Right? That brought tears to my eyes.
Honestly, I've had a hard time listening to Rush since Neil's passing. A couple days after he passed, I tried listening to some in the car and had to pull over because I started bawling like a damn baby. I still haven't processed this completely. I know Rush was done already. I thought maybe there would be an occasional reunion show for a good cause, and hopefully some new music at some point, but for all intents and purposes, they were retired. I'd come to terms with that. But this still feels like a knife in the gut. When I was a kid, my parents were worried that I obsessed too much about Rush. For a time I think around 1984-85, they literally were the only band I was listening to. Maybe they were right. But musical tastes expanded exponentially over the years, largely in part because of my love for them. I craved new and talented music. These days I listen to pretty much everything beside hip-hop/rap and country. But Rush is and always will be my go-to band. Sigh....
