Everyone always talks about it when celebrities die in seeming waves, but we never talk when it's quiet. Doesn't it seem like we're in a lull of no-celebrity-death?

He was my favorite on DS9.  Also an accomplished actor outside of Trek.  He was in MASH, Brewster McCloud and McCabe & Mrs. Miller and that's just '70 and '71.  I'm sad to see him go.

Do the Right Thing is one of my favorite movies and I was already going to see it tonight at the Texas Theater for a 30th anniversary thing.  Crazy timing.  Aiello was always great.

My bedroom used to front our old farmhouse and in the summer I'd open both my windows and sit out on the tin roof of our porch with my guitar plugged into a halfstack and the hifi blaring. While I mostly played guitar back then, I had a bass and learned a couple songs - the first one I remember working on was Tom Sawyer. I don't remember a lot about my childhood, but warm summer days are always associated with that roof and Moving Pictures cranked to zomg.

Soon after, we got our first 'real' drummer (school trained) and he (to this day) only played Rush. He helped us write and perform our originals, which was a huge honor, but he really opened Rush's catalog to me and it was those years when I fell in love with the bass and simultaneously realized I would always be a frustrated drummer in my head. He taught me so much about playing drums and how music worked as we'd smoke weed and hang out at his house, breaking down Rush tracks and trying to learn them.

At house parties, I'd usually end up with the drummers down in a family room somewhere watching spliced VHS tapes of the drumming greats and there was No Question who was The Master. Everybody bowed down to Peart, metal guys, rock, blues, pop, country, everyone.

And Neil was such a gentle and inquisitive mind. As a young dork, I connected with him at that level strongly, too. My singer was always rejecting my lyrics because they were too wordy and nerdy :D Neil's resilience and hungry mind were inspirational throughout my life, especially as we get older and the challenges become deeper and more poignant.

I'm thankful that I was able to drag the old lady out to see Rush play on the Moving Pictures tour a few years back. As I said, it was my memory of good summer days of youth. She never realized how much it was connected to her youth, as well...though she did get a bit weirded out as we got into the depths of fan tracks and the crowd all air drummed and went nuts, she said it was like being at a cult ritual.

Yes. The cult of Neil, Geddy and Alex. RIP to a true legend. He enters heaven bearing a gift beyond price, almost free.

I love music, but I am not a musician. Many years ago a buddy wanted me to transfer a VHS tape he had (probably bootleg) of Neil Peart demonstrating his techniques to DVD. It was incredible watching him show a drum riff, then "slow it down" so you could see the details of his moves. To my uneducated eye it still just looked like a flurry of motion and zoooooooom amazing music came out.

His legacy will live on, and he will be inspiring future musicians for many years to come.

I am so glad that I got to see Rush play live one time, even if it was for the Counterparts tour. That was one of the most amazing shows I've ever seen.
