R.I.P. Neil Peart



Rush, "La Villa Strangiato" live

Sure, the Ayn Rand stuff early on was a bit much but who hasn't been in their early 20's before?

Objectively speaking, Neil Peart took the modern trap kit (bells and whistles and all) as far as possible in the context of rock music.

More personally, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in the music or larger entertainment industry who ever had anything bad to say about him, and his life was far from easy.

Fuck cancer, and long live musical geniuses, weirdos, and misfits.  Long live "over-doing it" once in a while.  Long live choice moments of excess.
