Man, that's sad. Family guy memorialized his iconic status for the younger folks in this hilarious clip:
When I was 13 lyrics were on scrolls"My cousin gave me some Rush CD’s when I was 13, I immediately was hooked on Neil’s playing. When I was 14, we went & saw him play on the Snakes & Arrows tour. I love that my entire social media is flooded with nothing but for Neil Peart. I’m glad he’s no longer in pain. Thank you for the inspiration man. Rest easy." - The World Alive's Handsome Luke Holland
Consider yourself lucky, young man. When I was 13, we didn't even have scrolls. We wrote our lyrics on cave walls!When I was 13 lyrics were on scrolls"My cousin gave me some Rush CD’s when I was 13, I immediately was hooked on Neil’s playing. When I was 14, we went & saw him play on the Snakes & Arrows tour. I love that my entire social media is flooded with nothing but for Neil Peart. I’m glad he’s no longer in pain.

Wow, great pic of the very young Neil, he looks like he's about 13 or 14 years old.
He was a true master of his instrument. The cool thing about him was he would change up the beat practically every measure, adding in unique fills that appear only once per song. He apparently would get bored if he played the same beat over and over again. He was awesome!i love drums! so i love Neil!

What the MSM should not omit from his obituaries:
Neil Peart absolutely despised socialism and considered himself a "bleeding heart libertarian."
A great profile on him in The Guardian
Rush: 'You have no freedom. You do what you’re told to do. By the socialists'
I knowi love drums! so i love Neil!
