Of course, having my teens as a beginning drummer in the 80s, worship of Neal Peart was a prerequisite. And while decidedly not a Rand-ian, I appreciate a band that can write songs about something intellectual that still rocks. My funniest Rush story... as a drummer I watched a lot of wanky drum videos over the years. The most amusing was the Tribute to Buddy Rich. Neal Peart played at it and was -- Terrible. The man just could not swing to save his life. Despite being (arguably, but only if you really feel like arguing) the best technical rock drummer on earth, you put him near Jazz and it all falls apart. It made me feel slightly better about the fact that I couldn't play one of those monster fills from "Tom Sawyer" even with a week of practice. Last time I saw them in concert was the Roll the Bones tour with Primus, which seemed like a strange pairing, but actually worked pretty well. Glad to see 10Zen back online, was wondering where you had gone to. Is the RUS show coming back ever? I share your pain, Steve, as an “in the closet” Rush Fan.
