Rush drummer Neil Peart has passed

[iego]

I was introduced to Rush (among others) in one of my best friend's basement here in Denver when I moved here in 1980'ish. Playing pool, smoking umm, something, listening to albums, etc. Over the years I was lucky enough to see them multiple times at Red Rocks, Fiddler's Green, etc. I loved that many of their songs have influences from Ayn Rand, etc. Fabulous music, fabulous band.

The first time I listened to 2112 (the album, including B side), on head-phones, was just mind blowing.

RIP
