Some of them are spot on observations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnify Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 this was a thead here.... 9 years ago http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?/topic/17369-cornelius-ellwood-peart/ I've seen that Cornelius thing a few times - but no official confirmation. I think it's a fabricated web-legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I could see that being his "official" name and Neil being the derivation of it...BITD people used those "kinds" of names.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony R Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 I have never seen it before in 40yrs of following the band. It doesn't mention it on Wikipedia either. I think bogus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 ... I would think that if his parents felt "Ellwood" fitting, "Cornelius" is not out of the question 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I've never heard of John Ellwood Taylor or Cornelius before. I think the Ellwood Taylor thing is from one of his books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkingAllTheTime Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I think I might go over to SOCN and start a thread demanding Neil produce his birth certificate to prove he is *actually* Canadian. While I am at it, I will see about demanding he produce his curriculum vitae to prove he is *actually* a professor. Hell, based upon some of the talk in the forum, maybe I should just demand he produce a blood sample to prove he is *actually* human. PS I have seen Ellwood as his middle name before. Obviously not verified. Somehow, though, Cornelius as the birth first name seems fitting. I hope it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 http://i.ytimg.com/vi/l3Ks19MpkIo/hqdefault.jpg You also have to factor in "Yukon Blade Grinder" to this "Cornelius" equation.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
