This is a big loss for me. I can tell you exactly where I was and who I was with the first time I heard a Rush song - and they are hands down my favorite band of all time.
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

Peart was unique and his solos were epic. I'm 57 and I remember when that "2012" album came out. stayed on my turn table for a while.
Peart was also a political conservative who contributed a lot of lyrics to Rush. he was a Big fan of Ayn Rand and if you wanna great example, listen with the lyrics of "Trees".
"Spirit of Radio" was one of my favorites from them that addresses the unfairness of the music business.
"Temples of Syrinks" , "In the Mood" , and Neil's epic solo on "Working Man"

One of my favorite bands.

I had already been listening to 2112 and Moving Pictures essentially on repeat for the last few weeks. And then this happens. I will forever regret not having a chance to see them live.
All Aboard and Soft Landings!

I know I saw them at least once. I know it kicked ass and that's about all I know. Found out on the radio today that his last name is pronounced "Peert" and not "purt" FYI
the aerial view of his drum set was epic. dude had lots of fun toys. One of if not the GOAT.
