Was just listening to Rush on Accuradio and looked over and saw the caption that Neil Peart had passed away. Checked CNN and they have an article on this:
Neil Peart, whose virtuoso chops and artful lyrics propelled his band Rush to global stardom and sealed his place as one of the greatest drummers in rock music, has died, according to a family spokesman. He was 67.
Peart died in Santa Monica, California, on Tuesday after a battling brain cancer for several years, the spokesman, Elliot Mintz, told CNN.
I could not find a Peart or Rush image in the blog area here to include, so just added the Canadian flag in heart shape image.
Truly a sad loss to those of us who loved the music of Rush over the years. First concert I ever saw was Rush (with Gary Moore opening).
So many great songs, but how can you not love Tom Sawyer. Thanks to Neil, Geddy and Alex for the great music!!!!
