I was there. Imagine seeing Neil Peart meeting and shaking hands with Charlie Watts right there from The Rolling Stones. The 2 greatest drummers in the WORLD. Then Rush breaks into such a strong but tasteful version of ‘Paint It Black’. Neil, playing Charlie’s song with such respect and effort. Such power from just 3 musicians. It made me so proud to be Canadian, to see our best band projecting to half a million people. I’ve kept the photo of Neil and Charlie shaking hands. Both the top of their class, and against all odds in the music industry- both are mild mannered and do not seek out fame. You have never heard of either of them in the news for outlandish behavior. And now - tragically, both have passed away. I count myself so lucky to have been here.

I was once driving in a city in the North of England, it was summer, got window down and I'm rockin Tom Sawyer at concert volume. Guy in car behind me in slow moving traffic, purposely cuts into the bus lane to my left, so he could pull up to my left window, to ask, who the hell is that? It's AWESOME, he was a young Indian /Asian guy. I told him, the song and the band, he thanked me and said, he's checking them straight out when he gets home. I was so proud, that hearing a Rush tune being blasted out, hearing the amazing drum fills and pure rhythmic punch, that it moved someone to have to have THAT band in their life. Yeah, I was proud to share Rush.

The overwhelming human tragedy in this is that a young daughter has lost her father, a wife has lost her husband, parents have lost their son and siblings have lost their brother. We grieve for our loss, but theirs is by far the greater. Neil Peart. What comes to mind? Integrity, honesty, loyalty, humility, compassion - all things that make a good human being. The talent was on loan from a higher power, but he had the spirit for that blessing to be bestowed upon him. Thank you Neil. Alex and Geddy, thank you for the opportunity you gave him to follow his passion. We are forever grateful.
