Great drummer. Among the best ever. Rush isn't a band I was ever seriously into, but I like most of their music. Allan Dan Penoff via Mercedes writes: > Bummer. Neil Peart of Rush passed on Tuesday of glioblastoma. > > I was lucky enough to meet him a few times while working a number of their

Here is one BMWMOA News article. http://neilpeart.net/files/5113/5307/9661/bmw.pdf There is a more recent one also.    While the band traveled by bus, he rode to the next destination on the BMW, often overland, if there were not too many fences in the way. Dan Penoff via Mercedes

If I recall, and it’s been some time, he transited Central America and nearly all of South America in the book, right? Pretty much just riding the bike and relying on the kindness of strangers. -D > On Jan 11, 2020, at 3:01 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > > I read the book too,

Re: [MBZ] OT - RIP - Neal Peart

I read the book too, many years ago. From what I can recall, the part of the story that surprises me is that he'd sell the BMW, fly home and buy another. Unless that was a plan he came up with for the one that broke down on him. Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: From reading his book and some

Re: [MBZ] OT - RIP - Neal Peart

From reading his book and some of the stories he wrote, I’m not surprised. The book he wrote about his travels when he bailed after his first wife and daughter were killed sounds like much the same as this. -D > On Jan 11, 2020, at 2:52 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > wrote: > > cool

I should add that when Alex did this he was alleged to have a paper bag over his head with a face drawn on it. This apparently pissed off the guys in Kiss and also cause their groupies to flee. -D stories from the road > On Jan 10, 2020, at 7:43 PM, dan--- via Mercedes > wrote: > > Yeah,

Re: [MBZ] OT - RIP - Neal Peart

Yeah, the whole story about him just taking off after their deaths is really sad. Apparently, Geddy and Alex heard little from him the whole time and were really concerned about the band ever getting back together. I heard some really wild stories about them from their crew about when they

Bummer. Neil Peart of Rush passed on Tuesday of glioblastoma. I was lucky enough to meet him a few times while working a number of their tours through the midwest from 1978-1982. Everyone in the band was really nice, and very kind to the crew. Fly by night, Neil! -D
