rhiannonstoneRest in peace, Neil Peart.
I didn't expect to be near-Bowie levels of sad at this, but I am. My love of Rush has survived childhood trauma, terrible boyfriends, bad trips, getting over my "I'm not like other girls" phase, getting over my libertarian phase, losing my hearing for three days after forgetting my earplugs the first time we had front-row seats, an atrocious covers album, and a painful breakup. And so much of what I love about Rush is Neil.
I was grateful to be working from home today when I heard the news, so no one could see the brief tears, or complain about me putting 2112 on at top volume.
