That's shitty news.

Best ever.

 

Nobody knew he was sick, stunning.

 

Add Neil Peart

 

Damn good writer, too. Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road is a great read.

 

He died on the 7th, three days ago, very low key.

 

Damn. That one hurts. RIP Neil

 

In the car today they were playing a Rush song for tribute to Peart and they played Working Man, and the thought running through my head while listening and enjoying the song was that that was the only Rush album that Peart didn't appear on. They had a different drummer on their first album.

 

John Rutsey, and Geddy Lee was the lyricist, totally different band, without Peart there's no 2112.

 

21112 is a great album. But the meek shall inherit the earth

 

When I was a kid I had no idea there was a storyline behind 2112, or didn't understand it. When I learned about the storyline based on Ayn Rands philosphy about a future dystopian society, it blew me away. A society that's never heard about music, then they discover music intruments and songs from the past and have to go through the high priests, sounds like a N Korea.

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RIP Mr. Creosote!!!


Monty Python star Terry Jones dies at 77 after dementia diagnosis

Sad - I'm a HUGE Python fan. But probably for the best given his health.

 

Fixt it for ya.

 

Well played, sir. Well played........ I fart in your general direction.

 

Didn't another Monty Python actor not pass away recently?

 

Graham Chapman, but 1989 isn't recent. Gilliam, Cleese, Idle, and Palin are all alive and kicking in their late 70's - early 80's.

Edit: Just remembered Neil Innes passed away in late December. He wrote music for their albums in the 70's.

 

Let's add in Carol Cleveland and Connie Booth - also both still alive.
