  1. I don't watch much broadcast TV, so I didn't see this on the Junos award show on the weekend, but it's nice it's available online:

    My brother was a huge Rush fan from the time we were teenagers. I was more into other things, but I came to appreciate Rush a lot more over the (many) years since then. Geddy Lee famously commented after the death of drummer/lyricist Neil Peart that (inexact quote) "Neil was Rush; there is no Rush any more".

    But a few months back, five years after Neil's death, Geddy and guitarist Alex Lifeson announced they were having fun playing with a new drummer, a young woman named Anika Nilles, and planned a Rush tour in 2026. I wasn't aware they were playing at the Junos, but they sound pretty good together to me. My brother, of course, already has tickets to one of the dates on that tour.

    It must be somewhat incredible to be onstage, playing as part of a group that was putting out big albums a decade or more before you were born.

    Closer to the Heart

    Another post that I wish I never had to write, but we move on…

    On this day in 1977 , Rush finally through in the U.S.A., earning Gold records for ‘’2112’, All The World’s a Stage’ and ‘’A Farewell to Kings’.

    They never looked back.

    “And the men who hold high places
    Must be the ones who start
    To mold a new reality
    Closer to the heart”

  3. Hoy, hace justo 4 años, el 7 de enero de 2020, nos enteramos de la muerte de Neil Peart, baterista y letrista de la banda canadiense Rush. Un músico talentoso como pocos. Uno de los mejores bateristas en la historia de rock.
    Todos los que amamos el rock lo extrañamos y le agradecemos por tanto 🖤

  4. Una simpatica #cover di un brano e album che sono la storia del #RockProgressive (grazie #canada 🇨🇦 )

    Guest star è addirittura #MikePortnoy che esegue egregiamente (ma l'originale in studio ovviamente è inarrivabile) la parte del mai troppo compianto maestro #NeilPeart

    Da sottolineare che canta una donna (anche se ha un timbro simile, purtroppo non va benissimo, IMHO) e a tratti neanche lei ce la fa ad urlare alto come #GeddyLee 🤠

    Our ideas were more solid than our ability to play them! We had to raise our game: The lessons Rush learned from Hemispheres
    Often cited as the album that nearly broke them for good, Geddy Lee maintains the 1978 release found the trio too full of ideas to contemplate taking a rest
