Union 5-3992 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 A feeling had been growing in me during these rides—a kind of “valedictory” sense of saying farewell. I didn’t imagine that my future life would allow that “the most excellent thing I can do today” would be plotting a leisurely route from Sandusky, Ohio, to Bloomington, Indiana. That constant revelation was a little bittersweet—but mostly sweet. I had made journeys like this many, many times before, and if this was to be the last time, I would appreciate it all the more.

EagleMoon Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I would imagine it would be a bit bitter sweet to think that you probably wouldn't be doing it ever again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I can understand his opinion. After doing something as physically and emotionally demanding for 40 years and going through what he went through after T4E, I bet he's happy to enjoy potential retirement. And a second chance at a family, I wouldn't want to let that go, either. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea he was so interested in traversing the path Scott May took 45 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Neil has posted BubbaGram #2, in which it seems pretty clear that Rush is done touring. http://www.neilpeart...dex.php?cID=283 That's my area of the country.

All this means is that they're going to spend the next five years touring Asia, Australia, Europe, and South America non-stop.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of truth to that on many levels. For fans who don't mind reading (!), Neil is probably the most accessible of the three. He actually gives his fans a lot more of a hint into his own thoughts, ideas, and behaviors through what he writes than Alex or Geddy ever really do in interviews. But... the old knock on Neil is that he's not personable because he's painfully shy to the point of probably being a jerk when faced with an awkward situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
