I heard a story several years ago that Randy had a big fan-boy moment, when he asked his favorite band, Rush, if he could photograph one of their concerts up close. Geddy Lee had a big fan-boy moment when he learned that Randy wanted to photograph them, and immediately said YES! It's always strangely surprising when a famous person in one profession turns into a fan-boy of a famous person in a different profession, and acts no different than the millions of non-famous in any profession fanboys do.
