A great read about an extraordinary man and drummer.

Very good look into who he was in all aspects of life. Thanks for that link. Will pass it on to other musicians at work.

He was one of a kind in more ways than just his musicianship. I've never read any of his books, I would like to do that sometime as well.

That was an excellent read thanks for sharing.

Well written. Nice.

I was inspired to pick up a copy of "Ghost Rider" after reading that article. He was a wonderful writer, though I think it wil make me very sad. I don't deal.well with loss.

Good read..it captured something.

I really liked this particular passage:

 (“You can do a lot in a lifetime,” he wrote in the lyrics to “Marathon,” one of Rush’s most powerful songs, “if you don’t burn out too fast.”) That was one of his signatures as a drummer, too, cramming an improbable amount of rhythmic information into each bar of music; he made his living by pushing the limits of time.

I finished Ghost Rider earlier this week, and I was wrong about it making me sad: it's more about healing and hope.

I can't imagine losing my entire family within 10 months. I am not sure that I would survive it. But he did, and had a good second act. I certainly would want to run away from wherever I was.

I'm in danger of losing my Rush card credentials, as I have not read Ghost Rider yet...I'll put it on the list of stuff to buy. That said, I agree, I'm not sure how anyone could survive that double blow...
