R.I.P. Neil Peart
Well. I had planned to write about something completely different today. But life doesn't care what I had planned. Today the world learned that Neil Peart, legendary drummer and lyracist of Rush had passed away on January 7th of brain cancer. For me personally this is devastating. When I first expressed an interest in playing drums my father introduced me to Rush. Basically saying you don't get to be a drummer without looking up to this guy. He was absolutely correct. The Professor got his nickname for a reason. No drummer worth a damn doesn't count him amongst their influences. I imagine few musicians do. I'm not usually all that shook up over celebrity deaths. Musicians are the only ones that ever get to me and even then it's not usually that bad. The Rev got to me. So did Chester Bennington. But otherwise I may feel a pinch of sadness and reflect a little on what these guys and gals mean to me. That's usually it. It's different today ...
