Or Their Everyone Some Sad News To

report here? Neil Peart the astonishing drummer the progressive rock band Rush has passed away. He was suffering from brain cancer for the past three years. It was kept as a secret. He was a very private person. He despised Fame and publicity, but it has just been announced by his band members that he has in fact passed away and what I wanted to do here.

You Know I Know Many Of You

know that I had a bit of a career in music before I turn to classical education and the analysis of politics and culture and I was a huge huge fan of Neil Peart as is my wife by the way in fact, one of our joys as parents was turning our kids onto the music of Russian. So all of our kids are big fans as well but as a tip of the hat to my time in music. I wanted to give a tribute to Neil Peart and give you a sense of who he was and what he meant to me as a fan of his and I’ll never forget where it all began back when I was a young lad in Connecticut young teen hanging out with my friend in his bedroom My dear Buddy Rob, Justo who I still keep in contact with through Facebook God Bless you Rob love you man and Rob and I we were hanging out and Rob said something like this You know dude you got to hear this band and if I recall Rob play he was playing keyboards at the time and he came across this band rush and so he played for me. I think. It was Tom Sawyer on his record player and I was like I’ve never heard anything you remotely like this before and so began nearly a 40-year listening relationship with this band and with this amazing drummer, but that really just scratches the surface of who This man Neil Peart was which I came to appreciate only later in life.

He Was Not Only One Of The Greatest

most proficient percussionists of all time. I think it’s best to think of Neil Peart really as your quintessential Renaissance man. He was not just a magnificent musician, one of the single greatest drummers of our lifetime. He was also an astonishing poet and a profound thinker who had a deep sand of the magnanimity of life as Bradley Bert’s over at the imagine Conservative wrote Neil Peart had such a wide swath of intellectual interest that he could comment profoundly on. Anything like we see in the book entitled Near and Far that’s UK book he made observations on everything from politics to religion to pop culture to fashion to architecture to serious philosophy all the way to current understandings of evolution.

Besides Being A Lyricist.

He was an author both nonfiction as well as fiction. 2012 he published an epic of rock music entitled Clockwork Angels with science fiction writer Kevin Anderson as well as a sequel to that entitled Clockwork Lives and their books likened to nothing short of a Chester Toni and Fairy tale and beautiful one at that but of course he’ll always be known as the drummer of the Canadian superstar band Rush Neil Peart himself was born in Ontario, Canada back in 1952. He dropped out of high school, even though he was what it was widely recognised that you would never see him without. His nose in a book he loved history and philosophy and music.

He Was Obviously Incredibly Bored In School

end up joining Rush in 1974 just before the first American tour, and he was responsible for running almost all of their lyrics, and they were certainly the most profound lyrics that anyone in rock could ever possibly encounter. I remember as a team just trying to figure out what on earth he was saying it was beyond me now you may be interested to know that Neil Peart considered himself politically a libertarian and then he had an intense interest in the works of libertarian philosopher Iron Ayan Rand, which he credited as the inspiration behind Russia‘s breakthrough album 2112. It was of course to be the first of what would go on to be 10 platinum albums that vaulted them to musical stardom and you know it’s been pointed. Out that Russia’s music has always appealed to a rather conservative libertarian audience. Rush was never ever interested in the whole you know sex, drugs and rock and roll stuff.

So While Motley Crue Was Out There Appealing

to the cool kids and encouraging girls to dress rather skimpy and the like rush was appealing to an audience that could appreciate such profound yet very immediate concepts, such as the effects of social strata and school settings like in their song subdivisions or songs dealing with the Cold War, nuclear standoff or songs like the song Heresy where Pert addresses the fall of the Berlin Wall Rush wasn’t interested in anything even remotely resembling the nonsense that we see coming from the unthinking knee-jerk liberalism and political correctness that characterizes so much of today’s pop culture and that’s largely because they had a philosophical imagination that left such left-wing tripe. parochial and at the heart of that philosophical imagination was Neil Peart, an imagination that has enriched the lives of tens of millions of people around the world. Now his own life saw a share of tragedy. You know.

He Lost His Daughter Selena In 1997

in a car accident and then just a year later, he lost his wife to cancer and those losses drove him to a self–imposed exile someone put it he traveled alone by motorcycle across North and Central America for over a year and then wrote a memoir entitled Ghost Rider about his observations. During that year he did eventually remarry reunited with his bands as well Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson did three more world tours together and those tours were greeted with the highest of fanfare from none other than bands like Metallica, perhaps the greatest metal band of all time Metallica paid. Russia’s the single greatest progressive rock band ever Bar None, which of course was recognized with their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. Neil Peart for Me was a life-exemptive of excellence in all that he did whether it was music poetry philosophy where as I understand it even as a husband as a there.

Whatever He Did He Did It With A

sense of virtuosity that is the essence and the epitome of human flourishing. He will be sorely missed. He leaves behind his wife, a young daughter and tens of millions of fans who are profoundly grateful for how he has touched their lives with his own extraordinary and remarkable gifts Rest in peace Dear brother may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
