It's been a few days - but I wanted to make sure we gave a good shout out to one of the world's greatest drummers and the soul of Rush.

There were lots of tributes, but enjoyed this one from the NYT:

I was lucky to see them for the first time on the final tour.

I really hate when someone I recognize and respect dies at such a young age <sigh> Sadly I never got to see him live, but I have always enjoyed listening to his efforts on their albums!! <g>

I've seen Rush three times over the years. One of my favorite groups. Limelight is my ringtone. a sadness to know he is gone

As a Canadian, it's like losing a part of something you felt was yours.
