Cool! Now we can legitimately call Neil the Professor.
I wish I had time to go and see Geddy wearing a cap and gown.

Can a band be awarded a degree? Surely a degree can only be awarded to one or more individuals?
Here's the blurb, for those who didn't read the link (I meant to do this in the first place)
" Rush, the iconic Canadian rock band comprised of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart, has celebrated more than 40 years of making amazing music together, achieving worldwide album sales in excess of $40 million. Rush ranks third in sales after The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and has produced 24 gold, 14 platinum and three multi-platinum albums while being active in philanthropic causes as a group and as individuals. The band has received seven Grammy award nominations and won several Juno Awards. In 1994, Rush was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and in 1996, band members were made Officers of the Order of Canada. In 2012, the band won the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards for Lifetime Artistic Achievement and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. Lee, Lifeson and Peart will receive Nipissing’s first honorary Doctor of Music, on June 12 at 2 p.m."

I would expect a more serious speech by Alex this time. Not that his R&R HOF one wasn't totally appropriate for that "honor."
"The White Zone is for loading and unloading only. If you got to load or unload go to the White Zone!"
I hope he gives the exact same speech.
