The last entry Neil made was in May of 2016. Obviously we were all hoping for additional entries, but at least we can now go back and reminisce.

 

Enjoy-

Thank you for this.

Thanks so much, John. What a great legacy for Neil to leave behind.

Happy to see that, was wondering what might happen to the original site.

Here's another thanks, as I found most of his writings to be enjoyable.

Thanks John! Much appreciated! :cheers:

Thanks.

 

Neil posted 4 to 7 times every year from 2006 until the middle of 2016 (posting 6 times in 9 months after Rush stopped touring).

 

And then there was nothing.

 

In retrospect, it was obvious something was wrong.

Agreed.

 

My hunch is that Neil kept a journal or personal blog of his battle with brain cancer over the 3.5 years. He was such an avid and gifted writer that seemed to have a passion for it. I’d be surprised if there’s not something. Whether it’s ever made public in any form is another story....

Hard to say. This type of cancer can and does affect speech and motor function. Also given there’s a pretty clear lifespan after diagnosis I suspect he spent as much time as he could doing what he loved with the people he loved.

Thank you!! More than ever we need a place to archive all of the memories.

I bet your right. I'm sure he wrote a lot especially for his daughter.
