Rush – La Villa Strangiato Lyrics 6 years ago
Pratt...was a play on the various butcherings of my simple Anglo-Saxon surname, “Peert.” [It morphed] into Nels Pratt, then just Nels, which Alex and Liam usually called me, or Mr. P., as Geddy preferred.

Alex was usually “Lerxst,” which came from a long-ago, exaggerated pronunciation of his name as “Alerxt.”


[And] Geddy was commonly “Dirk,” which derived from an invented name for an archetypical rock bass player, or secret agent—Dirk Lee.
