http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/transcripts/peartridingthegoldenlion.htm "I learned that I would be sharing a room for the trip with a young guy named xxxxx, a Bronx New Yorker of about my own age who lives in London now, working for NBC Sports. Having myself just spent the whole summer in London working on the album, plus having spent a lot of time there in the past, we had a bit in common already. North Americans in London share many frustrations." I'm the guy who shared a room with Neil in 1985 and have a complete PDF file of the "Riding The Golden Lion". It is more of journal than a book. I've never shared it with anyone because I thought it as private. Now that he has passed and considering all the love expressed for him I was wondering if it is something people would like to read and even if it is appropriate to distribute. When we first met in at the start of the trip I didn't know who RUSH was. When we introduced ourselves he said he was a drummer with a rock band called RUSH. I said I think I've heard of it. My brother owns a bar in the Bronx. Have you played there? He said no, places like Madison Square Garden. I said I'm sorry I don't know the band. I think he like that I didn't know him and we never talked about the band, music or celebrity again. I can tell you that at the time he avoided being the center of attention. We would bike into closed Chinese Cities where people haven't seen westerners (no TV at the time). They would surround us and just watch. Neil would slip away to outside the crowd. Later in life he was hounded by rabid fans and he had to go into semi hiding when traveling etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So, here are the questions: Administrator - If I sent you the PDF file would you post it to your site so people could download it? Most importantly: Administrators/Members - is it proper to distribute this to the public? Would you like to read it?
