Suddenly, you were gone, from all the lives you left your mark upon. I remember ...
Remembering Neil Peart, on the 5th anniversary of his untimely departure.
tonight, on 21/12, the most holiest of Rush holidays ( along with the day Neil joined the band ), spouse was watching a Librarians movie where they make a journey to see Geddy
Tragic that they would misspell his name in a movie about librarians
They're also confused as Neil is the one famous for visiting Africa
Luckily we have the music :)
Presto is 35 years old tomorrow. Somehow this seriously hurts my feelings. #Rush #RushIsABand
A week from tonight Freewill celebrates 30 years of tribute to Rush
Freewill puts on a great show so we can enjoy the music
Looking forward to seeing the concert and lots of friends!
The show is in Tempe, AZ

Wearing my A Farewell To Kings shirt on this, the election day to hopefully finally rid us of the despot wannabe
Listeing to Red Sector A as a warning, then New World Man and Closer to the Heart for some hope
and finally I Think I'm Going Bald for a humourous reality check :)
Freewill, The #RUSH Experience, is celebrating 30 years with a concert in #Tempe #Arizona

#Freewill is a great #TributeBand I've seen many times before
The band members are true fans of Rush, you have to be to practice as hard as they do
Recently they also gave a shoutout for Craig Maloney before he passed, so thanks to them for helping with #RushForCraig
Dream: Rush was playing at a small sports bar. They were playing at a very low volume to where one could have a conversation over the music. I was standing close to the stage and could see Geddy clearly. He was wearing a white, what appeared to be a cheerleader outfit, and he was quite short. Alex was at the back of the stage playing a very small instrument, a cross between a mandolin and a violin and played with a bow. I was surprised because I didn’t know he played violin. #dreams #rush #RushIsABand

@futurebird didn't realize The Church is still around making new music, thanks!
Billy Thorpe is probably obscure

#Rush is probably not so obscure

Well, I've finally finished it (I've had it since Xmas). Geddy Lee's "My Effin' Life" is an emotional ”Big One” of a ride. I laughed (a lot, mainly at #Lerxst), cried (some passages are really tough) but, more importantly, celebrated this fantastic journey that, more than anything, encompassed the Canadian trio that was #Rush, and why I fell in love with them in the first place, way back in 1977. The memories evoked by reading about the albums in order, throwing me back to the times when I'd eagerly leg it to the shops to buy them on release day.... AND I still play them. Damn, this book even makes me want to join a band again. Anyone need a really steady, 60yo bass player in the #Tameside area? I'm no #Dirk but I can hold it down. Effin' loved this book. Mint. 10/10
So, it turns out Lakeside Park is not far from the northern side of Niagara Falls

Listening to Clockwork Angels on a headset. There's so much going on. I had forgotten the rocktitude of this album

We've been doing it somewhat wrong, #CraigMaloney was choosing albums randomly
Per XKCD documentation, the random number is 4, so next week we'll have #ClockworkAngels
There are 3 clockwork books:

The boys interview radio royalty, media historian, & early #RushIsABand champion, Dr. Donna Halper about her experience as a key contributor to the glory days of Cleveland’s pioneering rock radio giant, WMMS. In addition, the boys continue their quest to determine if Cleveland killed rock ‘n roll by conducting an autopsy on the corpse of the Michael Stanley Band’s 1980 heartland hit, He Can’t Love You #cleveland https://open.spotify.com/episode/6nMt0RODB4qiAzcgoxxsGN?si=VVUMjn_HQY2va6EeVjK-pg
This week, my son asked "What Rush album should I start listening to first?" So proud. #RushIsABand #ProudDad
