  1. I fully went into my R40 show expecting this to be the very final show I'll ever see from them. I was seeing my favorite band go out on top. I even bought Neil's R40 travel book, Far and Wide and went to see Geddy & Alex do an interview/signing at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2019, but that more just felt like an epilogue. Following Neil's death, that stung quite a bit especially with the 1-2 punch of COVID and a crisis in my personal life almost immediately after. His death caused me to return to their music after a bit of a hiatus and made me appreciate his words and his talent behind the kit even more. Geddy's book just feels like an additional epilogue to a book i closed long ago. It's a great read and I'm grateful that he released such a detailed retelling of his life and time in the band, even if he could have given us another 200 pages. It gave me a better understanding of how much he and the others truly busted their asses to make it and the sacrifices that came with his level of fame. And again, after not listening to Rush for a long while, I burned through the entire discography (studio and live) as I read through the book. This band remains my absolute favorite even if my listening wanes every now and then. It just hits harder when I return to it after a long time away.
  2. Probably Escape From Reality atm. Something about that song hits right. I'm also a big fan of Panic Attack and Devil in Disguise.
  3. I've been slowly digesting Paradise Lost over the last few weeks. I mainly knew The Plague Within previously but I'm enjoying the others I've heard (Draconian Times, Medusa, Obsidian). It makes me want to dive back into Katatonia I got the EP a few years ago when the band did a signing for a hometown show. It's probably the sole EP in my entire collection and it always hits right when I crave a short burst of heavy music.

  14. At least he can still play well in his 70s:
  15. Homie sold his catalog to support his failed golf course. Without royalty checks coming in, he needs another way to pay the bills.
  16. Seeing him being this petty is part of the fun. It's a total spite band.
  17. Even KK was still full of energy in his 70s
  18. At least having a dog isn't nearly as expensive as having kids.
  19. Wasn't meant to. Life is good without an obligation too.
