He was a pure soul.

"Tobes" for sure, lol!!!!!! Honestly if Neil Peart's career as a musician had never happened for whatever reason, I bet he would have been able to make a career of authoring textbooks or working as an engineer. He had a brilliant mind. He used phrases very creatively, I never thought about the term "fawn eyed girl" from "The Analog Kid" because it didn't apply to my life really. Later I appreciated how perfectly placed the idea was in the song. //Just sharing.

Speaking truthfully (regarding Peart) if I had heard about any illness rumors anywhere I would have been in denial and refused to contemplate the obvious. Back on topic, when I want to cheer myself up I watch "Beyond The Lighted Stage" and bask in the legendary high points that Rush the band managed to hit over a storied career. We are all so lucky to have had them. God bless them all.

Speaking as a former employee for a very popular US chain of pizza restaurants- Eating the crust is a good move when the crust is a high quality dough. I don't eat the crusts of frozen pizzas if they're "knarly" or just unpalatable. There are quality differences in pizzas, a way to self- educate about the topic is to make pizza at home for dinner and learn each step. Will definitely illuminate anyone as to the inner working of a pizza parlor.

"Force Ten" from Hold Your Fire

I saw an El Camino today, that was cool. I live in a Snow Belt region so Camaros aren't super popular out here. Don't see them that often, to see 8 in one day.

An acquaintance of mine just passed away from complications of Covid 19. He was in very poor health for years and years before he got sick. It was his time to go, as the proverbial statement goes.

If this is true then why did they also do "Time Stand Still"? I found it to be boring and stopped watching it, whereas "Beyond The Lighted Stage" is easy to re-watch. Anyhow hope they'll still stay in the public eye.

Slightly funny, I got locked out of IG b/c they think I'm promoting products outside of their guidelines (I was not.) Never liked it anyhow.

I'm gonna go there and say he might have had some bit of wisdom regarding Rand Paul contracting Covid 19. I found his withering comments regarding Rand to be amusing (this was over the cease and desist notice for using "The Trees" at rallies.) Ugh I am sort of glad Peart happened to pass right before all this Pandemic started. Who knows what else might have happened in his world. He had enough tragedy for one lifetime.

It's not my cup of tea, but I'll be eternally grateful for them giving Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" a boost of exposure.

U2 Dated a music industry employee who was ALL ABOUT them, even though he said the Edge was not that great of a guy. Guy kind of inadvertently ruined their music for me. I know Bono has good intentions.

How cute! He'll be fine.

I had to turn down a chance to add to my Rush show count due to a serious family emergency. Hey I'm still a bit sad about it but we have decades worth of music to enjoy from The Holy Trinity.

I'd buy it and chug it while crying.

Neil would have gotten through any Covid 19 related life complications just fine, I think.

I guess the funnier revelation here is that Alex apparently is doing most of the band's social media presence. I'm old enough that it still blows my mind that artists that were God-like to me as a literal kid, are now reachable via electronic communication. There's a lot of junk on social media but it's super surreal to see how much the world has shrunk in terms of knowing things sooner, or seeing things more clearly.

Having a child at 57 years old, there was little chance that he would be around for these events. Neil's parents must be around 90 now, if he lived as long as them he very probably would be around for these events... The bottom line is 67 is way to young to go even though when it's your time, it's your time. I really thought Neil was getting healthier actually after the R40 Tour. Thought he was going to get in shape, ride his motorcycle and raise Olivia. It's very sad still. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about Neil. A man who gave so much to the world and ended up in a tragic reality. We typed about this before but man. Neil never saw Selena graduate college. Get a career. Fall in love. Get married. Hold a grandchild. Now Olivia will grow up and her father won't be able to see her blossom in life. Flat out sucks, but Neil's Legacy will carry on for all eternity. Life is definitely unfair.

I thought Neil looked a bit odd in his IG photos but chalked it up to blood pressure medication, not chemo. Let's remember the great things. Bless his heart.

The charges were dropped after a settlement. OJ was innocent too. I'm not taking that trolling bait. How terrible do you have to be to insult someone just because they died? Terrible. I have my reasons for finding this event too terribly sad to think about. You should consider going to charm school.

Money isn't everything in life. Just trust me on this.

It's so very tragic. BTW the rape allegations were proven to be unfounded. Just speaking as woman, his wife probably wouldn't have stuck with him if he really was a hardcore scumbag. Just very sad. I feel for his family.
