Sad. Even sadder that his family suffered through so much tragedy. RIP

I was fortunate to see them live 3 times. The highlight was always Pearts drum solo. What a loss for music.....

I've been passing this around to my friends since the news broke. Fucking sucks. All my music heroes are dying Tremendous music talent. Geddy & Alex talked about Neil like the professor of their music. “ I still vividly remember my first listen of 2112 when I was young. It was the first time I really listened to a drummer. And since that day, music has never been the same. His power, precision, and composition was incomparable. He was called ‘The Professor’ for a reason: We all learned...

I've got no problem admitting that I wept like a little girl for about thirty minutes when I saw the Rolling Stone post on Facebook. I've been a Rush fan since I was ten years old, and within a couple of years, I was an absolute fanatic. Moving Pictures grabbed me, and my lifelong love of Rush was truly born. Though I never met Neil Peart, I felt like a close friend died. His passing would have been an absolute gut punch even if I'd had time to prepare for that inevitable dark day. But we...

I was very fortunate to see Rush in Milwaukee and I wasn't a fan them until I saw the concert. Rush was a huge part of my life musically since then. Lambeausouth, we won't see the likes of them again. The classic rock we grew up with is no longer being made and that is sad to me.

Hemispheres was 1st Rush album I bought but I spent many teenage hours cranking All The Worlds a Stage - live. Saw them live in Madison 1980. Long show! My favorite discovery watching documentary of last Rush tour was that Neil traveled by motorcycle with a few crew members. Preferred that to sitting on a bus, in an airport, on a plane etc. Motorcycles made tour travel enjoyable for him.

I guess it’s now just hitting me after 24 hours of knowing. Finally had the courage to put on some Rush (The Garden). Tears are now flowing. The future disappears into memory With only a moment between Forever dwells in that moment Hope is what remains to be seen... The spirit ever lingers

Re: Gregg Allman dies at 69
You're right; Duane already died in his motorcycle accident, didn't he? (x4 wasn't around back then for me to report on his death.)

He was a great player....Statesboro Blues is on my top 10 list. Greggs voice was at its bluesy best on it. I treat her like a doggone queen. Give it a listen.

I turns out I get the keep getting the date of Duane's death mixed up with Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash which was much later. (And I can't stand Sweet Home Alabama.)

Dumbass, you said it wrong. The correct wording is: Why don’t you go back where you came from? You don’t belong here.

He spent all his time looking for a birth certificate. No time for fun.

He sought to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that he's become.

Playing tackle football in the backyard, being big for my age and carrying other kids on my back, I always made believe I was Jim Taylor. My hero. 1962 NFL League MVP. On a team chock full of heroes, Mr Taylor was my favorite ultimate smash mouth Lombardi icon (Ray Nitschke was my close 2nd). When I heard, I chocked up. RIP Mr. Taylor.

Never been a greater confluence of talent and coaching than 1959. RIP Jim Taylor.

I am too young to remember the Lombardi years but I did get to sit near him at the HOF game about 10 years ago when the Packers played the Chiefs. At that time he looks fantastic like he still was in playing shape. RIP!

Re: Jim Taylor, 1935-2018
Too young to have seen Taylor, but I remember something funny from an interview with Taylor from like 35 years ago back in 1983 where he talked about Paul Hornung (Maybe an NFL Films interview?). Taylor started out sort of with the usual "Paul was a great player, yada yada yada". He loosened up by the end of the interview and said something like "The best thing Paul did was he got us the broads man!!". I can't say if that was the exact quote, but it was funny when I saw the interview. I...

RIP. Brought football back to Houston. The article says he was battling cancer of different forms. At the age of 81 at least he had one more year on the earth than my mom.

Yes I have his card---one of the more unique because back in the day, Topps would just use whatever picture they had of the guy, even if the team didn't match.
