I don't see why the technology behind the unholy Dio hologram couldn't be used to accomplish this in a sense.

It would be a strange experience for sure.

Unfortunately Geddy and Alex seem to have too much integrity to ever consider such a terrible idea.

In old age I've discovered the charms of Neil's favorite nightcap. Sigh. What wonderful gifts he left us.....

Neil’s death really kicked my ass into gear as far as music was concerned.

 

it definitely sparked something in me that made me say to myself “Time really is running out”

 

All these years and I’m still finding inspiration in the music and in the way he lived his life.

 

In a direct way his death gave me the confidence and helped me embrace being a musician - without embarrassment or self judgement.

 

and in not the way most would think which would be running willy-nilly into “just Playing Music“. The beautiful thing about Neil Peart was the underscoring of balance. Finding what works for you. Being proud of who you are and all your faults. Working through those things that set you back.

I have deliberately gone on many snowshoe treks to think about him, have a hot cup of tea in the forest, sit and watch birds and just take a pause. I loved his writing and his ideas.

 

Yup. It's hard to believe that six years have passed. But it's twice the time most of us knew nothing about his condition. How life passes by so quickly.

I am truly happy to be able to see (them) again and am very, very curious about the idea of paying tribute to Neil during the concerts.
