Geddy Lee has been married to the same woman since 1976.
Their son is a PhD.

I always like hearing about musicians who stay married.  Charlie Watts (Rolling Stones) has been married to the same woman for over 50 years.  I think that's incredible. [/quote]

PP and I am borderline obsessed with LT rocker marriages.

John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin married in 1967

Jack Blades of Night Ranger and Damn Yankees: married in 1977

Maybe my fave couple: Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo: 1982[/quote]

That is incredible considering their lifestyles. My fave is U2’s Bono and his wife Ali. They were high school sweethearts in Dublin (1982).

And Jon Bon Jovi! High school sweethearts.[/quote]

Most, if not all of these, have kept their family life private.  Coincidence?[/quote]

PP quoted. Great point. Something to be said about keeping your professional life just that.

Alright...since I’m here I’ll share another fact.

Margaret Hamilton, known forever as the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz was a former schoolteacher. She got into acting when she was (unusual for the time) a newly divorced mother with a very young son. She was perhaps self-conscious of her “scary” image and appeared on Mr. Rogers to explain how she was NOT wicked  and was playing “ make believe.” As an older woman, she was cast in a long running Maxwell House commercials.[/quote]

Love this thread! This post has my heart. I am borderline obsessed with Wizard of Oz. There are so many great stories behind the making of this movie, the munchkins, ruby slippers, technicolor and Judy Garland revised lines. This could be another thread!

So, I’ll share a Mr. Rogers fact. Mister Rogers would narrate himself feeding the fish each episode with 'I’m feeding the fish' because of a letter he received from a young blind girl who was worried the fish were hungry. [/quote]
