Presto-digitation Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Yes, I have zero doubt he will be in their In Memoriam.
Principled Man Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Yes, I have zero doubt he will be in their In Memoriam. But the large majority of people in the building will probably not know who he is. 1

librarian Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Speaking of television. I just emailed Viacom and asked why there is nothing on MTV or Classics, like a Rush Day or something, one day is all i ask. I would be thankful to see respect for the man and the band out there - soothe some unresolved feelings out there for fans such as myself. Grrrrrrrr....
BasqueNYC Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 f**k the Grammys as for Neil I’m sure he wouldn’t want any picture or mention which is fine by me. 1
Fordgalaxy Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Not sure if anyone mentioned it but I did here Tom Sawyer going to commercial during the Niners/Vikings game today. No accident I'm guessing... There were several Rush tunes going into commercials during the games yesterday. Glad someone in the production area was paying attention. 1
Rushian King Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 He might get his pic or a small vid clip (whatever they do at such events) but it wouldn't surprise me if he's skipped over completely. Anyone expecting anything else on the main show is out of touch with reality. He might get something more in the untelevised part but I highly doubt that too.

He will be in their In Memoriam with other industry folks who have passed. Guarantee it. It likely will be nothing more than that though.

He means more to many of us, but no need to highlight him further for the rest of the world.
goose Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Limelight got played during the Chiefs-Texans game. A nice tribute. 1
ctbadger Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 I certainly have no interest in watching. Hopefully, he'll be mentioned on CBS Sunday Morning, a show actually worth watching. All they did was post a 20 second spot going into commercial featuring a couple of pictures while playing the end of Limelight. They gave a two minute tribute to Buck Henry.
RushFanForever Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 From the Los Angeles Times. Neil Peart, drummer for Rush, dies at 67 “He was a rare breed: For starters, how many drummers played drums and wrote lyrics?” asked Robert Santelli, founding executive director of the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles and coauthor, with E Street Band drummer Max Weinberg, of the 2004 book “The Big Beat: Conversations with Rock’s Greatest Drummers.” “Neil was a very sophisticated, literate drummer whose lyrics were as unique and definitive as his drum style,” Santelli said. “He represented an era in rock ’n’ roll when complexity, sophistication and highly expressive, very mature playing with commitment to detail was what it was all about. The right drummer with the right band is always crucial, and he was exactly the right drummer for what Rush’s music needed.” 1
GeminiRising79 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Grammys coming up Sunday Jan 26th You think theres a chance in hell they'll respectfully mention anything about Neil's death? Hope not. The Grammys have become such a tremendous sh!t-show it would be offensive. 3
HemiBeers Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Grammys are not the time or place. I can't remember the last time I watched or cared about them. The last thing on Neil's mind when writing a song is whether he would get a f***ing mini statue for it.
ReRushed Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 The Grammys acknowledging Rush would be... insincere. 2
Rick N. Backer Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 I think many of the musicians will mention him as having passed and having been a huge influence on them.
EmotionDetector Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 I don't think the Grammy's will offer much...but I am hopeful that the JUNO'S in March will put forth a sincere video package or something honouring him (even though I personally cannot stand any of these award shows). 2
RushFanForever Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) I found the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards program book posted here. Neil gets a mention in the 'In Memoriam' section. Edited January 22, 2020 by RushFanForever 1
Drum Knight Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 The Grammys are a joke and didn't have the time or decency to honour Rush while Neil Peart was alive and I have no confidence that the Grammys will carve out precious air time to honour a true musical and literary genius like Neil now because, in their eyes, they need to preserve that air time for lip-synching clowns who have never held a musical instrument (mic drop). 9

The fact is they acknowledge most of the industry folks who pass away, including producers and engineers and session players too, none of which they honor on any kind of regular basis. 3
Krystal Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) I doubt they will mention Neil at the Grammys. They will probably show his face for 2 seconds when they do their In Memoriam spiel and that's about it. It is the Grammys after all. They never cared about Neil or any of the other members of Rush while they were all alive. Why would they give a crap now? I don't really care about the Grammys anymore. This is the same group of idiots who nominated Lizzo for an award and never handed out a trophy to Queen, The Who or Jimi Hendrix. They're a JOKE!! Edited January 25, 2020 by Krystal
Phantom Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Much like I don't think Rush concerned themselves with the years of omission from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I suspect they aren't concerned with Grammy recognition or omission. That said, I'd expect the Grammys will include his name among those who passed. Edited January 25, 2020 by Phantom
