The INCREDIBLE Neil Peart joined RUSH July 1974. He was 21 years old
For over 40 years he provided the drum beats & lyrics for RUSH
We lost Neil 4 years ago today
“The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect. So hard to earn, so easily burned.”

Stunned by the news of Neil Peart’s death.

There will never be another “Professor” of the kit & lyricist like Neil Peart.

End of work trip in Edmonton last night going 30 Kmph looked in rear view to see car flying at me 150-200 kmph.
They blew out the back of my Kona & driver jumped into another car and fled.
They were street racing.

My father, Bob Smith, passed away today.
Surprisingly high PSA levels in November, gone in 8 weeks.
An elite trumpet player, poker player, loved his sports & music.
Lived on a beautiful property in Brome Lake, Quebec.
This is a very tough one, you only get one dad ❤️

Fully agree.

Skip’s take is hard to watch Rex.
