No. Please say it isn’t so. Rush is my all time favorite band. Absolutely love their music. He will be sorely missed. Way too young!

Some “celebrity” deaths hit you harder than others. This is a tough one for me. I wasn’t a huge Rush fan but I always really enjoyed their music. They were kind of like a good friend who is always there for you even if you don’t talk all that often. I was lucky enough to see Rush like a couple of times. Rest in Peace.

This is a fantastic book that Neil wrote about his travels after the loss of his daughter and his wife. For those of you who are long-distance motorcyclist, it’s a really excellent read.
He’s clearly very intelligent and well-read: he has an expansive vocabulary and it’s not nearly as weighty a tome as “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”
