RIP Neil Peart. Rush drummer and lyricist dies at 67

[BeersOnMe (New Haven, CT, USA)]

SiriusXM has announced a limited time channel just for Rush to honor Neil Peart. Of course, Rush fans are demanding it to be a permanent channel and have started a petition to make it happen.

Pratt’s work speaks for itself.

NBC and CBS Sports both included Rush in the bumper rotation during their coverage of the NFL today. A nice gesture.

FOX did this too.

Neil’s hero was Keith Moon who along with Jon Bonham were (arguably) the 2 greatest drummers of all time. When Neil’s passing is combined with Ginger Baker’s in October and Hal Blaine’s in March, we lost a remarkable amount of drum talent in the last 10 months. If you agree with the Rolling Stones’s 100 Greatest Drummers of All Time list, Stuart Copeland is the only top 10 drummer left alive.
