Chords for Les Claypool performs at Rush's Hall of Fame ceremony

This artist has pushed the boundaries of contemporary songwriting and instrumentation through his fame-band Primus,
and now through his solo work.
Here to perform Rush's inducted song, The Spirit of Radio, is Les Claypool! _ _ _
_ _ Hello there. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ During my career, I've had the pleasure to be able to meet a good number of my musical heroes. _
And sometimes that's a very pleasant experience, and sometimes it's not such a pleasant experience. _ _
But if you'd have told me when I was 16 years old that I would be friends with the guys in Rush
and would be _ involved in an event such as this, I probably would have soiled myself. _ _ _ _ _
And I know we talk about Rush, Neil, Geddy, and Alex as _ songwriters and great musicians,
but I _ would like to let all the Rush fans know, as a Rush fan,
that they're actually also really great guys.
And, _ you know, they're _ _ _ _ intelligent, _ _ they're humorous, _ _ they're family men,
they're just good human beings, and I'm glad they're on this planet.
_ _ _ _ And I'll also add that _ _ it's very nice to see _ _ good guys not come in last all the time.
_ _ _ _ On that note, here we go. _ FAMLL. _
