:
- Have two cats named By-Tor and The Snowdog?
- Convince people that “The Trees” is actually a 15th century Arbor Day song in the hopes that they’ll overlook its Randian message?
- Perform air drums, air guitar, air bass, air synth, and full vocal when Tom Sawyer comes on the radio at Trader Joe’s?
- Have the ‘man in the star’ emblazoned on your desktop, car doors, and the wall in your mom’s basement?
- Dress up as a Priest of the Temples of Syrinx every Halloween and some Christmases?
- Have a series of tattoos on your back depicting the evolution of Neil Peart’s drum configuration?
- Book all flights to connect through Toronto just for the luggage tags?
- Have a room in your house devoted to a gallery of sketches of Alex Lifeson eating butter in the nude?
- Teach a summer school class with one week devoted to the hidden symbols in the artwork for “Signals”?
- Have four daughters, all named Geddy Lee?
