Neil Elwood Peart 1952-2020


Some late night in the early 80's I came across this video(shown above) and was blown away. It was unlike anything I'd heard. The music was intense and graphics high tech(at least at time,lol). It was at the moment I became a Rush fan for life. It was not your normal pop/rock music that was about boy/girl stuff or rocking all night long. It was also intense and took you along a journey you could get lost in the music awhile. It was perfect for stress relief. The album "Moving Pictures" that has this song has always been one of all time favorites. 

I later learned Neil was a private and introverted. He often shunned the limelight. He was also very well read was chief songwriter for band. He was an intense perfectionist about his craft and took it very seriously. 

Thank you Neil for the many years of music and joy you brought to the world thru your music and life.
