Geddy Lee's Caption: The Pain of Politics. by Evan Solomon, Globe and Mail, May 26, 2007. Only a preview is available online but this short interview is so worth reading...In the "caption" series the Globe and Mail gives a public figure a photo from the recent news, tells them nothing about the image and then asks them to create a caption based on their interpretation. There is then a brief interview to discuss the caption, how the person arrived at it, to reveal what the photo is of, etc. Geddy's parents were Holocaust survivors and the photo he was given was of a family saying goodbye to each other after the temporary meetings between relatives arranged by the governments of North and South Korea...All I can say is pay the 4.95 Canadian to access this piece online, it is really amamzing.
