stonge Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Thank you. A pair of Rush dvds arrived today, and that article places them in context. Ride on Ghost Rider... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie G. Moseley Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Tremendous writing. That's the way a memorial profile should be done, IMO---well-researched, lotta quotes, and it stays cohesive and doesn't ramble in spite of its length. Personally, I wouldn't have used first person but that only happened a couple of times so I don't want to seem like I'm nitpicking....and maybe Hiatt's a regular contributor to Rolling Stone so he might be entitled to first person. Thanks for the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt L Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I liked the anecdote about Neil’s memorial service when Stewart Copeland (IIRC) told all the famous drummers in attendance “we’ve all had fans come up to tell us “”You’re my second-favorite drummer!”” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Chicken Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I’d like to know what Olivia’s drum teacher is thinking with Neil in the next room “listening”. That’s a gutsy dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialk Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Thanks for the link! I had to bookmark it until I found the time to read it. Recommended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew816 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 That is the best tribute article I've ever read; full stop. Hard to see him go, and to have his well earned retirement and new life taken after all he'd been through is just cruel. I've seen them a few times over the years, but to see them do Moving Pictures during the Clockwork Angels tour was by far one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. He is missed and well remembered.

Jakeboy Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 A most excellent read. I will have to revisit some Rush....my fave album is the oft-dismissed blues-rock debut without Peart. I have never been able to stand prog-rock....2112 made me sleepy. But in Peart’s honor I will revisit the discography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
