Perchance to Dream

Neil would be embarrassed and, I think, touched deeply if he knew the true "measure of respect" he has earned. A measure beyond measure.

 

This is still nearly as raw and staggering as it was eight days ago.

Completely agree.

 

I'm still in the state of "I can't believe it."

 

Damn.....

I am not a Satanist. Ask my mom!

I didn't cry. Honestly, I was in shock.

 

I'm still there.

Watched my bootleg copy/video of Rush at the Hollywood Bowl. Snakes and Arrows tour. At one point, Alex gives the slash across the throat gesture.

 

Apparently something went wrong.

What a stupid asshole!!

Yeah...for me, this comes across as "look at me!"

 

Not cool.

My buddy caught a broken stick that Neil threw out to the audience in Oakland, CA during the Roll the Bones tour. He had it ripped out of his hands.

I remember that in the mid to late 80s, the rumor was that Geddy had throat cancer and that is why he wasn't singing so high anymore.

From Rush is a band...late 2018

That picture breaks my heart.

As a kid, I delivered The Seattle Post Intelligecer via bicycle. My handlebars were loaded with newspapers. I remember riding my bicycle in the early morning while listening to Signala on my knock off walkman.

 

Nice!

 

I remember my mom drove me to Rainbow Records when "Signals" came out. I ran in and bought the cassette.

When I got home I raced into my bedroom and put it on my little Pioneer stereo.

 

After the first listening I must confess I was upset. I was like... "Where the hell is the guitar?" "Neil's drumming is more basic!" I was so mad!

 

But then eventually I fell in love with the record.

The lyrics of Analog Kid hit me hard.

 

I was at that point in my life where I didn't know what to do with my future.

 

I figured it out.

As a kid, I delivered The Seattle Post Intelligecer via bicycle. My handlebars were loaded with newspapers. I remember riding my bicycle in the early morning while listening to Signala on my knock off walkman.

Nope. Not yet.

 

I've been listening to Porcupine Tree instead.

Exactly. Respect the privacy to everyone in the Rush family. I knew about Neil's brain tumor on November 2, 2019. I only told my father because he was at our office when I found out.

The only social media I am on is The Rush Forum. I despise social media except for this Forum.

In this day and age where there is no privacy and no respect to others personal lives there was no way in Hell I would say a word to anyone.

 

I love you Neil Peart. Rest In Peace,

 

How do you know Neil/his family/Rush extended, if I might ask (and I realize the contradiction given this particular thread, so I understand if you decline to answer)? I'm very sorry for your personal loss and the roller coaster you've been on (per your posts).

Legit question.

 

I would like to know too.

Spirit of Radio during Packers/Seahawk game.

 

About time they changed it up.

This one. When I was a teenager, I had the inner sleeve of the Farewell to Kings LP pinned up on my bedroom wall. That image of Neil was in it.

Limelight for Packers/Seahawks game.

Limelight just played during Chiefs/Texans game.

 

Just now heard that!

 

Only Rush music I’ve heard since Neil passed. I just can’t do it yet, myself.

I'm right there with you. I just can't do it yet.

Limelight just played during Chiefs/Texans game.

Still in a state of shock.

 

Watched the recent video of "The Camera Eye" on YouTube.

 

The drums are incredible....

Amazing. I hope so.

 

Just as long as it's not the Niners. But I'm sure it will be.....................

The Vikings were pathetic today.

 

Go Niners!

F**k Rolling Stone. They managed to dump on Rush for decades until the fans called them out.

Tom Sawyer going into commercial during AFC game.

Caught that as well.

 

Made happy and sad at the same time.

Lump in throat.

 

Damn...it's dusty in here.

and the trees were all kept equal

 

by hatchet, axe and saw......

Condolences to the Peart family, bandmates, friends and fans.

 

A sad day, indeed.

 

RIP Neil Peart
