It has been a few days, so technically not today, but I've been busy. I'm working toward my private pilot license and I flew my first solo in Monday! The ceiling was a little low but the winds were calm. :dweez:

I was at that show! :haz: Geddy's side toward the back. It is one of my greatest Rush memories. I remember the sky as the sun went down and they played Resist, back when they did it as a three piece. The lighting with the Columbia River in the background is an indelible memory. I lost my mind when they played 2112 and later too, just after I'd found it, for Natural Science What a night!

Today's variant Moving Pictures Signals Permanent Waves

For me, the lyrics don't need to evoke thoughts of passing or change. Today, his lyrics seem more ... crisp?. Just Rush lyrics before - now their observations from Neil. The one lyric sticking with me, and I have no idea why because I can't see how it relates to his passing: "Green and grey washes in the wispy white veil" - I don't know why The Camera Eye is really connecting with me over the past few days. I think it is his drumming (some of my favorite) And for some reason, Signals has never sounded so good.

Me too

I thought this was a nice article written by someone who sounds like a true fan. Yes, it is Rolling Stone magazine. I for one appreciate the irony. How Neil Peart’s Perfectionism Set Him Free The late drummer idolized Sixties wildmen like Keith Moon. But his path to the drumming pantheon came through obsessive order. https://https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/neil-peart-rush-drumming-tribute-936430/

That is a great tribute. There is some very click baity stuff out there and some really good stuff. This made me cry. Thanks Reb

The lyric that keeps sticking with me No one get to their heaven without a fight

I've been away from TRF for a few years but, like many others, I find myself drawn here seeking solace in the company of other TRF family members. I let my past grow too fast (as it were). The reality of his passing comes to me in waves and I hope and pray that his family can find some peace. The outpouring of respect for him has brought me to tears a few time as the world expresses what we have known all along.

I agree about Rising and Stargazer. :haz: Second for me though is Kill The King.
