Rush enters the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this Spring, and you can say, "Congratulations!" Rush plays the Bridgestone, May 1st, and tickets are on sale this Monday morning. 

I have FREE ones today for the ride home at 3p!

I hear stories all the time from folks who have seen Rush all over the country.  For almost 40 years, Rush has been doing what they want.  They are a great testament to knowing your vision, and sticking to it.

I've grown up playing those Neil Peart air drums as I listen, and Neil's story has some dark turns.  July 4th, 1997, Neil Peart's daughter was killed in a car wreck.  Within a year, Neil also lost his wife to cancer. 

Neil's form of grieving was to take off on his motorcycle.  He pounded the road all over North and Central America.  The end result was a book.

"Ghost Rider: Travels on a Healing Road."

How would you overcome that tragedy?!  Neil has always been an isolated person.  When you meet Rush, you meet Geddy and Alex.  It's a great read on how he goes even deeper into loneliness and despair in order to hit the wall of returning to life.  Get the book.  Neil has about 4 other books out as well.  Get yours! 

You might have passed Neil Peart on the road.  A lot to times, he jumps on the motorcycle and meets the band at a gig.  Check it out. 

Another favorite thing I love about Neil Peart , is his love of great jazz drumming.  There's no harder form of playing for a drummer.  Of course, Neil is the sensei!

Neil Peart put out a cd, 'Burning for Buddy.'  It's a tribute to one of his mentors, Buddy Rich.   

One of the greatest, eclectic drummers of all time:  Neil Peart.
