What's new

Neil Peart has died

Fridays are Fishtastic!
While not exactly my cup of tea, he was one of the greatest drummers ever.
 
Of all the celebrity deaths in the last few years this one hits me the most. They were my favourite band since late grade school and for many years after. If I want to annoy my wife and daughter I blast some early Rush. They're going to get an earful of them tonight!

Like Zeppelin, I think Rush’s will stand the test of time. Turn it up loud.
 
Musically, I have always preferred lyrics to guitar riffs or whatever . . . Steve Harris of Iron Maiden is absolutely amazing for adapting various themes, stories, etc. to the heavy metal genre.

Neil Peart was LIGHT YEARS beyond Harris.
 
And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart

The blacksmith and the artist
Reflect it in their art
They forge their creativity
Closer to the heart
Yes closer to the heart

Philosophers and plowmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the heart
Yes closer to the heart, yeah,

oh
Whoa whoa
You can be the captain
And I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
Well closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
I said closer to the heart
Well closer to the heart
Closer to your heart

RIP to one of the greatest of all time. He played the beat of my teens.
