Lady Marmalade Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I would go so far as to say he might be the best of all time. So sad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaceyinLA Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 He was my husband’s favorite - always showed my son videos of him back when he was younger and they played music (drums/guitar) together out in the shop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Professor on the drum kit." That is how Geddy Lee introduced Neil Peart just before the Working Man solo. I am a lifelong Rush fan, and saw them in concert many times. The last time was 2011. I don't usually find myself emotional over celebrity deaths, but this one has hit me hard. I have probably listened to their All the World's a Stage live album more than I have listened to any other album ever. The 2010 documentary Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage is a good one. I learned a lot about Neil Peart in that documentary. He also wrote several books, but I haven't read any of them.

Penguin Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Most of Neil Peart's books are currently free on audible until January 28th. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
