episode 256: RIP Neil Peart
I hadn't really anticipated doing a scene show this month, but it turns out we lost one of the greatest drummers of all time, Neil Peart of Rush, a little over a week ago.
If you aren't familiar with the powerhouse that was Neil Peart, I spend over 3 hours giving you a tour-de-force of the tour-de-force they called The Professor.
In addition to being Rush's drummer, he was also their lyricist, writing so many incredible songs filled with sci-fi and fantasy imagery.
For 40 years, Neil Peart delighted and amazed audiences. If you aren't familiar with the band I describe as "the third most proggy band ever," or even if you're a die hard Rush fan slappin' da bass, hopefully you'll enjoy this overview of their career, and know how much we all miss Neil Peart.
