Running Rebel Posted January 11, 2020 Author Posted January 11, 2020 Donna Harper thanked them for the mention on FB.
Running Rebel Posted January 11, 2020 Author Posted January 11, 2020 He was in many ways like an outsider — the guy who was often different from everyone else," Halper says. "But that was okay with him. He didn't want to be like everyone else. He just wanted to be Neil. He loved being a rock drummer, but he also loved literature. He loved poetry. He loved the outdoors. He didn't care what society thought a rock star was 'supposed to be' — he wasn't afraid to be himself, and he didn't really care about fame. He just wanted to be good at what he did — and he was! — and he just wanted to share his music with the fans." 3
